It's funny....I grew up listening to people like that....that actually could sing!!! Then totally let down by shows like "the voice" and "American Idol"....(no talent + too much attitude) New singers have SO much to learn.
Something to be said about music from the 80's backwards. Before computers and auto tune they had to rely on the strength of the lead singer...........
A lot of fascinating history surrounding this song. Let's just say, The Animals changed folk music forever with this release. It's a really good read if you haven't dove into the history of this song.
This video wasn’t recorded in one take. And the audio is from the audio recording, not the video. And I don’t think they were on the road; they drove down from their hometown in NE England to make this. So, everything you said is pretty much wrong.
@@kurt6867 You are right ..the fans here show how the truth can get distorted over time which includes the story about where this song originated. So many different stories.
My favorite part of watching reactions to this song is seeing the look on people's faces when Eric Burdon opens his mouth and starts singing. Always priceless.
Agreed! I smile in anticipation, just waiting to see their jaws drop. I find myself saying, "Hang on, sisters and brothers, because it's going to get even more powerful in here!"
The only thing that I find comparable is maybe a young John Forgerty belting out Born on the Bayou when it comes to a voice not matching the person its coming out of.
X ... this is what happens when American Blues has to relocate to Europe just to survive and is taken in by British open arms, & then gets shipped back. (Still like Frigid Pink’s version better though....)
My late brother loved to do karaoke, and told me that House of the Rising Sun was microphone death for the average karaoke singer. You have to keep belting out verse after verse, and after a while, the old vocal cords have had enough, and you just have to give up. That Eric Burdon, he was an animal.
usually they already have been listening it multiple times they just act like not .... how it is even possible to not know it -... it was milion times in movies and billion times in radio
Damn Yes! And without Autotune you had to put the hard work in too! Years ago I saw (on tv) The Corrs play Live at the Albert Hall. They Packed It (it's friggin' massive) & they effing Rocked It! In key, in tune, cohesive playing & singing. Perfection in every way - Truly talented, professional entertainers who worked and practiced hard and delivered the goods. Next tv show was also a concert (Definitely NOT the Albert Hall!) Some shitty, crappy, put together for their pretty boy looks "Manufactured Boy Band" called (so inventively) "5", cause there was, you know, 5 of the forgettable shits. Off key, out of tune and out of step. So sad that the girls in the crowd still shrieked for their pretty faces, at least shouting and drowning out the awfulness of the vocals. After the incredible full-length perfection of The Corrs, I shut off "5" within 1.5 minutes! Nothing beats talent working hard.
@@SensibleMoniker Have you ever heard Gene Krupa on the drums? Or how about the bands of the "Swing Era", like Tommy Dorsey! There's many examples of how swing transitioned into rock and roll. Buddy Holly proved a 3 piece band - drums, guitar and bass was all that was needed to be a number 1 hit! He was also the first to incorporate a large orchestra. So, from the '30's to the early '60's music evolved into greatness. From then on very few musicians can be called musicians!
Not true. I've watched around 20 reaction videos of reactors who watched this or the black & white version video as their first time seeing The Animals & their singer. Easily over half of them made no mention of being remotely surprised of the voice that came from him. *EDIT Most reactors did take note of his great singing voice, but the majority of them made no reference of being surprised in relation to how it came from a young looking fellow.
Thank you. When I first heard that song 57 years ago when it first came out I literally got goosebumps. I'm almost 72 and it still gives me chills. Love Eric Burdon. Rock on from Tasmania
Yes, he gives me chills too. I wasn’t sure if that happened to other people listening to talented singers. My family members don’t know what I’m talking about. Back then they didn’t have tricks to make your voice sound better. What you heard was the reality. Today it’s all backing tracks and autotune.
I'm 73 and had a crush on Eric Burdon at around 17. All of the Animals songs were soulful. When we say the music of the 60s was the best...we know what we're talking about. Beatles, Beach Boys, Animals, Moody Blues, Dylan, etc.
As amazing as the recording is, Eric Burdon stated in an interview on the Professor of Rock TH-cam channel that the recording was done on a single take. They hauled all of their equipment on a train to London, set up in the studio, played through once, packed up and got back on the train to travel to do a show.
They did that for their first recording, because they only wrote their version of this song a few days before and it was so popular on their tour they decided they needed to record it. The one in this video is not that version, though.
I wasn't a big Animals fan as a teen in the 70s, but now I recognize the power and subtlety of Eric Burdon's voice - he is unique. I'm definitely a fan now.
The bass player Chas Chandler saw an unknown black guitarist playing in New York and thought he could be made into a star and paid out of his own pocket for his airline flight to London and his lodgings, food and other overheads plus helped audition a drummer and bass player in England to form the rest of the band. He also paid for a hall for them to practice in and after inviting every star he knew to their first gigs that he also arranged but after still failing to get the new band a record contract he paid for their first single. The single 'Hey Joe' was a hit and that unknown guitarist was Jimi Hendrix and the band was the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Even the famous Hendrix stage stunt of setting fire to his guitar was a Chandler idea.
And then... Paul McArtney wanted him to make it in the US so he told The Monterrey Festival that he would be part of it only if they let Jimi play. Then... Peter Tork, from the tv show, The Monkees, was announcing at the festival watched Jimi with Micky Dolenz, same tv show but wasn’t impressed. Micky totally appreciated Jimi. The Monkees toured with Jimi as their warm up act but it was a disaster. Jimi all hardcore and psychedelic and Monkees fans, “ we want the Monkees, we want Davy “ Jimi did six or seven shows, finally throwing his guitar out in the crowd and flipping them off
I didn’t know that. I knew that The Who had pyrotechnics and as they walked off the stage at the Monterey Pop festival, they told Jimi, Beat that! Jimi did it by setting fire to his guitar
He's the guitar player, Hilton Valentine that's smiling. Chas Chandler is the bass player but he's the tallest and at the back. And I never noticed this before... I was always mesmerized by Eric singing 😍
It was the guitarist (Hilton Valentine) grinning, rather than the bassist. And as others have said, he sadly died in Jan 2021. In a recent interview he said this about it: "I was laughing because it felt strange that we kept having to walk around in circles miming to it. I caught a glimpse of us in the monitor, and that was it for me. I had to laugh!" www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2020/10/16/why-did-the-60s-group-the-animals-break-up-at-the-height-of-their-popularity/?sh=4c44777e17f5
Something to the effect of: Eric Burdon looked 13, was 23, and sang like 33. Burdon is frequently cited as one of the finest white blues singers in history
When I first heard eric Burden back in the 60s I thought he was black a d do did everyone else.. then when we saw him we were like holy fuck that white boy can blow.. been in love with him ever since.. met him a couple times.. he is the real deal!!
Yes he has , I was 9 years old when I heard this song for the first time I was blown a way by his voice. I cry like a river goesbumps all over it fellt like elektricitet in my body, and I dont understand english back then I am 64 years old Woman from Sweden, and yes I still love his voice.
I first heard this song in 1964 when I was 20 years old, I’ve loved it ever since I first heard it. Eric is the greatest rock/blues singer ever! I’m 79 years old and I listen to his music daily!
Your reaction and assessment is spot on. I was born that year (64) and grew up with timeless soul singers and music was raw. I was a little white southern girl who was lucky to grow up near an all black neighborhood. Every day all the kids on the bus would sing. Kids would play spoons and keep a beat on the old bus seats. We would sing these songs and make up our own. I couldn't wait for the bus ride home and be swallowed up in all that bluesy soul. I had an hour bus ride and it was never long enough.
There's something authentic and soulful about music played with real instruments (without too much studio trickery). It's satisfying on a deep level. I love that Jayy is discovering how powerful & beautiful this old music can be. Analog is the real deal!
This is the first time I ever saw one of your videos young lady, and I wish to compliment you very highly for how you conduct yourself. You got into the song and message and let it carry you before commenting. That is the mark of a true analyst. Too damn many youngsters doing what you do ... never feel the song. They keep interrupting every few bars and that is stupid. You, young lady are a special breath of fresh air. Thank you.
Yes. She's one of the very best because she is OPEN to what she sees and listens to. I just watched a 'reaction' by a woman who styles herself as a specialist in classical music. Talk about a music snob. She spent the first 10 minutes talking about the old folk song it is based on and playing her harp. Then she stopped the record at least 4 times within the first minute...the first stop was before Eric Burdon had even opened his mouth. Needless to say she missed the whole story arc and had nothing genuinely heart-felt and insightful to offer at all. She way as well have been talking about a list of cooking ingredients. Soul-less. This girl has soul. She reacts genuinely to the music. She is a diamond.Hope the bloke who is lucky enough to be with her appreciates her.
Watching your eyes when Eric Burdon started singing was the best thing ever! And you are so right, that baby face and that voice... not expected at all!
The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors.
My mom is 74, this is her favorite song, from her youth. I love everything about this video! That is was done in real time is amazing. The suits, the voice, the keyboards, LOVE IT!
Nah. I'm a boomer and it might seem that way to us, but our music has already been through the natural selection process. We had plenty of trash, too. All of our trash is gone and long forgotten. There is a formula in radio broadcasting called something like "threshold plus 18" (Pros out there, please correct me). Basically what it means, most of us stop exploring new music in our late 30's. Don't be part of that. Keep listening to new music, even when it hurts. You will find some amazing art.
It finally hit me after seeing this video so many times. They're mimicking a New Orleans-style death march, where the traditional funerals have the marchers single-filing down the street playing their instruments in a somber looking procession. One beat at a time.
Thank you...I was too little to see this back in the day, 7 years old; never had a Face to put with the Sound...but always liked it. But now I think it's even more powerful than before that to me! But I originally heard it from Joan Baez!
It was recorded in one take on May 18th 1964. They where in the UK touring with Chuck Berry and wanted to preform something different to stand apart from the other rockers at the time. The Animals had preformed the song so many times it was like second nature for them.
Love when younger Generations listen to music from the past because Eric Burton has a kick-ass voice and the way that the melody goes it is awesome the animals were great back then
Masterpiece, pure and simple. Chazz Chandler, the bass player is the one who put Jimi Hendrix, on, by bringing him to London, England and the rest is History.
Here comes the sun features the first moog sound used in popular music, as George Harrison had interest in electronic music. Stop being a snob mate. Listen to the Electric Sounds albums of George while you're at it; you might learn a thing or two.
Legend has it this song was recorded in one take. Rumor has it they were touring so relentlessly they had this song completely dialed in. Pretty amazing result!
And yet it's true! I've seen other videos of young black people hearing '60's music for the first time and they are SHOCKED! I guess all they (and everyone else young today) just listen to is rap. I was a teen in the 60's, and the music we had back then was GREAT!!
I think most people have heard bits of House of the Rising Sun, because it's been licensed to movies and TV shows a lot. They just never heard the song itself all the way through. Bob Seger's a little like that. So is AC/DC-- you know you heard Shook Me All Night Long somewhere, you just can't place it . . .
Its cause all these new younger generations have trash taste in music. They've never heard real music. They listen to that mass produced soulless garbage. Its a shame that so many young people haven't heard jazz or soul because all they listen to is rap. Especially black youth. They're missing a huge part of African American culture because Hollywood and mainstream music says they should only listen to rap. Its sad
I love the rawness of his singing voice and the power behind it. I miss the days of absolutely no autotune at all, you could actually hear an artists true voice. xoxo love from Maryland
Murreen i heard this song for the first time when I Was 9 years old, l dont understand english back then . I turning 65 this year, it took me nearly 30 years befor i fully understand the full meaning of his song , i vas blown away of Erics voice and The music and all the reast oaut of the Windows if you understand what I meaning.
@@maureenmcgovern6119 Maureen, I was 13 when this song was released here in the states. I may not have understood it was about a house of ill-repute at first, but I definitely understood he was a "bad" boy and he had me hooked! My girlfriends and I had to play that record so low volume we couldn't hardly hear it just so our parents wouldn't hear. Love Eric Burden!
Yes he was close with Jimmy. He’s upset at some of the BS that surrounds Jimmys last days etc. Likes his LSD and so stayed out in California to take advantage of the weather. Also has lung issues and the weather is good for his breathing.
There's really no other way to encounter Eric Burdon for the first time. In my opinion he's the finest British blues singer of the 60s, no contest. And this is one of his finest performances.
Eric Burdon had this baby face but when he opened his mouth to sing it reached right down into you and blows you away. I love the way you describe hearing this song for the first time and thank you for sharing this.
When she said “I did not expect that voice to come out of that little face.” It’s simple why he sounds like that, people were so good back then is because they didn’t use auto-tune so they had great voices.
Has nothing to do with Autotune. His voice is deep, raspy and strong. He looks young and one wouldn't expect that type of voice from him by just looking at him.
I like you appreciated the keyboard solo by the late great Alan Price. He was a phenomenal keyboardist and a fine songwriter on his own... of course the song is a classic in rock catalogue, although it's a cover of an old folk american song from the 30s
As a 16 year old in 1966,The Animals were the first live group I had the honour to see,they were wonderful.I'm a Brit and I'm proud to say "the best music in the world came from Britain in the 60's and 70's,you kids don't know what you've missed.
Yes it was a wonderful time. My generation before the computers, smart phones etc. MAGICAL. Thank God I was born than. I had the best America had to offer. Now the working man and woman work for the ten percent of the population to have what they (working class) can never have. The inequality in all aspects of this Nation is so wide and pervasive, written into law, that a child born into another FIRST WORLD COUNTRY has a better chance for a better life.
@@THEJAYYSHOW I love this video and your reaction, and I had the same, when I saw that face and hear that voice ... BLOWN away, so happy with your review you got a new subscriber!
" Spill The Wine by War and Eric Burdon " ? Are you sure ? th-cam.com/video/4-Xs7NK-7B8/w-d-xo.html . .. that was the only time I saw a Black man wearing Denim Hot Pants - There is a reason why that Fashion was not popular !
I remember as late as the early 90s I found this on a pub jukebox and of course played it. Almost everyone in the pub stopped chatting and sat there just really enjoying the music. His voice just commands a room really. Lovely to see these reactions from newer generations. Yes the 60s and 70s produced some amazing talent and so good to see them being kept alive by newer generations. My favourite part of youtube really.
Another great British band from the 1960s. The bass player "discovered" Jimi Hendricks in New York when the Animals were on a tour of America; brought Jimi to London, and the rest is history as they say.
I love your eyes as Eric Burden gets into the song.... This song still has the capacity to send a chill down your back and make the hair on your neck rise.
Yeah from what I’ve heard the song and the actual house of the rising son have been around for a long time. The song apparently goes back at least a couple of centuries, the animals covered it here and so did lead belly among many others. The house itself was burned to the ground and rebuilt several times
The Animals had a great style of their own, GREAT GROUP. The expression on your face when that Little Man belt it out those powerful notes. # PRICELESS😀😀😀
One of the most iconic rock n roll songs for all time... love watching these youngins just now discovering them! 😎🤗😉 Just saw a video of Eric Burden and the Animals singing this the other day. He can still "blow" his voice out. 🤣
He was 23 when he sang it and he is still singing The song is an iconic song here in the uk there is probably not a day goes past when this played here (I am learning to play the bass of this song) I was lucky to be 10 years old when this came out, here in the UK you have to listen to a few more songs of the animals the organist is called Alan Price he had his own group later on and he is also a song writer
The singer, Eric Burdon is 23 years old in this vid...The keyboard player is Alan Price....the drummer is John Steel...Hilton Valentine plays the guitar...Chas Chandler plays the bass....Chas discovered Jimi Hendrix playing in a New York club....he brought him to England...put him up in a hotel and became his manager...and the rest as they say is history🤩
Have loved them since 1964! Love Eric the lead singer since I was 13 , I will be 70 ,April 10th. Eric will be 80 May 11 and he is still singing . Yes, he is powerful as was Alan Price,John Steele, Chas Chandler (deceased) and Hilton Valentine (deceased this year). Thankful their music is still part of my life . Thank you for listening to them, my guys!!

My late brother loved to do karaoke, and told me that House of the Rising Sun was microphone death for the average karaoke singer.

@Rae Weisz no it's not. It's by some little blond girl in Kentucky. Look it up and be shocked.
They say the house of the rising sun was in New Orleans but was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina.
This video of a young woman discovering music that she's never heard before is pure joy.
Oh yes, than it's time to hear "Rammstein" with the Song "Deutschland"! ✌️👍
I agree. Watching her listen to this song that I have been listening to all my life gave me chills.
she has a soul for music, true love... the best
I could not agree with you more! She says what a lot of people say ... they can't believe that voice came out of that young man.
She was wonderful to watch; wasn't she?
Honey, the look on your face when he started singing was priceless! We had good music back in the day! So glad you enjoyed that! 😊💕
Dear God...isn't that the truth?!

And then... Paul McArtney wanted him to make it in the US so he told The Monterrey Festival that he would be part of it only if they let Jimi play. Then... Peter Tork, from the tv show, The Monkees, was announcing at the festival watched Jimi with Micky Dolenz, same tv show but wasn’t impressed. Micky totally appreciated Jimi. The
Monkees toured with Jimi as their warm up act but it was a disaster. Jimi all hardcore and psychedelic and Monkees fans, “ we want the Monkees, we want Davy “ Jimi did six or seven shows, finally throwing his guitar out in the crowd and flipping them off
I didn’t know that. I knew that The Who had pyrotechnics and as they walked off the stage at the Monterey Pop festival, they told Jimi, Beat that! Jimi did it by setting fire to his guitar
Holy F! How Incredible! I never knew that. Thanks so much for posting that.
My favorite is the bassist's face. Everyone else is somber, to match the tone of the song. Then he's over there just grinning, livin' his best life.
Bass player bought Hendrix over to England and became his manager
...Like the Cheshire Cat. LOL
He's the guitar player, Hilton Valentine that's smiling. Chas Chandler is the bass player but he's the tallest and at the back. And I never noticed this before... I was always mesmerized by Eric singing 😍
Sadly, he died yesterday. RIP Hilton Valentine.
It was the guitarist (Hilton Valentine) grinning, rather than the bassist. And as others have said, he sadly died in Jan 2021. In a recent interview he said this about it: "I was laughing because it felt strange that we kept having to walk around in circles miming to it. I caught a glimpse of us in the monitor, and that was it for me. I had to laugh!"

Eric Burden has an amazing voice. He was a kid at this time.
Yep. He was 23.
wise beyond his years
The 60’s was a golden age for British pop -and this track proves it. Makes me proud to be British. Glad you enjoyed it too.
Something to the effect of: Eric Burdon looked 13, was 23, and sang like 33. Burdon is frequently cited as one of the finest white blues singers in history
His presence is mesmerizing. He might be the most important white male blues singer ever.
Along with Bobby Hatfield
When I first heard eric Burden back in the 60s I thought he was black a d do did everyone else.. then when we saw him we were like holy fuck that white boy can blow.. been in love with him ever since.. met him a couple times.. he is the real deal!!
Nathan White he’s soul r&b tho
@@johncase2408 He is good but the best was Captain Beefheart from Captain Beefheart And his magic band. Captain Beefheart a.k.a. Don Van Vliet.
That's Eric Burdon and he can sing, he had a hard life when he was young. He was and is a hard man.
They all were from Walker (east end of Newcastle) in those times
Most Geordies are hard - they've had to be.
I love Eric Burden.what a face and voice.
he looks like hes from glasgow and would slash someone haha
That's why he has soul
"I didn't expect that to come out of that little face."
I love you for that, damn near pissed myself.
Lmfao👏🏼☺
Haha that made my night!
A very racist comment she made!
I’m so blessed to have heard these songs when they first came out. So much great music in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s.
Much better than today
Just turned 73 weeks ago and yeah, man we had the best music ever!!
you know that. So glad i was around to grow up with so much sweet music in the
uk
Yes he has one of the most powerful and moving voices in the history of rock and roll and this song as well as moving and powerful.
Yes he has , I was 9 years old when I heard this song for the first time I was blown a way by his voice. I cry like a river goesbumps all over it fellt like elektricitet in my body, and I dont understand english back then I am 64 years old Woman from Sweden, and yes I still love his voice.
I first heard this song in 1964 when I was 20 years old, I’ve loved it ever since I first heard it. Eric is the greatest rock/blues singer ever! I’m 79 years old and I listen to his music daily!
One of my all time favorite songs. I am 70.
66 years, and one of mine
One of the best songs to come out of the British Invasion. And Eric Burdon DEFINITELY has some pipes on him!
We saw him a couple of years ago. He still has great pipes. He was great
Your reaction and assessment is spot on. I was born that year (64) and grew up with timeless soul singers and music was raw. I was a little white southern girl who was lucky to grow up near an all black neighborhood. Every day all the kids on the bus would sing. Kids would play spoons and keep a beat on the old bus seats. We would sing these songs and make up our own. I couldn't wait for the bus ride home and be swallowed up in all that bluesy soul. I had an hour bus ride and it was never long enough.
Her reaction deserves a oscar. I am so happy that she is listening to such great music.
And that’s his voice. No Autotune back then.
Forget auto tune, the clarity from equipment wasn't even perfect, so imagine how it actually sounded
@@kurtsudheim825 dont say that Eric burdon really did sing like that even with no auto tune or stereo
One of the greatest voices ever. Eric Burdon is a legend.
The best organ solo in rock history.
There's something authentic and soulful about music played with real instruments (without too much studio trickery). It's satisfying on a deep level. I love that Jayy is discovering how powerful & beautiful this old music can be. Analog is the real deal!
This is the first time I ever saw one of your videos young lady, and I wish to compliment you very highly for how you conduct yourself.
You got into the song and message and let it carry you before commenting.
That is the mark of a true analyst.
Too damn many youngsters doing what you do ... never feel the song. They keep interrupting every few bars and that is stupid.
You, young lady are a special breath of fresh air.
Thank you.
Yes. She's one of the very best because she is OPEN to what she sees and listens to. I just watched a 'reaction' by a woman who styles herself as a specialist in classical music. Talk about a music snob. She spent the first 10 minutes talking about the old folk song it is based on and playing her harp. Then she stopped the record at least 4 times within the first minute...the first stop was before Eric Burdon had even opened his mouth. Needless to say she missed the whole story arc and had nothing genuinely heart-felt and insightful to offer at all. She way as well have been talking about a list of cooking ingredients. Soul-less. This girl has soul. She reacts genuinely to the music. She is a diamond.Hope the bloke who is lucky enough to be with her appreciates her.
Watching your eyes when Eric Burdon started singing was the best thing ever! And you are so right, that baby face and that voice... not expected at all!
You are so right. Her face tells it all. His voice is unbelievably strong
@@bjlaws1158 Yet actually when you look at his strong shoulders and neck you can see he is built for singing.
That organist is crazy too
thats Alan Price on the organ.
He's playing a Vox Continental wood key single manual V301J with custom shortened valve stops.

@@tandraig yes the thief who ripped off the band by registering the rights to himself
@@georgeralph8031 that's such a geeky thing too say and I love it
The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors.
Interesting
Haters gonna hate 🤷
Yep! I am from New Orleans. An old timer showed me the House of the Rising Sun. Very cool
@@99dedbuffoons17 what does this have to do with hate ?
That’s what I was lookin for - the back story. I knew it was about a brothel, but that’s all.
My mom is 74, this is her favorite song, from her youth. I love everything about this video! That is was done in real time is amazing. The suits, the voice, the keyboards, LOVE IT!
And not to mention the little bows at the end, real 60s. I’m 75.
There's a reason they called it the British Invasion...
My generation had the BEST music.
no
Yes and I am not the correct generation but love it all.
@@krzysztofc5821 yes
Nah. I'm a boomer and it might seem that way to us, but our music has already been through the natural selection process. We had plenty of trash, too. All of our trash is gone and long forgotten.
There is a formula in radio broadcasting called something like "threshold plus 18" (Pros out there, please correct me). Basically what it means, most of us stop exploring new music in our late 30's. Don't be part of that. Keep listening to new music, even when it hurts. You will find some amazing art.
@@cosenbaughful that's my philosophy as well
I once met Eric Burdon in a pub in Australia, and he was so polite and happy to have a beer with me. Great memories of a legend .
So great!!you re lucky
I've never met Eric Burdon.
My all time favorite reaction! Eric Burdon was the badass of the 60s. Unbelievable voice, and attitude.
It finally hit me after seeing this video so many times. They're mimicking a New Orleans-style death march, where the traditional funerals have the marchers single-filing down the street playing their instruments in a somber looking procession. One beat at a time.
Ok. Thank you. I did not know this. You are very astute.
@@aimeekubik8803 One of those things that hits you suddenly like a ton of bricks. It was sure creative of the Animals to think of doing it that way.
Yup. They call a piece like that a “dirge.”
Like in the beginning of James Bond Live and Let Die.
Thank you...I was too little to see this back in the day, 7 years old; never had a Face to put with the Sound...but always liked it. But now I think it's even more powerful than before that to me! But I originally heard it from Joan Baez!
Simply the best version. Why is everyone suddenly finding it? Gods, I'm old.
Really, its on the air waves all the time. It blew everything off the charts in '64 I believe
I'm old too
im 42 loved the animals since i was like 3 or 4yrs ol
I think of the movie Casino every time I hear this song.
It's a restored version of the original film and audio.
Eric Burdon was 22 when he made this, he is 80 this year. And still going strong.I remember when this came out
one of the best rock singers
Without question
he was 23 I believe
What year did it come out?
Thank you........His voice is unbelievable
Dude looks 13 and sings like a 50 year old that has seen some stuff in his day!
Exactly ! Looks like the paper boy and sings like a world weary sinner 😊
haha nailed it
@• Haze • Lol
@• Haze • Coal country. Life is hard anywhere there's anthracite in the ground...
@Luna That is too funny!!!
Blues was the biggest influence on British 60's music. Tip of the iceberg.
On everyone's.
It was recorded in one take on May 18th 1964. They where in the UK touring with Chuck Berry and wanted to preform something different to stand apart from the other rockers at the time. The Animals had preformed the song so many times it was like second nature for them.
Love when younger Generations listen to music from the past because Eric Burton has a kick-ass voice and the way that the melody goes it is awesome the animals were great back then
That boy can SING and yeah the band is giving it their all! This is one an awesome song.
Eric Burdon is one of the most soulful voices to come out of the UK, end of.
Masterpiece, pure and simple. Chazz Chandler, the bass player is the one who put Jimi Hendrix, on, by bringing him to London, England and the rest is History.
Thx for memories of 60's. Enjoy young people of 2022!
0 Autotune used back then, 0 computers for the instruments, all talent, no hacks like today's music (?)
Here comes the sun features the first moog sound used in popular music, as George Harrison had interest in electronic music. Stop being a snob mate. Listen to the Electric Sounds albums of George while you're at it; you might learn a thing or two.
Plenty of hacks were stealing a living back then. What are you talking about? Trying to sound cool, ye?
@@videolad3057 purists in music are just irritating innit. Like, who can deny Kraftwerk is cool??
All tools can produce phenomenal results in the right hands including autotune.
Plenty of playback and tape back then though.
He’s 79 and still performing. The greatest voice in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
I'd say Tom Jones might disagree with you. Lol
He definitely wasn’t the greatest voice in the 60s, 70s or the 80s

Try him(Eric Burdon) and War singing spill the wine
That is the jam jayy
Oh ya!! Great song
Yes! "Spill the wine" original studio version
Absolutely one of the greatest songs ever! Loved Eric Burdon since the first time I heard him in the 60's
Shit yeah I'm trying to persuade her into it!!
Legend has it this song was recorded in one take. Rumor has it they were touring so relentlessly they had this song completely dialed in. Pretty amazing result!
I have a hard time believing people in America have never heard of House of the Rising Sun.
And yet it's true! I've seen other videos of young black people hearing '60's music for the first time and they are SHOCKED! I guess all they (and everyone else young today) just listen to is rap. I was a teen in the 60's, and the music we had back then was GREAT!!
I think most people have heard bits of House of the Rising Sun, because it's been licensed to movies and TV shows a lot. They just never heard the song itself all the way through. Bob Seger's a little like that. So is AC/DC-- you know you heard Shook Me All Night Long somewhere, you just can't place it . . .
I thought it was me
It all depends on what we look for as individuals.
Its cause all these new younger generations have trash taste in music. They've never heard real music. They listen to that mass produced soulless garbage. Its a shame that so many young people haven't heard jazz or soul because all they listen to is rap. Especially black youth. They're missing a huge part of African American culture because Hollywood and mainstream music says they should only listen to rap. Its sad
Eric Burden. Most underated singer/voice in music. Unreal voice
This song is timeless and the message is a cautionary tale.❤
I love the rawness of his singing voice and the power behind it. I miss the days of absolutely no autotune at all, you could actually hear an artists true voice.
xoxo love from Maryland
lol the Eric Burdon effect, no chick can withstand it.
I don’t think this girl, truly got this song. It took me into my early 20’s to get this song. It’s no Henry the Eighth I Am....;)
Murreen i heard this song for the first time when I Was 9 years old, l dont understand english back then . I turning 65 this year, it took me nearly 30 years befor i fully understand the full meaning of his song , i vas blown away of Erics voice and The music and all the reast oaut of the Windows if you understand what I meaning.
@@maureenmcgovern6119
Maureen, I was 13 when this song was released here in the states. I may not have understood it was about a house of ill-repute at first, but I definitely understood he was a "bad" boy and he had me hooked! My girlfriends and I had to play that record so low volume we couldn't hardly hear it just so our parents wouldn't hear. Love Eric Burden!
@@maureenmcgovern6119 Agreed. I didn't understand it at 17.
Isn’t Eric wonderful?? One of the best voices out there! So wonderful seeing others appreciate them.
Eric Burdon has had that effect from many on first hearing him. Thank you for the video
The power of Eric's voice is like hearing and feeling a sonic boom go through your brain!
Lol. That little face, Eric Burdon, was also good friends with John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, and Jimi Hendrix.
Yes he was close with Jimmy. He’s upset at some of the BS that surrounds Jimmys last days etc. Likes his LSD and so stayed out in California to take advantage of the weather. Also has lung issues and the weather is good for his breathing.
Watching her expression change as the song progresses brings me endless joy.
I love that young people are listening to this classic. He was much older than his years.
You know a reaction is genuine when someone is knocked entirely speechless by their first encounter with Eric Burdon
lmao, pretty trash reacton, she just has her eyes open the whole video, eh
There's really no other way to encounter Eric Burdon for the first time. In my opinion he's the finest British blues singer of the 60s, no contest. And this is one of his finest performances.
You know the Animals are the ones that “discovered” Jimi Hendrix.
Wait, so they made him?
Not the whole band, just the bassist. He saw him play at one of his gigs solo and put his raw talent under contract
I think it was Mic Jaggers girlfriend first, if your referring to him getting noticed by the British.
Chad Chandler was his manager
Check out Eric Burden with War
Eric Burdon had this baby face but when he opened his mouth to sing it reached right down into you and blows you away. I love the way you describe hearing this song for the first time and thank you for sharing this.
When she said “I did not expect that voice to come out of that little face.” It’s simple why he sounds like that, people were so good back then is because they didn’t use auto-tune so they had great voices.
Exactly. Back then, you got big if you had the chops, no excuses.
Has nothing to do with Autotune. His voice is deep, raspy and strong. He looks young and one wouldn't expect that type of voice from him by just looking at him.
He was 23 but looked 12

I like you appreciated the keyboard solo by the late great Alan Price. He was a phenomenal keyboardist and a fine songwriter on his own... of course the song is a classic in rock catalogue, although it's a cover of an old folk american song from the 30s
Woody Guthrie recorded it too.
It actually goes even farther back than the 30s if memory serves it was originally a very old British/english mining tune.
I thought Alan Price was still alive.
As a 16 year old in 1966,The Animals were the first live group I had the honour to see,they were wonderful.I'm a Brit and I'm proud to say "the best music in the world came from Britain in the 60's and 70's,you kids don't know what you've missed.

His voice just commands a room really. Lovely to see these reactions from newer generations. Yes the 60s and 70s produced some amazing talent and so good to see them being kept alive by newer generations. My favourite part of youtube really.
That look on your face when Eric started singing! HaHa, you're not the first one to be floored at the sound coming out of him.
Love to see young people discover the great music I grew up with.
Even more astounding is the fact that he was singing in full strength and hitting those high notes with seemingly no effort.
It's lip sync
Loved your reaction to this. House Of The Rising Sun is what I consider to be a timeless classic. That young man had a one of a kind voice.
Another great British band from the 1960s. The bass player "discovered" Jimi Hendricks in New York when the Animals were on a tour of America; brought Jimi to London, and the rest is history as they say.

I love your eyes as Eric Burden gets into the song.... This song still has the capacity to send a chill down your back and make the hair on your neck rise.
One of the top rock songs of all times and title may refer to a brothel. The Animals with their bluesy rock style was part of the British Invasion.
House of The Rising Sun was a heroine house in New Orleans. I saw it from the outside years ago.
Yeah from what I’ve heard the song and the actual house of the rising son have been around for a long time. The song apparently goes back at least a couple of centuries, the animals covered it here and so did lead belly among many others. The house itself was burned to the ground and rebuilt several times
No not a brothel house of the rising sun is an opium house
TheChillimouse I think it has been both
Gambling joint... Maybe it was also a brothel... you know... Likker in the front and poker in the rear...Sorry, couldn't resist.
I'm 19 and I have been listening to this song for most my life, why are people NOW just finding it?! I guess better late than never.
These guys were the real deal. And without big Chas Chandler no one would have heard of Jimi Hendrix. Great review.
It’s just great to hear young people listen for the first time to music that I grew up with& know so well

I was going to mention him! I have his soundtrack for O, Lucky Man! on vinyl. It's great.
