One of the best songs to come out of the British invasion! Eric Burdon has one of the most distinctive voices in rock.
yes, also check out Spill The Win on Eric Burdon Declares War.
@@poppingjaz "spill the wine"...
@@jaymehenning2928 yeah Wine, 'spelling'
Also criminally under rated
Frigid pink did this song better.
Check out "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" also by The Animals!
Yes please do.
Love this song, and the music just transforms your soul
Li’l Wayne used it as a sample on the Carter III. He he went off on Al Sharpton. Kinda awesome.
@@TheGingering 💯
@@jaymehenning2928 glad y'all liked it and know real talent when you hear it
They don't make music like this anymore
They were way ahead of their time.
Are yous a bat or wha??
Ain’t that the truth!
In truth, they do. Go find it. There's so much out there today. Technology has allowed many more people to record their music and post it online for all. This has caused much more music to exist. Your challenge is to find it. Fortunately, it's a pleasant quest.
@@nonconsensualopinion yea now days there are so many good bands like Joy formidable and others that no one knows about because back in the day you only heard what the FM radio was playing. Now they exist but hard to find.
Can we talk about how that drummer consistently played that same rhythm throughout the song? I couldnt even hold that rhythm for 2 seconds
Haha it’s all in the wrist
Your poor wife....
This is before autotune, chorus effects, multitracking of vocals or reverb effects. Pure talent. In the studio, they recorded the song in a single take.
When she said a house of joy I thought oh is she in for a surprise...
Actually Les Paul & Mary Ford were mastering multi-tracking vocals in the early l95os, creating the effect of many Mary Fords all singing together like a little choir.
You are, however, otherwise absolutely correct and your point well taken. Most electronic gadgetry that is taken for granted today did not yet exist and the artists who made up the British Invasion, like musicians everywhere else around the world, hadn't any choice but to rely much more heavily on their pure musical ability, skill, selection of material and artistic vision to achieve success.
Those who were very fortunate, like The Beatles, were additionally able to secure artistic management - not to tell them what to do or sound like, but to compliment their already existing vision & make it happen.
It's refreshing to run across others here on YT who really see, hear, and appreciate these artists for the raw talent they had.😉
There's reverb on this, Studios had chamber reverb then
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 - True
But House of the Rising Sun was done in a single take in the studio with the band and no post production. So reverb probably wasn't used here, unless they stuck the vocals through a guitar amp.
@spacecadet35 they used to record live with reverb in the 60s, it wasn't always done afterwards. The vocals would be sent to a chamber built somewhere in the studio, back to the mixing desk and recorded live that way. That's why you get all those 60s records done live with chamber and plate reverbs, as you can clearly hear on his voice here. This song was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios which definitely was a place you would record live with reverb chambers. Not to mention things slap back delay was being used on 50s records in places like Sun Studios, by having the vocals on 2 tape reels, playing around 100 milliseconds apart, creating a delay/reverb effect.
Listen.to: " We Gotta get outta this place " by the animals!
Definitely this one
Thanks... Never knew that was their song.
He was killin it on the electric organ.
That was a Vox Continental which was a pretty new thing having come out early 60's
Soon formed his own Band: The Alan Price Set....:)
Hammond.
KILLIN IT!!!!!!!
@@Isleofskye I saw The Alan Price Set in Cambridge; great evening
And that folks, is how an orange top Vox Continental V301J organ with English wooden keys and custom shortened valve stops, sounds like.
Fabulous Observation, sir.
Just Fabulous!✌🍁✌
I read somewhere that another organ company sued them and won. Had to do
with Continental stealing their design on the organ stops I think. One can check this elsewhere on the internet.
Alan Price produced much of the music in this production. He received all the residuals and the rest of the group received nothing. Price had a fear of flying. After this production/recording
Price broke away from the group and the group was never the same.
Hammond.
The Animals are from Newcastle-Upon-Thyme in the UK. They had a strong R&B influence from the USA, which you probably noticed. Others have already pointed them out, but a couple of tracks you need to check out from the Animals are "We got to get out of this place" & "Please Don't Let Me be Misunderstood". The lead singer also went on to form another group, Eric Burden & War, which later was shortened to just War.. A few good tracks are "Spill the Wine", "Tobacco Road" and "Paint it Black"...
Hey M Spicer, thank you so much for all the information you’ve shared with us about this amazing group. We will check these songs out💜💜
It's Newcastle-upon-tyne. My home town
@@Geordiegirl36 I bet auto correct did that!
Thanks for bringing those other songs to my mind, loved them all when they came out and still do.
Newcastle upon Tyne (Tyne is the local river)
A RARE, one-off CLASSIC...Eric Burdon tells the raw story with a bit of of a hard edge, and soars beaitifully with his fabulous range of singing - it's one STUNNING full band effort!
"Wow, what a nice group of young men." I loved that reaction. Haha. They're an interesting group, in that they were immensely popular in the sixties (at their height, we're talking near-Beatles-level popularity), but massive problems within the group caused them to fall apart and they've sort of slipped into obscurity. Just in case you're curious, here's a quick rundown on what happened: when they were just getting started, and were naive and not particularly knowledgeable about things like contracts and royalties, they signed the contracts in such a way that Alan Price (the keyboardist) received all the royalties. They thought they would simply split them amongst everyone, but Price played them and took it all. The big bassist, Chas Chandler, became disillusioned, because they were working their tails off but didn't seem to be making any money (see above). He came across a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix, however, and became the man's manager, bringing him out to the UK where his career caught fire. Chandler introduced Hendrix to the lead singer, Eric Burdon, and the two became close friends. Burdon was utterly devastated when Hendrix died, and things fell apart further. Chandler, however, decided he was done with playing, and went on to a career as a manager and talent scout before dying at a fairly young age. The drummer, John Steel, left the group and joined up with another band. They renamed themselves... The Animals. The other band members did not take kindly to this, and they severed all contact with Steel. Price took all of his profits and ran off to a fairly successful solo career. Burdon approached him much later and tried to bury the hatchet, telling him that he could keep all the profits, but to allow them to restructure the contracts so that all future royalties would be divided amongst the band, and they could then all get back together. Price told him to go take a long walk off a short pier, and again, all contact was severed. Burdon went on to a successful career with other bands, most notably the psychedelic rock band, War. Hilton Valentine jumped around, and still does so, even at his age. He and Burdon are the only two members still on speaking terms, and the original Animals have long, long been separated. There you have it. Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but I always found it to be an interesting story, and a good explanation for why so many people have never heard of this once-popular band.
Thanks. Really interesting.
If Pricey was like that you can guarantee he kept all the money from his own Group :)
Sad story... But they had talent and a love for the blues, they came up with their interpretation of the classic blues song, "house of the rising sun"; while ON TOUR with the legendary Chuck Berry!
All of the openers for him where trying to out blues each other ... Many of those english rockers loved the blues; (the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin)
Wow, what a story.
Thank you for taking the time to explain. As much as I LOVE Eric Burton and the Animals, I never knew what busted them up. How devilish! I've recently read he is married to a wonderful younger woman that is a successful attorney and devotes her life now to looking after Eric's affairs - making sure no one takes advantage of his good nature.
Yessir and the band members should have beat the shit out of the Electric Orchestra player
The Animals - Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Yes! The live Ed Sullivan show clip. th-cam.com/video/HHjKzr6tLz0/w-d-xo.html
And We Gotta Get out of this Place. His voice is absolutely amazing.
Or "when I was young."
@@kristerforsman2448 Totally. This clip from The Mike Douglas Show is a fave of mine th-cam.com/video/vRG1OsaiaJk/w-d-xo.html
I just LOVE seeing people hear this for the first time. It reaches into everyone. But don't stop here listen to more from The Animals
Three competent musicians plus one of the best organ players in the world and a killer vocalist. The animals were always worth listening to I love them
An excellent description.
This song was recorded in One take, 1964. Singer only 23 years att THE time.
Amazing only 23 .... and white .... with that voice.
The original mono recording, overhead mike. Note the the keyboard volume over to the drums as the mike is moved around the room. One of my own personal favourites.
The Animals are an incredible band and this song is a legendary song for sure
Agreed , and I’m only 13 born 2009 and yet that Olden music I love it still ❤
My man is just working that organ.....
Wrong movie lol
That's what she said
@Dale Cooper you would have 3 dollars? Lol
@Dale Cooper lol
Wow! Amazing performance, They look like straight up nice young men with their suits, but their music is so dimensional and edgy. .The keyboardist is astonishing, and Etic Burden is a badass!
Lead singer Eric Burdon, was part of the band War for a period of time. They have always been a soundtrack to my life, Eric Burdon and the Animals are British. Their song Good Times is amazing, give it a go;
An old blues song transformed into one of the greatest rock songs ever.
Animals songs, We Gotta Get Outta This Place, Don`t Let Me Be Misunderstood, When I Was Young, It`s My Life.
The bass player Chas Chandler later got Jimi Hendrix started on his solo career and was his manager for awhile.
Eric Burden was the first person Jimis girlfriend called when he died
Chas Chandler is deceased. He played bass guitar, right behind Eric Burdon.
I think his smile near the conclusion is because they successfully recorded it on the first take! My late grandfather would have enjoyed playing alongside Chas, he
also was a bass guitarist.
Yes Kelly. He was the back guitarist behind Eric.
I met a Lady in my local South East London park and as she was saying Goodbye I then asked her what she did and she said that she was a singer and added music runs in the Family and that her Dad was in a Band.
I asked which Band and she told me her Father was Jimi Hendrix :)
Still sounds amazing after all these years what a voice !!!!
i could never reconcile that voice coming out of that face, lol. to me, he always looked like a nine year old boy who'd gotten into trouble and was trying to be all big man about it, struggling not to cry. i wanted to adopt him, lol.
Eric Burdon obviously studied the great blues singers, and became one himself. His unquestion talent is amazing.
Eric Burden and the Animals- When I Was Young.
Great band arrangements, and that voice of Eric Burdon is priceless!! One of the best bands ever
They're walking around like a New Orleans funeral march.
I never thought of that before--thanks!
@@debralang9467 Me nether!!
Or a chain gang.
I mainly noticed that the electric guitar and bass are not hooked up, and the big grin on the guitarist's face near the end of the song.
@@unvettx790 This is the actual reason for them recording this video. The song was out beforehand and with the addition of cordless guitars and whatnot, they recorded this as a sort of way to show it off. Or at least I seem to remember reading that somewhere before.
This was my favorite song of all time while in my teens and 20's. Interesting fact: When I was reading about the history of Seattle, Washington, I read that when the city would take their census back in the 1800's, the many prostitutes working there would state that their occupation was "seamstress". For me, this was an explanation for the weird line, "My mother was a tailor.....sewed my new blue jeans.....my father was a gambling man....." During an interview Eric Burton explained that this "song" had been played in taverns since, at least, the 1920's - maybe earlier. But it was primarily instrumental with just a few lines for the singer. Also, it was mainly sung about a woman - trying to escape her unfortunate heritage and failing. She had to return to the House of the Rising Sun. Eric said they filled out the verses to balance all the instrumental and, of course, the subject of the song became a man. So much amazing original music came out of the 1960's. A fantastic time to be in high school. However, even among Animal fans, I never hear anyone recommending the next best song from Eric Burton - "When I Was Young". Fantastic.
Very interesting twist to the lyrics, Diana. Thank you for the contribution and enlightenment! Makes a world of sense; his father was a gambler, his mother a "soiled dove," not the most solid family foundation for a young man to build his life on.
Yes quite right, although I've discovered the song goes back to the 1850's, and lyrics changed and extended over all those years, to suit the tastes of the period.
Three RockStars in this band:
1. The Drummer
2. The Singer (powerful vocals in a pre-studio engineered age)
3. The Keyboardist (getting crazy!!!)
The Lead singer went to a group called War. Check out their song called Spill the wine ❤️
Man I've watched at least 50 of these reactions to this classic song.but what baffles me is the amount of people who claim they have never heard this song.how could you have avoided it.esp bars restaurants shopping centers.unless they we're brought up in a cave are just out of a coma
Totally get you. Baffles me. There's probably a difference between hearing it and forgetting and actually listening to it and appreciating you may like it. Only thing I can think of
It’s been in movies and tv shows I feel like too
They were part of the British invasion. Burdon was an old soul he was made to sing that song. Still gives me the chills every time I hear it. The song is so full of sorrow and lament. It is an extremely old folk song sang by many people. But this version definitely hits you. ❤️
Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood and We Gotta Get Out of This Place are both wonderful. It's my Life is also awesome.
You might want to react to the Animals song “Please don’t let me be misunderstood”
One of the greatest songs of all time, Eric Burndons voice is incredible on this.
I love watching you two enjoy such classic music, and how y'all let the whole song play out. Ty..🙏🏼😁😉
Eric Burdons voice is incredible.. such power without looking like he has it.. Timeless song.
The Animals were a UK Rock band with an R & B influenced sound. They were contemporaries with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Yardbirds. They had several hit songs, such as "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life", "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place", and "See See Rider". Eric Burdon was the lead singer, and is still alive, recording, and touring. In 1970, Burdon joined a US Funk/Soul band named War, and had a hit song , entitled "Spill The Wine". They had a great performance of the song on the West German TV music program, "Beat Club". Here is a link to that TV performance here on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/3i0DMbCKnAg/w-d-xo.html
Electric keyboard is the instrument.. love these guys and their songs
Mind-blowing voice, extraordinary to come from this young man Eric burden.. legendary forever
Strange that groups like The Animals slipped under your radar, their music was heavily influenced by American black music.
They are a British band from Newcastle.
It's about a "House of Joy" alright. :-) Joy for lonely males in need of female companionship.
I was 10 years old and was one of my favourite tracks back then listening with my older siblings....and still gives me goosebumps...the beauty for us is we attach memories and feelings of those revolutionary times 💖❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
There is NO OTHER song, I have ever heard, with a better organ solo then this one. Hands down!
One of my all time favorite songs, so powerful.
Eric Burden’s voice was fantastic. They recorded this song in one take, no auto tune. They had several hits. They were from England and it wasn’t their idea to wear suits or bow at the end. They were not a suit-wearing bunch of guys. But that’s how they wanted these groups to dress and to bow at the end. This is my all time favorite song. First heard it was in 1964 when I was 15 years old. It’s now my iPhone ringtone
The Beatles weren't the only great band in England in the 60's, there were many.
A bit of history.. the second guitar player (bass) discovered Jimi Hendrix, brought him to London, and helped him launch his career... and The House of the Rising Sun is a gambling house and brothel...
Eric Burdon is pure soul and the keyboards blow you away 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👏👏👏☮️💟
How can u be singers in the industry and have never heard of the House of the Rising Sun?
This was such an awesome reaction video. Thumbs up, I subscribed and thank you for posting!
“The House of the Rising Sun” is an old American folk song. Rock and roll was heavily inspired by Black American folk tunes, blues, and jazz. The British variant also had some Indian influence, due to their own history (look up the East India Trading Company if you’re bored and/or in quarantine).
This particular song was about (depending on your interpretation) a kid whose father frequented “The House of the Rising Sun,” a popular brothel in NOLA. Needless to say, he was likely born far out of wedlock. His mother had to survive as a tailor; and while he knew his father, he was absent, paying child support by gambling whenever he wasn’t on a drunk.
However, the main character himself fell into the latter of nature versus nurture. He went to the Rising Sun and impregnated a hooker. Since that meant she’d be fired, he eventually decided to “wear that ball and chain” and get on a train to New Orleans to provide for his accidental new family. It was a ruin of this poor boy, and God knows he’s one.
The Animals might have the most famous cover of this song, but there have been recorded versions forty years older, and I’m sure those weren’t by the composers.
After all these years I just realized that The House of the Rising Sun might be a metaphor for the the depressed states of mind and physical realities into which we place ourselves, but that there can be a choice to wallow in them or extricate ourselves from them.
A Brothel.
The Animals were from England from a city called Newcastle the lead singer was Eric Burdon who is now over 80 the keyboard 🎹 player was Alan Price who later went on to have a solo carrier but sadly he’s no longer with us I was 11yrs old when this song came out I remember one of my older sisters buying the record and playing it over and over again We all loved the Animals in our house even my dad a few more of ther songs were , Tabacco Road ,We’ve got to get out of this Place ,and Please don’t let me be misunderstood hope you react to those songs guys ,Love you guys big hugs 🤗 to the kids from your sister Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👍🤗😘XX
It was called The British Invasion back 8n the late 1950's into at least the next 2.5 decades. British young lads who formed these Bands/Groups loved you American Black Music History. A topic easily to reference. Unbelievably great music from Black musicians influenced so many great musicians from Great Britain, Rolling Stones, The Beatles to name a few. Your reactions to this song and Eric Burton and The Animals was so wonderful to see. Respect from 🇨🇦💕
So glad you found this landmark recording. Organ standout.
Imagine the impact in ,,, 1964.
The high quality vision is from the UK colour movie film Pop Gear filmed in 64 released in 65. US re titled as Go Go Mania.
No colour TV in UK in 64 and no audience in this.
Film gave the great image quality, but dubbed sound was what audiences wanted to be like the record. Simpler too.
Lots of Clips of Pop Gear on TH-cam with a search.
Some with Intro by dodgy TV UK host who when he died his family pulled the headstone down, such was his depravity.
“How did we not know about the Animals “, ? We just need to pay attention to all that are truly sending messages with their music. So many talented people that we live amongst!
Chris Chandler bass player became Jim Hendrix Manager started him off, keyboardPLAYER WAS Alan Price formed his own band .The Alan Price Set. Couple Hits in 1970,s The Jarrow Song ( About the Geordie Newcastle to you Yanks) March in the Great Strike/ depression.) and Simon Smith & His Amazing dancing Bear. The Animals Guitarist passed away last week his Rising Sun guitar Riff will last forever. Eric Burden is Still with us as is the Drummer . Ha,way the lads.
This wasn't pre-planned, it was a spur of the moment thing. They did it in one 23 minute take. It became one of their biggest hits.
The year I was born. The Animals recorded this in ONE TAKE, they were in studio half an hour and it cost £34 (about $42) They stole a wagon from the British transit to haul their equipment from the train to the studio in East London.😅
House of the Rising Sun is an old American folk song about a New Orleans brothel.
The Animals had many more hits, explore them online. YOU gotta hear When I Was Young!
If you like Jazz, type in "opening sequence to Walk on the Wild Side" on youtube. Best opening credits EVER! The best of the best in creative design, lighting, editing, camera work and choreography came together in this title and credits sequence that is likely better than the movie itself. Fabulous video along with Elmer Bernstein's fabulous soundtrack music, just awesome. Pay attention to the transitions as new views of the cat unfold. Crank up the volume, the video is 720 Hi Def.
Always remember guys, British bands and the 'invasion' of the states in the 60s, were reinterpreting black American music, whose musicians struggled to get airplay.
That is why the Stones Beatles, the who, Led Zepellin etc. all visit there heroes...when in the USA. e.g Muddy Waters , Bo Diddley etc
Great reaction Shawn and Mel. Shawn, you looked at times as though you couldn't quite believe what you were hearing. Mel, I don't recall seeing you react like this before. You seemed transfixed. As if transported to another plane of existence. I really sensed you needing to come up for air. Fantastic video you two. Quite possibly my favorite of yours to date. Best wishes, RNB
Please watch Deep Purple Child in Time live 1970...epic video to react to 😊 104m views so far...:)
This is an old American Folk song sung by a British group that absolutely OWNED it. Nobody will ever do it this well. I have heard a very old recording of a young girl in the Appalachian singing it in the early 1930's. She sang it in a bluegrass style - it sounded very haunting. The words change here and there with different versions. The House of The Rising Sun is a saloon with gambling and prostitution. In the song the singer inherited his father's gambling addiction and weakness for vices. The ending of the song is most striking "I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball & chain" - his addictions have overcome him again and he is a slave to them. Though he seems to hesitate on the platform, but he yields to his addictions and goes back. Eric Burdon's voice is like no other. His career was mismanaged. He had one of the best voices in pop music - ever. There is a tape of him on TH-cam singing "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" live. They sound great - his voice is recording quality on it. Look it up.
The Animals "Invaded" the US before The Beatles and we're, at the time, going to compete with The Beatles as The UK's best band. Turned out, The Beatles were not just the best band but many would say, the most influential group ever created. This song is incredible. The Doors had a similar vibe but as good as they were, this song I think is one of the 20 greatest of all time. The Animals never came close to this level again but did have several other hits. After The Beatles and Sabbath, they are next in my UK pecking order. Very, very cool band and are active to this day.
The flip side of the single was Paint It Black & is also outstanding. Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is another. The Animals are awesome. It's hard not to just list everything they did. Eric's voice & gut deep sound is great.
Or live"Spill the Wine" Eric Burden is magical!!!
Eric Burdon was the blackest Soul Singer a white english boy ever could be. ;-) Discover Songs he made with the band "War" there are two incredible albums out there.
3 - 17 - 21
The Animals were part of the awesome British invasion of good
Rock and Roll music
There's so many great music from the past that have been overlooked or simply forgotten about. Thanks to the internet though anyone can discover music from any decade and get lost in the rabbit hole. It's good to try new stuff and experiment with musical tastes.
Bass player pretty much discovered jimmy hendrix and brought him to the UK 🇬🇧
The song the animals sang was a rework of the original which was sang from the prospective of a woman who fell in love with a gambler, and her story was supposed to be a warning to other women not to follow her follies.
I always think of what the animals sang as from the view point of the child of the woman from the original, and how he had become just like his father, and was singing out the warning to others hoping someone breaks the chain
Eric Burden reminds me of the wild west gunslinger. Steely eyed calm just waiting to draw
He was a human built around an awesome voice!
Yes! PERFECTLY said! I remember hearing this song for the first, and I'm 69. Check out the studio version of 'Hey Gyp'. It came out in November of '69. The first time I heard it was the day I had my first McDonalds hamburger and fries. I gave them up about 45 years ago, but I will never lose my appetite for the Animals or Eric Burdon and War.
Prom so true
After doing more research on this song, I discovered that it was actually based on an old English song from the 18th and 19th century.
Part of the early 1960s BRITISH INVASION!✌🍁✌
My favorite song by them Bring on home. A fantastic song.
Eric Burdon, the lead singer, blew me away...I mean, he doesn't look like he's more than 19 or 20 years old, and to have a voice like that, and use it so effectively is just unbelievable. I agree with all the comments below, listen to their recommendations, you won't be disappointed !
What a powerful song for 1964. Eric is a singer.
They had so many problems of in fighting in the group and they split. Eric Burdon is still singing somewhere in America.
That bass player is Chas Chandler.Discovered and became the manager of Jimi Hendrix
I think even Billy Preston would be impressed with Prices playing. Brilliant.

Fleetwood Mac is not a UK band.
@@shellieeyre8758 Fleetwood Mac was formed in London in 1967. Mick Fleetwood, John & Christine McVie, Bob Brunning, Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Bob Weston & Danny Kirwin are all British, Bob Welch, Stevie Nicks and LIndsey Buckingham are American. There are various others that have come and gone. All the Americans joined in the 70's or later. So yes it was a British band originally so we claim it.
I like how you two are really perceptive and open to good music, this is a very old folk song over a hundred years old. The Animals had a lot of big hits in the mid-sixties.
YEP---1850's.
You two might be my new favorites. 🙏🏽❤️✌️
A house of sin prostitution drugs booze. A wasted life of a young man a sad song mother’s tell your children not to do what I have done. Waste their lives as I have done
Oh yes you for sure have to hear more of them. Yes UK group.
They have so many hits
One of my all time favourite songs. Glad you liked it. Check out their other hit - "We gotta get outta this place".
This song is an American folk song from an unknown artist in 1930. During the 50's and 60's blues and folk was losing popularity in the states for motown and R&B. But it was still played on american GI bases in europe. People in Britain never heard it before and loved it. It spoke to the working classes, particularly in the north of England where the animals are from (Durham). The communities there at the time were facing serious massive coal mine layoffs and poverty. Blues from the states spoke to them and they treated it almost like a religion. The animals did a really good cover of this folk song.
eric burden was the singer with the "animals", check out eric burden with "war".
I grew up listening to the Animals. I’m 68. They were from the UK, yes. Eric, the lead singer, just turned 80. Just look up The Animals, I don’t think they ever recorded a bad song. Listen to “Please don’t let me be miss understood” or “I gotta get out of this place” just to name a few. This song was about prostitution, alcohol & gambling. The house itself was called Rising Sun because come sunlight in the morning everyone had to clear out.
Dont let me be misunderstood
Its my life
Help me girl
San Franciscan nights
A girl named Sandoz
Eric Burdon with WAR - spill the wine and magic mountian
I agree. Dont forget Monterey!
There is *not one* song of the Animals that is not awesome. Hear it all, know it all. *GOD BLESS*
Eric Burdon was hot!
I still don't understand how people haven't heard this song before. It's legendary. Had a huge song Vietnam era, We gotta get out of this place
Their lead singer's name is Eric Burdon and he was 23 at the time when the song was released (in 1964)! the 2 guitarists have passed away unfortunately! however his voice is One of A Kind.....is just AWESOME!
The lead singer went on to front the band War for their first few albums. The other big Animals' songs are:
We Gotta Get Out of This Place
It's My Life
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Don't Bring Me Down
...and quite a few others.
This song is old and was originally written from a female perspective about a young girl getting sweet-talked by a man into leaving home, only to end up supporting his drinking and gambling ways by working in a house of prostitution--The House of the Rising Sun--where she "wears the ball and chain" as the song says. Thought you'd like to know.
