My father's soul duo Eddie and Ernie (my dad was Eddie) who's fans consist of David Bowie and Lou Reed, had a song called "Outcast". The song was written by my father and was released in 1965 on Capitol Records. The song is included on Eddie and Ernie's compilation from 2002 on Ace Records. Anyway, my dad's song "Outcast" was also covered by The Animals. The band had Eric Burdon, Alan Price and Chas Chandler. It's on their album "Animalism" from 1966. It was their last album with the original members. Later that year, Chas discovered a certain guitarist named Hendrix. Just sharing some info with you all.

Very cool! I love The Animals. Great to see your dad's song covered by them.

Did they give him songwriting credit though?

Have to scope this one out Black...

Cool connection.

Go on the internet, type in Eddie and Ernie "Outcast". It'll take u web results and choose Ace Records. On there, there is an article about The Animals covering my dad's song.

blackguitaristz said:

Ok I will.

TheRealFiness said:

At times, it is. My dad's group were big in Europe, especially England. So, I'm not surprised about a British band covering one of his songs. Like TA posted, I like the Hendrix connection.

Hey Spyz!

Right here, dawg!

That's really cool B! I'm so glad to hear that Mom B has royalty checks coming thru. I'm gonna hit google now and check it out!

Thanx, spyz. I knew u could dig it!

Falling Tears (Indian Drums) form the snippet i heard sounds great.

Wow BG. That is cool! Now I have to google this as well. I think the group sounds vaguely familiar. Their peak was before my time so I will have to look it up on the internet.

(Sorry I couldn't find your thread at first)

So BG in what way did your dad influenced you in pursuing a musical career?

(picture me holding the microphone during our interview... I was an intern reporter for a tv station in my former life. That is why I am so inquisitive. I can't help it. )

Good question, Kris. I started messing around on the guitar when I was 5. I started playing around on the drums when I was 8. My mother and my father both are/were musical. My dad played guitar and bass. My mother plays piano, clarinet and violin. So, I grew up with music very much in the house. I'll go to the studios with my dad when I was little, so I saw the recording process young.

Thanx! It's ironic that u should mention that song. That song was also covered by another rock band from the early 70's. 1974 I believe. Anyway, I used to have the album when I was little, but I don't know what happened to it. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the band who covered "Falling Tears (Indian Drums). Sounds like a Hendrix title, doesn't it? I have searched high and low for that album in vintage records store, cuz when I see it, I'll know it. But, I nor my mother can't remember the name of the band.

Yo Black.. check out this site: http://www.soulwalking.co...spect.html

About halfway down it has a cool bio on your Pops music. My father is a HUGE influence on my playing and taste. Im sure its the same for you. This is good stuff man.

Actually, u need to type go to that website and then type in "Eddie and Ernie" under next to "find any word" and then it will bring up the proper Eddie and Ernie page. There, it mentions my mother and me as well.

blackguitaristz said:
