I did NOT know Eric Burdon from the funk band War was the lead singer of The Animals! I guess you learn something new everyday. Also, I've never listened to an Animals song before
I'm jamming like crazy to this song right now
What other songs should I check out from The Animals? | |

How about this 14 minute funk jam. Kinda makes Bruno Mars look like an idiot.

Michael Hutchence did a really excellent funked up version of this track as well, with Spanish narration by Sheila E.!!

Andy Summers from The Police was also a member of The Animals for a brief period. He mentions this in his autobiography. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Okay - here's another (!) bit of trivia for you. Back in the late 60's, Judy Garland's last husband was a night club owner named Mickey Deans. He was close friends with Mr. Burdon and Deans wrote in a biography about Judy published after her death, that he and Burdon were producing Judy Garland to record and release her version of "House of the Rising Sun"... in a style much like what The Animals had done, but with an even bluesier sound. Unlike anything Judy had ever done at the time, it was planned to be another comeback of sorts for Ms. Garland. It is interesting that The Animals broke up in 1969, the year that Garland died in London. The song is actually from the 1930's - and is one of those without a definite origin. Many versions have been recorded - including those by Nina Simone, Joan Baez, Miriam Makeba, Andy Griffith, and Dolly Parton. It sends shivers down my spine to think that a Judy Garland "House of the Rising Sun" exists in someone's vault waiting to see the light of day. | |
