    As someone who was at school in 1964, I can promise you that even this hair was slightly longer than the cut approved by authority. The lead singer clearly has hair hanging down in front of his ears, and they are not showing enough forehead. "Get that trimmed, boy!"

    That's why it's called "Classic Rock".The bassist, after he left the band brought an unknown Jimi Hendrix back to England with him and the rest is history.

    Eric Burdon, the singer, had what I believe the military call the 1000 yard stare. A soldier could get it from having seen too much and having gone through too much. That's why you thought he was looking through your soul.

    Singer for The Animals is Eric Burdon, then 23 years old boyish young man with deep soulful voice from UK. Besides singing for The Animals, he sang for Funk band called War. At 83 years old, Eric continues to perform today.

      @@MrTech226 Alan Price, the Organist for The Animals had to drop out of the Group due to his fear of flying. I don’t believe he was ever replaced. soon after, lead singer Eric Burden assumed leadership of the group now known as Eric Burden and The Animals. Eric was very impressed with the vast array of new talent that became household names after appearing at the Monterey Pop festival in 1965, organized by The Mamas & The Papas. Big Brother & The Holding Company, with Janis Joplin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Buffalo Springfield & Otis Redding, all made their first major live performances in Monterey. This clip of the Animals is an excerpt from a British theatrical release titled “Top Gear” which consisted of young British Invasion era lip-synched performances. This was at a time when most of the videos were recorded in black & white. I saw it once on American TV during the 1970’s, but have never seen it since. The gimmick of having Eric walk around the set followed by the lead guitarist and bassist betrays very quickly the fact that those instruments weren’t connected to any type of amplifiers, so they would not be heard by the audience. In most TV programs of the time, the band performances were lip-synced, but were not as obvious because the bands were set up to look like a normal performance. Most band members tried to look serious during these performances, but were often seen giggling during their performances.

    Young Lady, in the 60's and 70's groups and individual artists were moving away from the conventional sounds and experimenting with the new electronic instruments and recording methods. Everyone wanted their own sound and look. The looks really didn't vary that much because most followed the latest fashions, but the sounds being produced were another story. The electric guitar was becoming more than simply a guitar with sound amplification, artists were learning to make all kinds of sounds and riffs with their new toy. Plus in this song you hear the electric keyboard, another instrument that became a major part of the era. Then you have to pay attention to the lyrics, a lot of the writers and singers were heavily influenced by philosophy, poetry and folk music. In other words, they had a story they wanted to tell whether it was their own or simply a lesson they were trying to convey.

    FUN FACT:
    No one knows who wrote “House of the Rising Sun”.
    Because Eric Burdon and the Animals had such a massive hit with their recording of this song back in 1964, most people assume Eric Burdon wrote it. Fact is, no one knows who wrote it.
    Musicologists have tried to track down its origins but it's so old that its origins are lost in the murky mists of time. It may even go back all the way to 17th century England in a form that became known as "Broadside Ballads." If it did originate in England then it probably came to America via some ocean-going traveler who may have sung it here in the U.S. and then others picked it up and it slowly got passed around. Also, if it did originate in England, then someone had to have changed the location of the brothel from its location in England to New Orleans, probably to make the song more relevant to American audiences. That is all speculation, obviously, since no one knows for sure what the original lyrics were in that particular verse.
    Another interesting thing about the song is that in some versions it's about a man lamenting his experience in the brothel while in other versions it's a woman telling of her trials and tribulations at the brothel. I first heard it by folk singer, Joan Baez, a year or two before the Animals' released their version. In the Animals version the narrator is a man. In the Baez version the narrator is a woman.
    There is also a version of the song by the legendary folk singer, Huddie (Leadbelly) Leadbetter, that is so different (both melodically and lyrically) that it's barely recognizable as the same song.
    Another early rendition of the song was by Bob Dylan about 3 years before the Animals released their hit version. The oft-told story about Dylan "stealing" the song from folk/blues singer, Dave Van Ronk, is sort of true but also sort of not true. The "sort of true" part is that Dylan did first hear the song being performed by Van Ronk who wanted to record it. But Dylan included it on his own debut album (released in 1962) before Van Ronk got a chance to record it. The "sort of not true" part is that no one "owns" that song so you can't "steal" something that is not owned by anyone. And, as far as I'm aware, no one really knows where Van Ronk heard the song in the first place.
    Back in the '60s, a plethora of folk singers were all hanging around in coffee houses in New York's East Village where traditional folk songs were passed around and performed by anyone who wanted to sing them. People didn't have cell phones back then so there was no way to record a song on the spot. So, if some traveling folk-singer happened to hear a song somewhere and then moved on to another town and sang the song for another audience, the singer might not remember exactly how the lyrics went and would just make up new lyrics to fill in for the lyrics that he/she couldn't remember. This happened for decades (even hundreds of years in some cases) and that's why there are so many versions of old folk songs. Musicologists sometimes refer to this borrowing, changing, and adapting of a song as "the folk process".

    I loved the Animals, Eric Burdon was one of the great front men ever, he was looked up to by the great singers of the day. They have a sound all their own and were part of the British Invasion of 1964. For more, try We Gotta Get Out of This Place, another banger from a band with a bunch of them. Enjoy!

You mentioned your heritage is East European and Grai combines Russian folk music with heavy metal. Don't know if you're familiar with them but their song "In The Arms of Mara" might make a good reaction video. Best of luck.

    Long hair on males in rock music really didn't become a thing until the late 60's, around 67-69, aka the psychedelic rock era. And in my opinion, the best of that era was Iron Butterfly with In-A-Godda-Da-Vida.

    The song was first mentioned in the “Louisiana Gazette” in New Orleans in 1821, where an advertisement appeared for the Rising Sun Hotel. The House of the Rising Sun is considered by many to resemble “The Unfortunate Rake”, which is a folk song from the 16th century.The only member of the band to get Royalties for this song was Alan Price The Animals Keyboardist and band manager.The rest of the band not happy.I hope they got it sorted out.Cheers and all the best from England.

    In itself the song is lost in time when its true origins are. The clearest thing is that there was a brothel called Rising Sun back in the 1800s, and that there are many versions of it, the most appropriate one is that it seems to be from a woman's perspective.

The organist became a successful solo artist, also in those days there were few guitarists around...essentially, if the owned a guitar they were in the band...this was why throughout the 60's & 70's guitarists were never long in a band before the were replaced from the early 70's things settled with led zep, Sabbath & Purple.
