This song knocked the Beatles out of the no 1 spot in the top 40 for the first time in 1964. It was no 1 for more than a month. Eric Burdon the lead singer had a great voice. The Animals were very big for the next few years with many great songs

[@ABtheKreator]

Uh ohhhhh 👀👀👀👀🤫🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dagmar.6954]

Eric Burdon & The Animals were part of the British Invasion in the 60's along with the Beatles & others. People were always shocked at the deep voice coming out of the lead singer. They had so many great songs such as "The House of the Rising Sun", "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "I'm Crying", "See See Rider", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, "San Franciscan Nights", "When I Was Young" & "Sky Pilot".

[@artbagley1406]

One of many British musical groups who reinvigorated classic Black blues, which had found more appreciative audiences in England and Europe between the 1930s and 1960s. The Brits ELECTRIFIED THE BLUES and shipped all these groups to America where the old became the new again. John Mayall, Led Zeppelin, Paul Revere and the Raiders, all those groups breathed new life into the Blues classics, with a more strident and animated timbre -- and they've won over every generation since the 1960!

[@philipem1000]

This was an extremely big hit and the Animals were not quite as famous as the Beatles but they were big. And they had SOUL.

[@finallythere100]

Not sure reactor gets it, reaction is not very relevant for such a profound group and song.

[@scotttrainer9704]

The base player discovered Jimi Hendrix and introduced him to people who gave him his big break.

[@lindapowers8592]

It’s an organ and this is a classic performance on a set and cameras panned around shadowed them in the set. The Animal were sharp in those suits and very popular.

[@ffjsb]

The reason that they're walking around is that they're imitating a New Orleans Jazz funeral march, kinda inferring that he's a dead man walking. This may have come from an old folk song, but The Animals infused a heavy Blues vibe into the song.

[@bryanCJC2105]

These boys from England are one of the great Rock & Roll bands! Part of the British Invasion!! "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "We Got To Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life"

[@reneebush2399]

Not everyone can take an old folk song about a house of ill repute/vices like and turn it into something like this. Great reaction btw.

[@jeffk.9075]

Their bassist was responsible for signing Jimi Hendrix. Burdon was one of Jimi's best friends and was the one that found him after he passed.

[@alleycat616]

I didn’t realize it was possible for someone to come this far in life without ever hearing this song lol. Love your reactions keep it up

[@ABtheKreator]

Haha first time man but this is good

[@nate9696]

a bunch of good covers too that song too.

[@kathymcguire8287]

Misunderstood is a awesome song. They were well ahead of their time!

[@richardgodwin1082]

Check out "don't let me be misunderstood" as well by the animals

[@sometimeslyrical]

Yes, the organ was on a wheeled platform and moved to have it and keyboardist Alan Price in the foreground for the closing shot. While the others maintained serious faces, the guitar player behind the lead singer couldn't help grinning at the move being made. The song was made in one take in studio, and this scenario was lip-synced to that recording. And that's really Eric Burdon's voice. Incredible singer.

[@willowb1527]

The lead singer Eric Burdon joined another great group War and they have a cool song called Spill the wine. ❤️♥️ The drums are so intoxicating.

[@knew3355]

Yes! The live version is so good, no doubt Eric Burdon had been partaking in something just prior.

[@kkspencer8376]

This song was #1 on the Billboard charts on the day I was born. I grew up listening to it ... lol

[@JasonDashnaw]

Great song this is what you call taking it back to the basics no extras just musicians with instruments and vocals. I think they did this video on one Take because of lack of funding.Going to be a Great video✊🏼✌🏼💯

[@cerescop]

in the same time period. It was them the Dave Clark Five and the beetles , and Herman's Hermits, The Beach Boys..... and the beat goes on. WE HAD TUNES....

[@bernicemoore5182]

The Animals were better because they had a harder edgier sound and definitely set apart from Herman's hermits and the beach boys, whose sound was more sugar-coated.

[@crsounddoctor4937]

The Animals are truly musical Beasts!!!!

[@theirishslyeyes]

This is one of my all time favorite songs!! I was thinking the other day, too - if you're not familiar with Billy Joel, I think you'd really enjoy checking his stuff out - I'd recommend starting with, "Uptown Girl", "We Didn't Start The Fire", and "Piano Man"!

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

I'm 75 years old and I still love this song. It is so gratifying to watch someone enjoy a song that I love too. Thank you for a great video AND channel. Peace! I collected some data about this song that people are asking, so I thought I'd share it here. _"The House of the Rising Sun" is a traditional folk song, sometimes called Rising Sun Blues."_ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun _Electronic Organ: _Alan Price played a Vox Continental_ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Continental _"The Animals (also billed as Eric Burdon and the Animals) are an English rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s."_ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animals

[@debbers]

I've loved this song since it first came out in 1964! They were part of the British Invasion! I loved your reaction!

[@debbiethomasson2709]

Eric Burdon... 23, looking 17, and sounding 55. Check out the group War, with Eric out front again.

[@stephanietip]

Omfg,I am so old it freaks me out when people haven't heard of a song I have loved for so many years.Thats an organ.Amd oddly enough,the key colors are reversed

[@naturesounds-ib5dh]

Eric Burdon & War: Spill the Wine

[@captainnolan5062]

Reception. "House of the Rising Sun" was a trans-Atlantic hit: after reaching the top of the UK pop singles chart in July 1964, it topped the US pop singles chart two months later, on September 5, 1964, where it stayed for three weeks.

[@stanrock2225]

E. B. could flat out sing.

[@timbillings6884]

The house of the rising sun was a bordello down in new orleans !!!

[@timothymunger3186]

The Brittish invasion brought old blues music back to the U.S. in a new way. You should check out the Yardbirds and the Bluesbreakers. The way rock music broke open in the mid 1960's is astounding.

[@wolaffarms6766]

Love this song and video. Dude doesn't look it but has that end of the world voice.

[@joanmcgrath280]

Electric organ is the instrument prevalent in a lot of sixties and seventies music

[@ABtheKreator]

Ohhh ok appreciate that Joan 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@beverlysager3658]

Recently watched a documentary on this song and learned it had been around in various forms for centuries before this. The Animals put the song into a triplet rhythm which played a huge role in their success with it. I was 11 yrs old when this hit the charts and have loved it and sung it ever since! PS: The organ was the keyboard/synthesizer of that era; it often had more than one "voice."

[@sarita423]

The video was done in 1965 for a film, but the recording that they are lipsynching to was recorded in one take. It took about 20 minutes and at just over 4 minutes, was one of, if not the longest playing single at the time. It was frequently cut down to 3 minutes for radio play. They were on tour with Chuck Berry at the time with a bunch of other Brit bands and chose this song (which they basically rewrote) because as Eric Burdon said, everyone was trying to out rock Chuck Berry. It's also considered by some to be the first fold rock song and supposedly inspired Bob Dylan (who recording the song in its traditional setting in '63) to go electric The Animlas are one of those extremely influential bands that no one has heard of. They influenced the Doors among others and Bruce Springsteen credits them with getting him started saying that every song he ever wrote was "We've Got to Get Out of this Place. .

[@carolyndesrosiers6718]

i love this video! He is singing with everything he's got. But he looks relaxed! Smooth!

[@79BlackRose]

He is lip-synching with everything he's got, lol.

[@michaelbarnes4403]

when Eric Burdon went out on his own and did a song called Spill the Wine.. great song, he put together a great bunch of musicians to back him for this song and after he left they became War.

[@islandgreenstrong]

A song and group I can get into now. This song actually goes as far back as the 1930s and it's considered a "traditional folk song". The animals recording is considered the first "folk rock hit". The Animals released this in the UK in June of 1963 when The Beatles were already a big hit. The Beatles came to America in February of 1964. This song didn't hit America until August of 1964. Other great songs to listen to are "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", among others.

[@akita21154]

Absolutely loved it when it 1st came out & still love. Actually it's a organ, great sound when someone is talented & he is. My fav is the lg church organ, talk about great sound. There's nothing like it for me. 😇✌🖖

[@dawnglidden9384]

Another Best song 👍👍👍One of my Favs!

[@donnaewe3692]

I have to say, I totally dig ur reactions AB, ya got a way of turning my frowns upside down 😊 Thanks for what you do & how you do it! Angel orange juice level love ❤ comin your way!!

[@dawnglidden9384]

It is still one of my favorites song

[@lesliebooth2833]

This was an “old” song when I was coming up in the 70s but it was the absolute GO-TO to learn licks on the guitar for EVERY up-and-coming player!! I’m pretty sure “this” was what Austin Powers was modeled from! Great reaction to the organ!

[@debihill6333]

Eric and the Animals did a sound check in the studio with the first little bit of this song, then recorded it, one take! and that is the truly awesome song we know and love today!

[@gordonhaire9206]

I was 21 years old getting dressed to work at a shipyard. This came on the radio, and I froze. I was entranced. Wow! What the f**k was that!?!

[@lechatel]

Lind of poetic as Eric Burdon was brought up and went to school near the shipyards of Newcastle.

[@amym571]

Eric Burdon has the coolest voice, also I think When I was young which was a bit later was good but by far my favorite song of his is Good Times. This was the intro of folk-rock and he is well known for his blues/rock sound. Also the song I'm an Animal is great and reminds me of Devo!!

[@sandykeith4236]

Best of the best !!

[@eldronjaedike9374]

The last shot was the band lined up behind the electric organ, with the drummer's reflection shown in a mirror

[@ABtheKreator]

👀👀👀

[@Frostrazor]

Fantastic song. One of my all time faves from that era! That's a blues/rock fusion from the 60s. I can't hear this song without thinking of the movie Casino. Still haunting all these years later hearing this song while all those guys getting whacked one by one.

[@757optim]

Eric and the Animals were a big part of the musical tapestry of that era.

[@darrellduckworth1138]

the electric organ is the keyboard instrument, and if you enjoyed this, plz check out "Dion" - the wanderer, or runaround sue. you won't regret it

[@ZacCostilla]

Once the band broke up, the bass player, Chaz Chandler, wanted to get I to managing musicians and production. He discovered a guy who had made a name for himself touring the south (the “chitlin’ circuit) but wanted to go out on his own. That guy’s name was James Hendrix, and he was playing in a group in New York City under the name “Jammy James and the Blue Flames”. Chaz convinced him to drop the group and go with him to London. He changed his stage name to Jimi Hendrix, found a great jazz drummer named Mitch Mitchell, and hired a guitarist named Noel Redding to play bass, and thus, The Jimi Hendrix Experience was born.

[@SaltyPirate71]

He's playing a Vox Continental organ and also used a Hammond on stage switching between a B3 and A3 at times. Alan Price made the Vox Continental, or "Connie", famous when he used it in the studio for this track and toured with it because it had only been on the market for a year and a half and wasn't well known. It is half the size of the superior sounding Hammonds and Wurlitzers and close enough in sound quality that keyboardists would chose to tour with the more compact Vox.

[@masonsteele1674]

Good music doesn't get old. 😉

[@v3xerAVA]

you do so many reactions where im like "How has he not heard of this before" lol

[@georgeralph8031]

And that folks, is what an orange top Vox Continental V301J organ with English wooden keys and custom shortened valve stops sounds like.

[@ABtheKreator]

👀🙌🏾🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kitharley6159]

The keyboard instrument is in this (and many other 60's songs) is the classic Hammond organ.

[@debbiefabro887]

They did this in one take at spur of the moment. No auto tune.

[@klawler4523]

Gosh,I must be old as dirt to know this song.

[@kkspencer8376]

The synthesizer was a great thing in the 60s. It was small but belted out like a pipe organ. Its on wheels.

[@theresareynolds3133]

What you thought might be a piano is actually an organ I believe. The had so many great hits, I'd say even possibly a little more popular then the Beatles.

[@runyunhyde4373]

I believe it's an organ not a piano that he is playing

[@deborahpetitpas2332]

Damn, I forgot just how great The Animals were. Blew The Beatles out of the water.

[@goranforsberg639]

We had lots of groups in the 60.s the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and a host of other number One rock groups and Animals was in the top.

[@r.e.ritchard6901]

The keyboard is not a piano. It is a VOX Continental electronic organ. The "walking" of the band members is reminiscent of a funeral procession in New Orleans. The band is "pretending" to play their instruments; and the lead singer, Eric Burdon (who is still around at age 81 and still performs), is lip synching to their original recording, which, by the way, was done in one take at a studio in London when they were on the road performing with Chuck Berry. This video is part of a film about the British invasion. And yes, the organ was hurriedly moved, along with Alan Price, the organist, which also explains the huge smile on guitarist Hilton Valentine's face. He was cracking up over them moving the organ while still filming a close-up of Eric being followed by Valentine and bassist Chas Chandler (who "discovered" Jimi Hendrix and managed him after the Animals broke up after a few years due to poor management and some internal strife). This has become the "definitive" version of the song, although many other artists have performed and recorded it, including Lead Belly, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, and many others. The original version of the song (and hence, it's lyrics) was sung from a woman's perspective. It is a very old folk song and is based on a song that goes back many centuries. No one really knows it's absolute conception or who created/wrote it.

[@paulacornelison243]

This was from the Ed Sullivan Show. It was a variety Show from the sixties.

[@christophersmith2793]

The reference to this amazing song The House Of The Rising Sun was a brothel and gambling house !

[@alexandermacphearson4379]

Always been one of my favorite songs! It’s my Karaoke go-to. So amazing

[@alexandermacphearson4379]

I believe the piano like instrument is an electronic Vox Organ

[@edithdavis2848]

Loved this group and this song. Organ not piano. They hit the top of the charts.

[@deniseriley6622]

Eric Burden was also a member of the band War. " Spill The Wine " is a good one by them. I was a Casino Shift Manager for years. I was over Table Games and Slots. Small world A.B.

[@lechatel]

This song (HOTRS) was used for the final scene of the movie 'Casino' starring de Niro. etc

[@douglasmason2050]

You're the very first person to notice where the organ was at the beginning and the end I have watched a lot of people watch this video you're the only one to notice the organ thank you add have a great day

[@sharonpate5481]

I would request “San Francisco Nights” by Eric Burden and the Animals ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼 Another great one is “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”

[@tomatolady11]

Leave it to Beaver meets Hip Hop!! Cracks me up. Yes he does resemble Jerry Mathers. They don't look like they sound, do they. Was a big fan in the 60's.

[@Maple837]

Definitely a timeless song..!

[@brucelanders3258]

The Righteous Brothers were supposed to record this song, but their manager said no. So it was recorded by Eric Berden and the animals. By the way that is an electric organ.

[@lechatel]

Nope lol This is the way misinformation starts. This song has zero to do with the Righteous Brothers. You are confusing it with We Gotta get out of this Place. Which was pitched at The Brothers and they didn't bite. The Animals' producer found it in the studio and passed it on to The Animals who jigged that song around and di their magic. But House of the Rising Sun was basically a folk song Eric heard in a pub and loved and then they put this into an electric vibe.

[@raenellefisher8514]

We didn't really have the visuals of music figured out in 1964. Nothing Brady Bunch or Austin Powers about these working class singers.

[@Maple837]

🎉 Congrats on 28K

Thank you 🙏🏾

Organs were used a lot in the 60s with some great sounds. The Hammond B3 model was especially favored and coupled with Leslie speakers. Check out the Spencer Davis Group - Steve Winwood.

[@Dej24601]

[Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one [Verse 1] My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans [Verse 2] Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he'll be satisfied Is when he's all drunk [Verse 3] Oh, mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun [Verse 4] Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain [Chorus] Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one

[@michaelernst3731]

The Lead Singer walked around behind the Electrotonic Organ to bring him to the spotlight at the Front so he could show off. You can also see Ray Charles play this in the movie The Blues Brothers.

[@toodlescae]

I love that organ solo.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

That guy is playing a keyboard that was a popular sound of the time. I think they call it a Moog now. Basically it’s an electric organ.

😉 So great song that even my piano cover sounds good!! 🎹

Since you like Frank Sinatra maybe check out some of his daughter Nancy's songs. These Boots are Made for Walking is a good one. Think it came out in 1966 or 67? Anyway I'm glad you're checking out these older groups.

Few people note that it is the prison walk they are doing, where the guards show off the "new meat" to the population. More than one line suggest he is going to prison.

[@bethanyp8847]

Well, you just squeaked in there with the ‘old’ range! Absolutely love the imagery of Brady Bunch meets SNL! Hahaha!! Amazing! We had questions about the piano as well, how it got to the front. They were contemporaries of The Beetles, so possibly competed with, but that was way before my time! Enjoyed your reaction, as always! 😁
