[@RazzleDazz72]

I love how his voice stuns all the reactors. One of the greats.

[@lewisner]

Top 3 with Robert Plant and Paul Rodgers.

[@adchancellor1380]

Yeah. They all say pretty much the same thing about his voice. Everyone is impressed with his voice, and, the organ. 👍

[@marktrail8624]

And usually comment at nice sounding guitar chords, especially at the beginning.

[@fkessler53]

It’s why I’ve watched so many reactions to this song. It’s awesome to see someone hear it for the first time.

[@davy_K]

Big guy on bass discovered Hendrix and brought him to the UK.

[@candywilliams3533]

The (then) 23 year old singer, Eric Burdon grew up in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. He said that his early life and experiences at school were like a 'nightmare' for various reasons, and that between the air pollution and humidity in the town he suffered asthma attacks daily. Maybe that accounts for his raspy voice and wise-beyond-his-years persona. Thanks for playing this. It's a rock classic.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Definitely seems way beyond his years. Reminds me of Janis joplin in that way.❤️✌️

[@lewisner]

I was born in the North East and I can confirm that. We had a coal power station in the centre of my home town and factories spewing fumes everywhere. Thatcher got rid of all the industry of course.

[@stevevaughn3266]

Not a song, a hymn

[@pmurpy061]

Humidity in northern England lol

[@pmurpy061]

Humidity in northern England lol

[@Canuck13]

1965. I was ten when this came out. No auto tune back then, just pure talent!

[@daren7889]

Me too! House of the Rising Son was one of my very first 45's! We grew up in a great time in the 1960-70's! 🤗🥰🤗🇩🇪🇨🇭🇺🇲💙🌊

[@rickncam3]

My birthday is in December, so I bet you are old ahhh,,, hmmmm... -er. Fewer and fewer of us around. Wonderful age to have grown up in Canada. Many memories and freedoms kids today will never know. Enjoyments with simplicity. Possibly, in my opinion, the happiest generation in my life span so far... but that could change since I plan to be around for a few more years. Maybe not until 2055, but close.

[@marktrail8624]

'64

[@NondescriptMammal]

This is one of those songs that's so old that nobody knows where it first came from... but it dates back at least a hundred years

[@johnmaynardable]

Eric Burdon is a remarkable singer. This song is a cover of a legendary folk/blues song.

[@missgmoma]

Awesome reaction! Eric was 23 when he sang this although he looked younger & his vocals sounded older. ❤

[@bigpants6121]

nowadays we have boy bands who have voices no louder than a mouse!

[@missgmoma]

@@bigpants6121 Lol! That’s a good one 😉

[@jenniferblake3296]

​@@bigpants6121 and sound like girls.

[@bigpants6121]

Burden, Lennon, Tom Jones, Stubbs, Pendergrass. We were spoilt back then!@@jenniferblake3296

[@martinford2475]

He goes from raspy to harmonious seamlessly, and plays with the transition, truly amazing

[@Canuck13]

1965. I was ten years old. No auto tune back then. Just raw talent!

[@ukdnbmarsh]

he isnt even trying, those vocals are just exploding outwards, and that organ dayummmmmm

[@129robertp]

Eric Burdon---The legend. Wow. Love the Animals then (early teens) and now.

[@nagranoth_]

Not only was it live, they only had the money to rent the studio for this one single recording.... and somehow they had the balls to move the keyboard during recording so he'd be the last thing you see coming into shot during the ending... he was next to the drums the entire song, except the ending.

[@imaginemyshock8067]

What I notice about Eric Burdon, aside from his remarkable voice, is the '1000 yard stare' he has, like some military people get when they've been through too much and seen too many things they wish they had never seen that have marked them forever. When he looks at the camera he looks both at it, and he looks straight through it to something only he can see.

[@alantaylor2217]

I was 15 when this was released. Still one of my favourite songs.

[@deanakeefer1798]

We had so many great groups and singers back then. There is NO ONE today who can sing like they did back then.

[@Emma-og2jt]

He is still singing. Check him out. Loved him in the 60's when I was a teenager.

[@michaelholt7994]

I find it amazing that so many black peoplec love his voice and this song, from different countries,something resonates with you guys,but it great.

[@katsmith4268]

There's something hypnotic about this song, my 3 year old grandson loves it. Timeless

[@theneverenderreacts]

I think it's the melody they use and that amazing voice!!!

[@debbers]

You should make this your theme song! You seem to love it so much, that would be a great honor for the Animals and for you!

[@buchholtzmathieu1810]

Thanks a lot. For me it's the best and most bewitching version of that very old traditionel folk song covered by the greatest artists. (Bob Dylan, Marianne Faithfull, Nina Simone, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Frijid Pink, Dolly Parton, etc.). A huge impressive masterpiece. Every time, I'm watching a reaction to this track with crazy Eric Burdon's vocals, , I'm floating in the same mesmerizing seventh heaven. Never get fed up listening to it. As always, love your so touching reaction.

[@sharendonnelly7770]

House of the Rising Sun is a classic, loved it when it came out in "64. Yes, was there when it debuted. Music in its real, human expression and excellence.

[@suzie4417]

One of my favorite bands from the 60’s, I was a teen when this first came out 1964 & I have loved Eric Burdon & The Animals ever since ! They have a huge catalogue of songs & Eric eventually joined a band called War & had great success as well. You need to listen to more of their songs to truly understand what music was like back then & it only got better 😻❤️‍🔥☮️ Thanks for reacting to this fantastic band & just to let you know Eric Burdon now in his 80’s still performs !!! 🥰

[@TomFurr-uc1hj]

Coming from a 66 year old white man this kid has a lot of soul for a 23 year old white kid.

[@anitahargreaves9526]

What makes me smile, at end whilst everyone solemn, the guitarist behind Eric, happy as anything. Gleeful.

[@JaneReRe]

You gotta dig the sound of that vintage keyboard. His voice. Soundtrack of my childhood. ✌️

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

This is an absolute classic! No autotune in them days, just pure talent!

[@veggiesaremurder]

He's soooo young when he recorded this as well. Such soul, such an effortless vocal talent.

[@katsmith4268]

I love seeing people react to this song. Absolute classic ❤

[@gingersnaptrack9337]

I am addicted to watching reaction videos to songs. Eric Burdon is one of the greats.

[@jimbennett8036]

The Animals put out some really good songs. My personal favorite was "Sky Pilot". On that song it gets to a point that seems like the climax then starts trailing off and you think it is ending. Then it comes back in soft and slow with an orchestra. Then it builds up again.

[@kennethohnemus3192]

Make sure it's the long version. It's even more intense

[@Sonia-tf4og]

Great reaction!!! Love this song 🥰 I was glad to see that you enjoyed it a lot. I know her when I was little, my father had many cassettes with songs of this style. I'm using the translator, I hope it's understood... Other suggestions from those times: - “Reflections of my life” (1967) of Marmalade -"Silence is golden"(1967) of Tremeloes -"A whiter shade of pale" (1967) of Procol Harum -"Young girl" of (60´s) of Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - "California dreaming" of The mamas & the papas Enjoy! ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!

[@judythompson8227]

I never weary of this song, the singers, and the reactions of the listeners...

[@NormanHarrison-ro7kq]

The bass player, Chas Chandler was the man who discovered and promoted Jimi Hendrix

[@steviehope7718]

Wow never knew that

[@sonashea6130]

i love how much you love this! This song gives me shivers no matter how often I hear it.

[@randallkarlin4115]

Eric Burden and the animals had some very meaningful songs. White houses, when I was young, sky pilot, San Franciscon nights, it’s my life there’s many more but these are off the top of my head. All amazing songs and the lyrics are very deep.

[@vipergtsmre]

Great song, and Hilton (guitar) was a great dude. I was lucky enough to have talked with him many times, in his later years.

[@walterfleury3840]

Wanna be even more blown away. This song was recorded in ONE TAKE. They went into the studio, played it, perfect first shot,

[@antonioeasypiano]

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

[@SIXX2772]

Ahhh...You found this one, right on my man!!

[@theneverenderreacts]

thank you bro!!

[@artbagley1406]

It's a cautionary tale, "Mothers, tell your children not to do what I have done ... ," what NOT to do in your life, to avoid the pitfalls and lures of the sordid life. To my brain, the most poignant line in the lyrics: "Well, I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. I'm goin' back to New Aw-lee-uns, to wear that ball-and-chain." He's resigned to live a life of ruination, to expect only the worst to befall him "in the House of the Rising Sun."

[@johnnylag5517]

It was a pleasure to see you enjoy this song. It is before my time but I remember hearing it a lot as a teen on classic rock stations. As an older man, I've come to appreciate how great it is. As a teen having never seen these guys I always assumed some fat old guy was singing this, not some smooth-looking guy who was barely old enough to drink. Subbed for your genuine reaction and insight.

[@user-ys8ky6tv1q]

Yes pure talent and they recorded this song in one take only.

[@user-hb3xc3px1h]

Eric Burton no joke

[@Code9]

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".

[@Mftjan2000]

Joan (Baez) sang it way before the ANIMALS did! Gorgeous version.

[@sylvanaire]

Thank you for all this info. Really appreciate it!

[@doloresschultz6804]

Another song you’d enjoy is Al Greene - How do you mend a broken heart. Or Percy Sledge - Ans to my Prayer. Righteous Brothers- What now my love, Summertime, My Prayer, you’ll never walk alone, you’ve lost that loving feeling. Justine, Bring it on home to me. You will love the Righteous Brothers!

[@gordonhutchison9647]

It's timeless.

[@debbiethomasson2709]

Eric Burdon is in his early 80s... Performing! Check him out with another band, War, "Spill the Wine"!

[@joelrook5563]

My favorite part has to be the end when they all have stern, serious faces. Except for the guitarist, who is grinning ear to ear. Ha

[@janicelucas8561]

Grew up with the Animals!! No auto tune & only one take!!REMARKABLE! Thanks 4 reaction!!

[@adchancellor1380]

The Animals had several good tunes that you should review. "Don't let me be misunderstood." Well, just get their first album, give it a listen to and see what you think of them as a group.

[@BengtLofqvist]

Lot of soul in this.

[@jadoremakeup1422]

It's nice to see a reviewer Really and truly appreciate the music and talent from an era way before his time, as well as recognizing that they are pure talent with no autotune.

[@krzlwzl]

I just love it when people are visibly loving music as much as i do.

[@davidlatto9342]

Used to work with John Smith, the drummer, at a pharmaceutical factory (very nice bloke) in the 1980s. The rights for a lot of the music was not distributed evenly across the band. It's not all rock and roll all the time.

[@whimsofmim]

This is an old folk song, covered by many musicians and arranged in a variety of ways, but as soon as this version hit the scene, it became what people think of when they think of this song. British invasion was amazing. It turned music on its head and inspired a lot of the major American artists of the time period (this song and the Beatles were a major influence on Bob Dylan going electric as he saw "rock" versions of these folk songs by British groups and realized he could make badass music by plugging in).

[@mprb7051]

Love this. Fantastic voice and organ playing! Loved your reaction!

[@matthewmoore293]

The original is written and performed by American, Woody Guthrie in the 40's. Amazing folk song

[@damoon2631]

Welcome to the '60s!!! Listen to Skypilot by them! One of the first antiwar songs!!

[@andrewwinter7843]

Its an old old song, really old. But his lyrics. Some have said "The House of the Rising Sun" is a penitentiary, or a jail. Maybe even Angola, Lousianna State Pen. maybe. can not confirm

[@SnowEfaust]

❤❤❤love much love for that reaction!

[@peggyshupert4517]

Alan Price very impressive keyboardist❤

[@Broomrider1492]

Watched The Animals on American Bandstand back in the '60s. My new favorite cover of this song is by Geoff Castellucci of VoicePlay. His Low bass voice is perfect for this song. So, so Good.

[@Nicovertime]

Really liked your reaction and thanks for sharing it ❤

[@beed5923]

If tgey were still around omg, theyd be over the moon...this is tge talent that lasts through the ages!!!

[@stevensprunger3422]

Yes, it was done live in fact, was come down at the last moment they had a concert someplace else got off the train and did this in the studio. All In one take.

[@annabrisley479]

New sub from South Africa 🇿🇦 loved this!

[@auversoi]

Finally someone reacting in a way that matches the music.

[@GentleRain21]

The origin of this song is questionable, but the first time it was recorded seems to be 1933. I can't imagine that it was ever sung with the same soul that Eric Burdon put into it.

[@coloniaabacaxi4464]

simplesmente, uma das melhores músicas já feitas!

[@mariarozakea9196]

I love this Song, 1965 I just was 3 Years old

[@pfalzgraf7527]

Love your reaction! I am old enough that for me this song is a staple of campfire songs (speaking as a European former member of the Scouts) PS: these days the bow they take at the end seems almost Japanese 😉 Only goes to show that the past is just like a different culture to us!

[@karenramstedt4614]

His voice is amazing, but we took it for granted because all singers then needed to have an excellent voice. (65, female 🇨🇦. The 1960s were an incredible time, good and bad, depending on where a person lived in the world.) Great voices: Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, and so many music artists!)

To me the most influential music , (other than classical) began with the big bands and ended in the 70,s ,,since then I’m unimpressed

[@keithsmith6553]

On the electric organ was Alan Price later of The Alan Price Set.

[@marythomson8537]

Try listening to Susan Boyle on Britain's got talent audition.The Animals are legendary.

[@madliberal7710]

I believe "The House of the Rising Sun" is an infamous prison in Louisiana. Burdon and The Animals did it in the studio in one take. No music console to adjust any volume or tenor of the song!

[@dakotaswain5026]

some other songs that have unexpected vocals are Faithfully by journey with the original vocalist Steve Perry, and More than a feeling by Boston.

[@Billy-te4ev]

Hey just found your channel and you were reacting to the mighty in my humble opinion the greatest rock band ever to walk this planet, zeppelin, I'm a 67year old English guy who found zeppelin when I was 12/13,.love your reaction to them it looked like you were in total disbelief as to how good they were, the singer Robert plant once said at a concert I was at that it's not only black guys and girls who sing the blues and this proves it, I'm so glad you mentioned the bass player John Paul Jones, him and Bonzo John Bonham as a rhythm section don't get any better, in most zeppelin fans opinions they held the band together, there were three lead guitarist at this time (all British may I add lol) that were considered the best in the world, zeppelins Jimmy page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, but I've always maintained that you also have to include guys called and please forgive me if I'm being rude to you but you are a young guy, include Jimmy hendrix of course, and this is absolutely true, when asked by a music journalist what was it like to be the greatest guitarist ever, Hendrix answered don't ask me ask Rory Gallagher who I theraly recommend you check out, his live stuff, back to zeppelin, check out anything they done live right back to the earliest, anyway keep up the great work you crazy funny black guy, meant in the best possible way, all the best English Billy,

[@harrywiegmans6193]
