This is before autotune, chorus effects, multitracking of vocals or reverb effects. Pure talent. In the studio, they recorded the song in a single take.

[@finallythere100]

When she said a house of joy I thought oh is she in for a surprise...

[@jennifercole281]

Actually Les Paul & Mary Ford were mastering multi-tracking vocals in the early l95os, creating the effect of many Mary Fords all singing together like a little choir. You are, however, otherwise absolutely correct and your point well taken. Most electronic gadgetry that is taken for granted today did not yet exist and the artists who made up the British Invasion, like musicians everywhere else around the world, hadn't any choice but to rely much more heavily on their pure musical ability, skill, selection of material and artistic vision to achieve success. Those who were very fortunate, like The Beatles, were additionally able to secure artistic management - not to tell them what to do or sound like, but to compliment their already existing vision & make it happen. It's refreshing to run across others here on YT who really see, hear, and appreciate these artists for the raw talent they had.😉

[@Noisehead101]

There's reverb on this, Studios had chamber reverb then

[@spacecadet35]

@@Noisehead101 - True But House of the Rising Sun was done in a single take in the studio with the band and no post production. So reverb probably wasn't used here, unless they stuck the vocals through a guitar amp.

[@Noisehead101]

@spacecadet35 they used to record live with reverb in the 60s, it wasn't always done afterwards. The vocals would be sent to a chamber built somewhere in the studio, back to the mixing desk and recorded live that way. That's why you get all those 60s records done live with chamber and plate reverbs, as you can clearly hear on his voice here. This song was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios which definitely was a place you would record live with reverb chambers. Not to mention things slap back delay was being used on 50s records in places like Sun Studios, by having the vocals on 2 tape reels, playing around 100 milliseconds apart, creating a delay/reverb effect.

The Animals are from Newcastle-Upon-Thyme in the UK. They had a strong R&B influence from the USA, which you probably noticed. Others have already pointed them out, but a couple of tracks you need to check out from the Animals are "We got to get out of this place" & "Please Don't Let Me be Misunderstood". The lead singer also went on to form another group, Eric Burden & War, which later was shortened to just War.. A few good tracks are "Spill the Wine", "Tobacco Road" and "Paint it Black"...

[@Elerad]

"Wow, what a nice group of young men." I loved that reaction. Haha. They're an interesting group, in that they were immensely popular in the sixties (at their height, we're talking near-Beatles-level popularity), but massive problems within the group caused them to fall apart and they've sort of slipped into obscurity. Just in case you're curious, here's a quick rundown on what happened: when they were just getting started, and were naive and not particularly knowledgeable about things like contracts and royalties, they signed the contracts in such a way that Alan Price (the keyboardist) received all the royalties. They thought they would simply split them amongst everyone, but Price played them and took it all. The big bassist, Chas Chandler, became disillusioned, because they were working their tails off but didn't seem to be making any money (see above). He came across a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix, however, and became the man's manager, bringing him out to the UK where his career caught fire. Chandler introduced Hendrix to the lead singer, Eric Burdon, and the two became close friends. Burdon was utterly devastated when Hendrix died, and things fell apart further. Chandler, however, decided he was done with playing, and went on to a career as a manager and talent scout before dying at a fairly young age. The drummer, John Steel, left the group and joined up with another band. They renamed themselves... The Animals. The other band members did not take kindly to this, and they severed all contact with Steel. Price took all of his profits and ran off to a fairly successful solo career. Burdon approached him much later and tried to bury the hatchet, telling him that he could keep all the profits, but to allow them to restructure the contracts so that all future royalties would be divided amongst the band, and they could then all get back together. Price told him to go take a long walk off a short pier, and again, all contact was severed. Burdon went on to a successful career with other bands, most notably the psychedelic rock band, War. Hilton Valentine jumped around, and still does so, even at his age. He and Burdon are the only two members still on speaking terms, and the original Animals have long, long been separated. There you have it. Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but I always found it to be an interesting story, and a good explanation for why so many people have never heard of this once-popular band.

[@Isleofskye]

Thanks. Really interesting. If Pricey was like that you can guarantee he kept all the money from his own Group :)

[@jaymehenning2928]

Sad story... But they had talent and a love for the blues, they came up with their interpretation of the classic blues song, "house of the rising sun"; while ON TOUR with the legendary Chuck Berry! All of the openers for him where trying to out blues each other ... Many of those english rockers loved the blues; (the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin)

[@theRejectKid01]

Wow, what a story.

[@dianadenman5637]

Thank you for taking the time to explain. As much as I LOVE Eric Burton and the Animals, I never knew what busted them up. How devilish!

Alan Price produced much of the music in this production. He received all the residuals and the rest of the group received nothing. Price had a fear of flying. After this production/recording Price broke away from the group and the group was never the same.

I met a Lady in my local South East London park and as she was saying Goodbye I then asked her what she did and she said that she was a singer and added music runs in the Family and that her Dad was in a Band.

[@dianadenman5637]

This was my favorite song of all time while in my teens and 20's. Interesting fact: When I was reading about the history of Seattle, Washington, I read that when the city would take their census back in the 1800's, the many prostitutes working there would state that their occupation was "seamstress". For me, this was an explanation for the weird line, "My mother was a tailor.....sewed my new blue jeans.....my father was a gambling man....." During an interview Eric Burton explained that this "song" had been played in taverns since, at least, the 1920's - maybe earlier. But it was primarily instrumental with just a few lines for the singer. Also, it was mainly sung about a woman - trying to escape her unfortunate heritage and failing. She had to return to the House of the Rising Sun. Eric said they filled out the verses to balance all the instrumental and, of course, the subject of the song became a man. So much amazing original music came out of the 1960's. A fantastic time to be in high school. However, even among Animal fans, I never hear anyone recommending the next best song from Eric Burton - "When I Was Young". Fantastic.

[@artbagley1406]

[@Raven-ey7mt]

This is an old American Folk song sung by a British group that absolutely OWNED it. Nobody will ever do it this well. I have heard a very old recording of a young girl in the Appalachian singing it in the early 1930's. She sang it in a bluegrass style - it sounded very haunting. The words change here and there with different versions. The House of The Rising Sun is a saloon with gambling and prostitution. In the song the singer inherited his father's gambling addiction and weakness for vices. The ending of the song is most striking "I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball & chain" - his addictions have overcome him again and he is a slave to them. Though he seems to hesitate on the platform, but he yields to his addictions and goes back. Eric Burdon's voice is like no other. His career was mismanaged. He had one of the best voices in pop music - ever. There is a tape of him on KZbin singing "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" live. They sound great - his voice is recording quality on it. Look it up.

[@IlliterateSage]

“The House of the Rising Sun” is an old American folk song. Rock and roll was heavily inspired by Black American folk tunes, blues, and jazz. The British variant also had some Indian influence, due to their own history (look up the East India Trading Company if you’re bored and/or in quarantine). This particular song was about (depending on your interpretation) a kid whose father frequented “The House of the Rising Sun,” a popular brothel in NOLA. Needless to say, he was likely born far out of wedlock. His mother had to survive as a tailor; and while he knew his father, he was absent, paying child support by gambling whenever he wasn’t on a drunk. However, the main character himself fell into the latter of nature versus nurture. He went to the Rising Sun and impregnated a hooker. Since that meant she’d be fired, he eventually decided to “wear that ball and chain” and get on a train to New Orleans to provide for his accidental new family. It was a ruin of this poor boy, and God knows he’s one. The Animals might have the most famous cover of this song, but there have been recorded versions forty years older, and I’m sure those weren’t by the composers.

[@kennan200]

This song is an American folk song from an unknown artist in 1930. During the 50's and 60's blues and folk was losing popularity in the states for motown and R&B. But it was still played on american GI bases in europe. People in Britain never heard it before and loved it. It spoke to the working classes, particularly in the north of England where the animals are from (Durham). The communities there at the time were facing serious massive coal mine layoffs and poverty. Blues from the states spoke to them and they treated it almost like a religion. The animals did a really good cover of this folk song.

You reaction people are spreading the love of all music, dont get it on radio anymore. Happy new years and best wishes to all of you doing the great work of letting people know the breadth of music.

Yes they were an English rythm & blues & rock group. I was 11 in 1964...remember all of there music. PLEASE DONT LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD another good one

After all these years I just realized that The House of the Rising Sun might be a metaphor for the the depressed states of mind and physical realities into which we place ourselves, but that there can be a choice to wallow in them or extricate ourselves from them.

A Brothel.

First time viewer and I must say how much I appreciated the fact that you let the entire song play without any interruptions. Enjoying and absorbing the audio and video until completion before expressing your thoughts is a welcome change from most other vloggers, please don't change that format.

Everyone’s going through something. Thanks for the outlet.

I've been a fan since 1964 when I was 10 years old. The lead singer Eric Burdon still sings today and he has another group named War that you should listen to also.

[@aaronshackelford6106]

All-time favorite bands to listen to no matter what age you are

[@crowqueen2789]

You are such a beautiful couple & I’m 61 & didn’t know about these groups. It shows how relatable music from the past is. I love experiencing this through lovely people like you.

[@grandrapids57]

the drummer.... wow... he's a machine!

[@frankmurphy1964]

Man I've watched at least 50 of these reactions to this classic song.but what baffles me is the amount of people who claim they have never heard this song.how could you have avoided it.esp bars restaurants shopping centers.unless they we're brought up in a cave are just out of a coma

[@jakemorrison8507]

Totally get you. Baffles me. There's probably a difference between hearing it and forgetting and actually listening to it and appreciating you may like it. Only thing I can think of

[@mbgal7758]

It’s been in movies and tv shows I feel like too

[@rickaroo702]

Eric Burdon and The Animals and Eric Burdon also performed with War "Spill The Wine". Thanks for this great song. Great Organ and great sounding band.

[@ceeb2275]

Still one of my favourite songs of all time.... great reaction guys.

I love this song!! It brings great memories of when I was a teen in 69-70 and this was & still is a famous song. It is one of those songs that was before its time. Eric Bourdon, John Steel, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine & Alan Price (the original members) just added a little spice to an old old old African-American folk song. Many famous singers sang it but Eric and Alan changed it a bit and it became a hit in the early 60’s. The original band members are or were from Britain.

[@matsjakobsson1376]

Yes from THE UK. We gotta get out of this place, great also!

[@ikahrahman1115]

Love your reaction.. aren't we lucky to still be hearing this in 2020!

[@crowqueen2789]

Beautiful commentary, I appreciate you. Wonderful to experience this through you.
