[@fleetskipper1810]

Even being brazen enough to sing about a house of prostitution, which this song is, was considered socially unacceptable back then. Nonetheless, “House of the Rising Sun” became a hit because the power in this rendition could not be denied. It was definitely considered counter-culture back then. The Animals had to dress conservatively. They wouldn’t have made it past the TV censors otherwise. And TV was only medium on which groups could get their music videos (to use a term that came along 25 years later) broadcast.

"Eric Burdon.... the most physically imposing Voice." - Rolling Stone Magazine Eric Burdon, one of the most distinctive and soulful voices in rock and roll, is an accomplished painter, author, composer, recording artist and a traveling bluesman for over 50 years. His musical journey began in the coal-mining town of Newcastle, England, where he immersed himself in American blues and jazz. Driving force of the Animals, Burdon helped lead the British Invasion with their first international hit, "House of the Rising Sun." A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member since 1994 and named one of the 100 Greatest Voices of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Burdon's long string of hits includes "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and the Vietnam-era anthem, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place." His psychedelic-era classics include "San Franciscan Nights," "Monterey" and the anti-war, "Sky Pilot." Founder of multi-ethnic funk outfit War, Burdon broke new ground with “Spill the Wine." Burdon has shared the stage with legends such as Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Witherspoon and Otis Redding - and was cited by cutting edge musicians Patti Smith and Iggy Pop in their personal top tens. In 2012, Burdon received hard-earned kudos from Bruce Springsteen in his keynote speech at South by Southwest. Burdon joined Springsteen on-stage and was soon back in heavy demand. An EP with garage rockers the Greenhornes was quickly followed up with the acclaimed, full-length LP 'Til Your River Runs Dry.

This is from a British movie called Pop Gear (in the U.S it was called Go-Go Mania). It's a collection of filmed performances of various British bands of the period performing their big hits. Most of them never crossed over, but of course The Animals did. They're all shot, staged, and lit really interestingly. It's actually a beautiful movie to watch. Coming out on BluRay soon.

Wow. Can you imagine hearing this for the first time like I did when I was 14 in 1964? I'm not saying I was hip or anything like that but this blew me away. I had never heard anything remotely like it in my life. The Animals and the Stones and the Beatles were just picking me up and swinging me around in the air! You hardly had time to breath back then there was so much new music coming out. From 64 to 69 was one hell of a ride. Maybe a time like that is coming again? Is it now? I don't know. But I find it heartwarming to see some of the young people giving a listen to our music back then. I've listened to one hell of a lot of blues from the 1900s on up and one of the best is (1970) Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving You."

Likewise, I was living in Manchester at that time and getting blown away every week it seemed with something new being broadcast by the pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline. The BBC just refused to play anything wilder that George Formby. How lucky were were to be in the middle of such a revolutionary upheaval in music.

[@johnallen2771]

@@grahamyates2490 Everybody wanted to be a rock and roller after these groups started putting out music. Eric Burdon had such a powerful voice and he was only limited by the microphone level. He could have sung without a microphone and still be heard in the back on an auditorium. I remember pirate radio stations in England. We in the States thought it was just terrific that these ships were broadcasting from off the coast. Great time to be alive.

Right?! The emotion and musicality of this song for 1964?? Earth shattering. I could imagine hearing this as a teen totally changing my life.

Recorded May 18, 1964 in ONE TAKE! The engineer set the levels, they performed it once. Then mixed down and mastered. The entire session was twenty-five minutes. Burdon's soaring vocal and Price's funky organ solo shine in what became The Animals trans- Atlantic hit. Brilliant!

[@JoanVioletStretch]

They were well known for their one time takes in the studio as Eric put it..."I always do my best the first time round...thats when I capture the mood,"...what a talent...the Animals used to play at clubs in the seaside town of Whitby in Yorkshire, just down the road from their native Newcastle, before they were discovered and crowds flocked to see them..I visited there 3yrs ago and the ad posters of the band are still up on the walls for some of those venues...they are proud of their incredible rock legend there.

[@kimwilcox-stewart4950]

I stumbled across y'all's channel last week. I love this so much. Puts a smile on my face. Thank you

[@_Boadicea_]

This song is a very old "folk" song originating in the early 1800's - not about a boy in New Orleans, but a girl in New Orleans working as a prostitute in the brothel called "The House of the Rising Sun". There actually was a brothel called The House of the Rising Sun in the late 1700's, burned down, another one reopened in the early 1800's, burned down, another in the mid 1800's, burned down. One of them was also an opium den along with a brothel.

[@catbutte4770]

@Boadlice Lceni, I didn't even know the backstory of this song. Thank you! 😮

[@blowingfree6928]

Doesn't originate in Norfolk then? Just joking, that is interesting backstory. Like most folk songs I expect the lyrics changed over time.

[@roisinoconnor]

That makes much more sense. It needs a redo by a current female artist.

[@blowingfree6928]

@@roisinoconnor More sense than what? It does not "need" a redo by a current female artist. As a commercial enterprise this song can never be re-done. Eric's voice can never be matched. He was 17 when he recorded this. Since Iceni's comments I have been researching the backstory. There is no evidence that this house ever existed in New Orleans. If it had it would have been after 1831 when the first railways came. The brothel inspired B&B named House of the Rising Sun in NO is named after the song as the owners were fans of the song. There are three theories about the song's setting: a brothel, a gambling house, and a prison. The lyrics support all three, with the prison being the least convincing. A theory is that "The Rising Sun" was used as the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and it was also a name for English pubs, therefore it is about a brothel. Alternatively, there is the Sun King theory, which also supports brothels. They could both be red Herrings. As a feeling, I think it is about a brothel, though it could just as easily be about a gambling house. The original song, it is supposed, would have been written in the last two decades of the 19th century. Blue jeans were invented in 1875ish (the immortal Levi's). There is no evidence to support any theories that the song is earlier. Some musicologists have said that it resembled ballads of the 16th century, and could very easily have derived from one of that time. Seems far fetched to me. As a popular folk song, the oldest record of “House of the Rising Sun” in reference to a song was 1905, and it was first recorded in 1933 by an Appalachian group. So the origins, the protagonist, and even the setting, of this song are unknown. Even the lyrics change. There is no "sense".

[@roisinoconnor]

Blowing Free #metoo says otherwise. Many a girl been sent to that house. You spend a lot of time going around telling ppl what can & cannot be done? Open your mind.

house of the rising sun is a lot older than the animals, and i dont think there is a consensus on the original artist. Its kind of a folk legend song. But no question it slaps :)

Wikipedia says it origins may go back to the 1600s. Rising Sun may not only refer to the brothel but also Louis XIV the French Sun King.

[@lindanicholson950]

Just try to imagine that the Animals were considered the bad boys. Just look at them. Matching suits and ties.

[@bialynia]

It's simply because alternative fashion the way we know it didn't really exist yet.

[@bialynia]

@GrayWolf2036 Yeah, that's why I said "the way we know it" :) There was something you could call alternative fashion but it was different from what we call alternative fashion today. First of all, in the late sixties and early seventies, mainstream fashion split into several co-existing styles and from that time the idea of expressing your individual personality through your sartorial choice became much more prominent. We not only have the possibility to chose between several significantly different styles, we are expected to choose a style that matches our personality and image. In other words, today a bad boy NEEDS to dress a certain way. But in the early sixties that split didn't really happen yet, for at least two decades there was just one mainstream fashion that everybody wore. So nobody felt like they're compromising their individuality by wearing a suit and a tie, it didn't mean you conform or compromise, it just didn't have that significance.

[@lindanicholson950]

I really was thinking of the parental attitudes toward the rock and roll singers and especially the Beatles and the hair when I was in high school. And comparing that to what we got in the hair and dress and music when our kids hit high school. Compare the Animals to Twisted Sister.
