"House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals was released in America in August of 1964…
Although the band would put 14 songs in the Top 40, this will be their only US number one. It was reported that the song was recorded in just one take and the band was actually in the studio for less than ten minutes...
Originally known as the Alan Price Combo, this British blues band changed its name to the Animals when Eric Burdon joined in 1962...
With the release of "House of the Rising Sun" in mid-1964, they became the first British group after the Beatles to chart a number one single in America….
Their dark, brooding arrangement of that traditional folk song became an early milestone in the British Invasion. They continued their assault on the American record charts with:
"I'm Crying" (#19)
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (#15)
"Bring It On Home To Me" (#32)
The original membership lasted only until May, 1965, with Alan Price's 1965 departure due to his fear of flying. Keyboardist Dave Rowberry was brought in to replace him (as seen above in the “Bring It On Home To Me” video) and The Animals continued their hit streak!!!
"We've Gotta Get Out of This Place" (#13 on the charts)
"Don't Bring Me Down" (Charted just under the Top Ten, coming in at #12)
After a series of more line-up changes, Eric Burdon continued with new recruits now billed as Eric Burdon and the Animals and enjoyed several more U.S. hits…
By 1970 Eric Burdon had hooked up with the group WAR and that’s a whole other story…
