I always liked the overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome.
A great band with a great sound. I’ve got one of my favorites of theirs on my iPod: “When I was Young”. See if that one doesn’t take you back....
Keyboardist Alan Price went on to have a solo career, wrote music for movies plus was on TV and in movies.
The Animals bassist Chas Chandler was the manager of Jimi Hendrix.
Chas Chandler was Jimi Hendrix’s manager and recruited the members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
And of course the first rock song any learning guitarist tries to play is the House of the Rising Sun.
Eric Burdon also was responsible for starting one of the greatest 70s bands, War.
I remember back in the 60s going to an Animals concert in Merced CA and was standing there watching the opening act and I turned to say something to a friend and there stood Eric Burton........thankfully I didn’t embarass myself by screaming or fainting....LOL...I loved the Animals!
Hendrix manager supposedly killed him because Hendrix was going to fire him. If he died while he was still manager then I guess he had a chance to control the royalties or something.
This story was out there recently. Same guy?
Then BAM, we get the British interpretation back at us in the 1960s.
Yessir. We talkin’ “spoonin” music here!

War - Summer
I absolutely love them, but became didn’t become a huge fan until adulthood, I was born in ‘61 and do remember them on my Philco AM Transistor radio (Made in Japan) lol
I thought it was Louie Louie or Stairwell to Heaven? The first lead guitarist in Pink Floyd (Bob Close) said he and Sid Barrett played Bo Diddley blues riffs as young kids.
Out of Long Beach, I think they existed before meeting up with him but of course he made them
Did you know when Burdon discovered the members of War, they were Deacon Jones’ (yes, the LA Rams great) backing band.
Two words: Low Rider.
This likely had some influence.
