Black. Country bloody phone
Well shit bruv, you'll get a kick out of Johnny Cash... And especially one of his last songs Hurt.
I'm assuming you probably know Hurt isn't a Johnny Cash song, it's originally by Nine Inch Nails, but even Trent Reznor has said it's now Johnny's song. The Cash version was used to great effect in an episode of Person of Interest after one of the main characters died.
@@baldychris2006 yes, I'm well aware. I focused on voice when making my recommendation
This was sung by Eric Burdon when he was 23, looked like he was 16 and sang like he was 40.
I long suspected he was time traveler because of this, lol
Which is one of the reasons, why listening to "When I Was Young" is strongly recommended.
Hehe, like Andrew Strong in The Commitments, was 16, looked 23 and sounded 60.
Don’t ever apologise for a genuine reaction. That’s why people watch you
yeah theres so many fake reactors, where they say ''first time listen'' and then sing along xD
Your reaction was perfect. Don't ever change.
exactly why i subscribed
Hear! Hear!
This song is 60 years old this year. Let that sink in. Lol
The earliest written version is said to have dated from around the Civil War, though it's thought to have been derived from either an English or French folk song from as early as the 16th century.
@@jeffjohnson9911wow that's cool.
@@jeffjohnson9911English
So am I. 60. Crazy.
Sad that I remember when it came out. Every garage band had to learn it.😊
The Animals formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1962.
Other The Animals songs, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" and "Don't Let Me Be Missunderstood".
Eric Burdon also sang in the group "War". One of their songs "Spill The Wine".
You just mentioned the three songs I was going to suggest. Great songs.
Me too. All great songs.
All 3 are must hear. Good list!
I heard Eric Burdon is a Geordie.
When I was young is my favourite
My dad, a Vietnam vet, begged me to learn this on guitar when I was 16. I reluctantly did, played it for him, and he started to cry. I'm glad I learned it.
Beautiful!
Eric Burden is regarded as one of the British Invasion's most distinctive singers with his deep, powerful blues-rock voice. Burdon is also known for his intense stage performances.
Amen
Lifted directly from wiki by bot
Thank you, Wikipedia.
Eric Burdon was born singing like a 60 year old man lol
The singer Eric Burden is English having been Born in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Definitely recommend more from The Animals. Including "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", or another power Ballad "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".
Or check out “Eric Burden & WAR” do “Spill the Wine”. Whole ‘nuther Level. 5:11
Keep up the good work.
Eric Burdon is still with us. He's 83yo now. MASSIVE voice lol
Nobody expects the power of his vocals by looking at him
Mark lammar always reminded me of him
I knew the song before ever watching the video and I still remember how it blew my mind as a young girl the first time I realised who that voice belonged to
The baby-faced kid with the big voice is now in his 80s.
Listen & weep at the greatest music we boomers had...we are all senior citizens now !! We had it all...listen & weep !!😊
Preach!! Lol
Gen X had it good too.
Exactly a 65 baby 😂
You like raspy voices. Bob Seger is the singer for you.
I'm Gen X and I love reminding smug Zoomers that Punk was a Boomers invention
So the song here is a cover. It's a Very old American folk song (circa 1870), first recorded in 1925 by Robert Winslow Gordon, though he learned it from his Grandfather.... Later popularized by the Animals in the 1960s. The Animals are a British band, singing an American song, the melody of which was based on an English pub song (Entitled "Matty Groves"), so it went full circle, lol. They did change the lyrics. Originally, the song was about a prostitute, they changed it to "Gambler" to make it safe for radio play.
The original lyric was set in England, NOT New Orleans. Here's a line from the original:
"If you go to Lowestoft, and ask for The Rising Sun,
There you'll find two old whores and my old woman is one"
Edited:
The instrument you're hearing is not Keyboard. I originally mistook it for a Mellotron, but one of the commentors below pointed out it is a Vox Continental, and they were correct. The Vox can emulate Mellotron sounds, but the bright orange color should have tipped me off. Good catch, dude. I stand corrected.
Both the Vox and the Mellotron were analogue synth keyboards, with the vox being a transistor-based tone generator, while the mellotron used recorded micro-loops for each tone. Modern keyboards today are like a combination of the features of both. Both could reproduce the sounds in this song, but it is a Vox being used here.
Love all the background info… Thanks
Amazing context! Thanks for educating us!
Best comment
I appreciate this information!! Thanks
Sorry, gotta correct you on one point. The keyboard isn't a Mellotron, it's a Vox Continental organ.
Interesting side note. The Animals’ bass player, Chas Chandler, pretty much discovered Jimi Hendrix. After seeing him in the US when he wasn’t well known and wasn’t even performing under his own name, he brought him to the UK, recruited a drummer and bass player, created the Jimi Hendrix experience and produced Jimi’s first few albums.
💥💥💥💥 Thanx,,,👍👍👍🤪
He's right, you know.
The Animals were part of the 60s British Invasion in America with the biggest groups being The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I like all of their songs and had a chance to see them in person. However, lead singer Eric Burdon was a no show due to illness? Have you ever heard the song that Eric Burdon sang with War called Spill The Wine? Very strange but an earworm that you can't get out of your head. Love Your Show!
Amazing!! Thank you for this information.
He also managed Slade for 12 years.
I prefer you to be honest with yer reactions rather than be fake and act to what you think people want. If it blows you away, great. If it's a slow burner, great. If you didn't like it or it wasn't yer cup of tea, great. As long as you are genuine and honest, that is what we want. If someone doesn't like that then let them find something else that pleases them. Always be real MollyBoy 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
"The Animals" were from Newcastle
Upon Tyne UK. They were founded by the Singer Eric Burdon in 1963.
They were one of the Most Important
Bands of the British Invasion Movement!!! I do think you look a bit
Like him. Take that as a compliment 😉!! He had an Incredible Voice !!
And unbelievably, given how long ago this was filmed, Eric Burdon is still alive at 83 years old.
The organ solo is indeed pretty sweet!
Eric is 20-21 during this performance. What a voice. Back in the day the bands had to be very talented with an outstanding front man. No autotune. They are British. Thanks. Appreciate your sincere reaction.
He's 23 when they recorded the song -in the video he just turned 24
Thank God for reaction channels to keep this music alive and not let it disappear!
Wave the British flag proudly! So many incredible musicians from across the pond!
And, surprisingly in this instance, just possibly it is an ancient English folk tune, but that is practically lost in the mist of time! The organist and vocalist NEVER spoke to each other again after disputes over money from this very lucrative track! Always much more to learn, MB.
Please remember, there were no music videos, as we know them today. This was a recording of a live television appearance.
As such, the music and vocals are live, with zero auto-tune or post recording manipulation. The artists were all really that talented.
And this was done with all analog equipment.
Burden having a boyish face with 40 or 50 year old grit, soul and power.
Eric's voice has gobsmacked listeners for years!
This is their best song for me, and it's a cover, but it belongs to the Animals now. No one has ever done it better.
The Psychedelic Rock Band "FRIJID PINK" does this Song better! 🎸🥁
@@j.j.upright4010 Love "Frigid Pink"!
Your facial expressions are worth more than words. Great reaction!
THE ANIMALS, LET ME SAY THEY ARE UNIQUE, ERIC BURTON THE VOICE.😮😮😮
This song has been giving me the chills since I first heard it in the '70's. My dad had a stack of albums that we totally absorbed - The Animals were in it. This band was a transformative powerhouse of the 60's.
This is one of the best songs ever written. In 200 years when they talk about music from that era, someone will mention this song, and someone else will insist it gets played for anyone who hasn't heard it. And they will react in the same way down through the years until the sun burns out.
Stay with humble and honest. It suits you. No reason to get too excited all the time. Your knowledge and instinct and wit are what we are here for 😊
Yes Americans invented blues and rock, the British musicians in the 50s and 60s took the influence and served it back up to us in a genius way.
My mom had a teenage crush on the keyboard player. lol. At the time people were either fan of The Beatles or fan of The Rolling Stones. My mom was like, yeah they're good, but have you heard The Animals!
I had a bit of a crush on him too, after he had his own band.
Alan Price was the keyboard player. ❤️🎵
Allman Brothers. Whipping Post. Raspy!
Absolutely
Your look at the beginning spoke volumes!!! That was THE LOOK that this song and performance brings to faces..stunning reaction!!!
This is one of the most famous songs of all time.
What a great vocal performance! I've always loved this song.
Newcastle on Tyne.
The look on your face! The moments when you realize just how good it really is. The early British bands were all about blues, they worshipped the old blues masters. But they put their own spin on the sound, in much of their early work. Animals, Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc… they all began with old blues covers. Loving watching your mind expand, keep going.
They walked a funeral march, typical of the south when someone died in the video, great song
They are part of the British Invasion of the 60's. Iconic song and band.
I am from Newcastle and used to go to a nightclub where the Animals sang and what great nights they were in the 1960s. What memories. 👍
It was such a great time to be a young person. I'm sorry my grand children will never have the life we had back then.
Eric Burdon is still touring with The Animals these days. He’s incredible.
The music you like and listen to today,,,,is a branch from the TREE of music that's been created over the years. The 60's and 70's birthed EVERYTHING. 💥💥💥👍😎
The Animals, that voice, that organ, let the tingling begin.
One of the best songs ever written, crosses every generation still
The Animals are from Newcastle, but the song is an old American folk/ blues song.
Love seeing a young person discovering older music
Eric Burdon is for real. Bad boy UK wild kid. Love his intensity.
5 Geordies singing about an Oriental brothel in the American Deep South. The singer is Eric Burdon. Check out Eric Burdon & War performing Spill The Wine on Beat Club in 1970. Or Grand Funk Railroad covering the Aminals tune Inside Looking Out on TV 1969.
Indeed, Geordie land's finest. I love their "Bring It On home To Me"
Oriental? It’s a gambling den & brothel .Houses far enough outside of town to only run into others up to no good. The name is just a play on you don’t leave until dawn. We have to ask Eric
This song was INTENSE and was considered a #1 choice of best rock ever (when Rock was fairly young)' also "Satisfaction," by the Rolling Stones (I can't get no).
It was an epic era to grow up; age 74
Probably one of the first songs learned by every garage band of the '60's and early '70's. So great to jam on
Learned it in the 90s in a garage band lol 🤘
@@tobaobokoomi1693 '73 for me
The Animals are British.
Eric Burdon was 22 or 23 when this was released. For a young man his voice was incredibly mature and controlled. He had the perfect blues/rock voice. He would have made an incredible heavy metal band front man.
Eric Burden - the vocalist - was the bloke who brought Jimi Hendrix over to Britain and managed him and the Experience.
They were friends and did some musical things together but Michael Jeffery was Hendrix’s manager.
Was Chaz Chandler the bass player who "discovered" Jimi and ultimately became his manager along with managing SLADE... . The guys were from districts of Newcastle in the North East.... Absolutely fantastic band who have many many classics... Check out "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" An GI anthem in Vietnam........
It was the bass player Chas Chandler who became Jimi Hendrix first manager and brought him to England.
As others have said. It was Chandler, not Burdon who discovered Jimi
As an old timer (BOOMER) I must say I seem to catch myself stopping everything I was doing and tuning in to listen to this song every time I hear it being played.
It's good to have an excuse (laughing)...
They were on the way to a gig, stopped at the recording studio, cut the record in one take. Total time: 15 minutes. Then went on their way.
2 powerful songs today. This one is a true classic🤘
Organs were big in the sixties. I was shocked too when i first saw this video. He looks so young and then...boom, comes that voice. Great reaction. You reacted just the way i thought you would. I dont think you look like him. Thanks Mollyboy!!!
Yes, this song is 60 years old this year. The Band "The Animals" are a British Band. The "House of the Rising Sun" is about a house of ill repute - ie. brothel. They recorded the song in one take in a small studio in London on May 18, 1964. If you have an interest, look up the history of the song - it's very interesting. Love it!!!
Eric Burden was a true Animal, voice-wise. Extreme power and clarity. very few male vocalists can do it like he did.
They're British. One of the "British Invasion" bands of the '60's that reintroduced Americans to their own music -- the blues.
They're from Newcastle on Tyne. I thought your reaction was spot on and genuine. Take a listen to Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Another great one from The Animals.
Burdon also sang with a band called War (Spill the Wine was a pretty popular song). I have an Animals greatest hits on my iPad/iTunes.
I legitimately feel like the Animals were the godfathers of alternative music!
This is a pinnacle point in the career of The Animals. They were a transitional R&B/Mod group formed in 1963 and shaped the future into the '70s. It is a worldwide anthem and has cemented the group as an absolute legend.
They were from Newcastle, same year as the Beatles but they were the hardest blues band of that era. Eric Burdon, singer, is still around, singing. The bass player quit & brought Hendrix from the US & made him a star.
This singer is a beast
one of the most common reactions to this clip is: "- where does this little man get that monstrous voice from??" talent, friends, just talent! 😊
Eric Burdon just turned 83 at the beginning of may.He lives in Ojai(ow hi),california these days.This song is about a brothel called The Rising Sun. He also sang with a another band after The Animals called War. He has had a lot of very successful records .His voice is very recognizable.
IT'S MY LIFE and/or SPILL THE WINE are great tracks to follow up on. 💯🤘
Iconic riff and that keyboard player is killing it ,you're right
Look at at that kid playing the guitar smiling over his sholder as its paused at 7:54. You can see that they're genuinely having fun making music and he knows that they just crushed this video.
That beginning riff was the first thing we'd learn on a guitar when we were young ... lol. And you'll find this song at the vtop of the list in karaoke bars. The animals were awesome in our day. Great reaction sir !!!
This is an all time classic. Glad you liked it. If you liked the keyboards in this and want to hear another amazing voice, try The Doors
Ray and Jim… iconic doesn’t even do them justice. Just perfection
Try Procul Harum a Brit band singing 'A whiter shade of Pale' as I think you might like it. Listen to the version with the Danish National Concert Orchestra. You will be in for a treat.
Makes me cry from the opening note. Every time.
This song has been covered-quite competently-over the decades, but nothing tops the original. And they're just standing there, bringing the house down. Another great video, dude!
Eric Burdon lead singer 🔥is still performing !! I’ve loved The Animals since the sixties, as a teen they were one of my fav British bands along with The Kinks, The Beatles,Donovan, Herman’s Hermits !! 🔥💥☮️ cheers from 🇨🇦
My favorite Animals song is "It's My Life" and I'd be so happy if you gave that one a listen. Man, to watch you hear this for the first time and to see your reaction to it is wild because this is the music I grew up with and have loved all my life! Your videos continue to give me a new appreciation for this stuff. Thanks!
The Animals are a huge rabbit hole to explore👍
As British as you can get. Geordies. Apart from Eric Burdons amazing voice is Alan Price on keyboard. Class act.. Great reaction again.👍
When he appeared on live shows, he walks out looking like a kid, and then this GIANT soulful voice comes exploding out of him.
They have a deep catalog and many amazing songs!
They've got classic after classic bro... Definitely one of the forefathers to rock and metal as we know it today... Rock on brother... Glad you liked this one.. 🤟
Fun fact: the bassist of the animals later discovered!!! and became the manager of a young man who is consider to be the best with an electric guitar called Jimmy Hendricks
Eric burden lives in Greece and his voice at the age of 83 is considered to be better than when he was young. “When I was young” by the way is another banger from them
Hey MollyBoy,
No worries that your reaction wasn't over the top enough. You looked pretty gobsmaked to me. Check out the song "It's my life" by the Animals as well. Rock on mate!
The 1960s had some of the best guitar riffs of all time. My parents always played that music while I was growing up.
There is an artist named Dion that does a song called runaround sue. Maybe the first popular display of the raspiness you like. It goes hard af for an oldie
Great song!!
Dion’s “Cry” is one of my favourite songs!
The Animals have several songs you should listen to - they are legends. They are part of several bands circa 60's that killed it. And yeah, who'd ever think we could jam out to someone shredding a keyboard - :). Glad you found The Animals -
😂 You do not need to apologize for not acting giddy..the stunned look on your face said it all! So glad you enjoyed listening to one of my all time favorites ❤
One of the greatest voices of the era! Also EFF the Niche. Do what you want!😮 we will follow
Check The Small Faces from that era too, Steve Marriott has an amazing voice.
I was going to say the same thing. Steve Marriott was awesome!
Oh I hope he does this band 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love the organ player in this video. All are great, but he's just wailing on those keys in his own world, and loving every second.
The Animals were from the 60's. Also changed their name later to War. Check the Album-Sun Secrets. Has some of the best /famous songs on it.
Great your digging into classic rock. Liking your diversity in rock. Suggestion check out Thin Lizzy ,UFO and Montrose.
You’ll often hear this song (or parts of) in Vietnam war movies as it’s of that time - and like the comments say - they ARE BRITISH - so B proud bro!!
LOVE ME SOME ANIMALS!!! :) Eric Burdon's VOCALS & Alan Price's KEYS!!! OMG!!! ENJOY, MOLS!!! HUGS!
My husband just caught me watching the Molly Boy reaction on my computer instead of working. Hahahaha! Love your reactions, guy. By the by, I could be your grandmother. You're reactions are so fun to watch. Great job!
Stunned silence is the best reaction ❤
They are very British, part of the British Invasion. But, this is a cover of an American song. They were opening for Chuck Berry and realized that you don't out-rock Chuck Berry. So, they went for atmosphere.
I recommend another British band, Mott the Hoople. Death May Be Your Santa Claus or anything else off of Brain Capers would be a good place to start. Righteous Brothers (American duet) doing a live version of You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', would be another good touch.
Another recommendation would be Ray Charles. Probably start with What'd I Say and end with Georgia, which is my favorite song in the world.
My dad loved these guys, back in the 60s... Timeless classic
I had the greatest luck to have seen Eric Burden performing live at a huge all day Rock show back in the 90's. His voice was still impeccable as always.
The Animals are a true classic British rock group of the 60s and the individual members have been very successful as well. The singer, Eric Burden has had success with various incarnations of the Animals, and as far as I know is still performing with their latest lineup. Also with the group "War" and as a solo artist in addition to acting in a few films. The keyboard player Alan Price also had a successful solo career and as a duo with Georgie Fame. For a period in the 1970s Price as a solo artist was arguably a bigger deal than the Animals, with regular TV appearances on shows such as Top of the Pops. Bass player Chas Chandler was actually one of the most important talent scouts, artist managers and record producers of the late 1960s and 70s. He was the man largely responsible for bringing the talents of, then unknown, Jimi Hendrix into the public eye, when he convinced Hendrix to accompany him to Britain and rename his band "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". He had a big hand in producing Hendrix's first 2 albums. Chandler later was manager and record producer for Slade for 12 years, during the time they were at their most successful.
We DID have some GREAT MUSIC, back in the day!! :)
Your surprise at the keyboard......
