Eric's voice made this tune pure fire, but that organ solo made it legendary.

[jonathanwright]

He was 23 when this was a set of pipes!

[johndavids]

The bassist Chaz Chandler became a producer and is the man who discovered Jimi Hendrix. Their hit We've Gotta Get out of this Place was a major theme song in Vietnam. We sang it all the time.

Eric Burdon's voice was so powerful at such a youg age! He looks like he's just walking around simply telling a story but so much power looking effortless.

[modawg]

There’s something haunting about this. The singer is like an Old Soul, a young man, boyish really with an old man inside. So cool 😎

Love Eric Burdon & The Animals. They were part of the British Invasion along with The Beatles, Rolling Stones & others. People are always shocked that Eric has such a different unique deeper voice. The Animals had a lot of great hits in the 60's such as "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Baby Let Me Take You Home", "I'm Crying", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Bring It On Home to Me", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "See See Rider", "Monterey", "Sky Pilot" etc. Eric later joined the funk rock band "War" & they had a few hits "Spill the Wine" & "Tobacco Road".

Absolute classic and I cant believe the vid quality from 1964

[ukdnbmarsh]

Burdons powerful voice is absolutely effortless

[eddieevans]

The Animals had been performing this song live while touring with Chuck Berry. It was so popular with audiences, they decide to record it. On May 17, 1964, they drove down from Liverpool to London where they recorded the song in one take. No overdubs, no second chances, nothing! A few weeks later it was #1 around the world.

[RobertRoth-ojzz]

This was a shocker for 1964, compared to other songs of that year. Bob Dylan first heard it in his car radio and had to pull over to listen to it. He couldn't believe his ears.

[northnsouth]

This was recorded in only 30 mins as Micky Most the producer didn't like the song and thought it would be a flop...he was proved wrong.

[johndoe-gtgp]

This is a one take wonder. They had booked the studio for their lunch hour when they were on tour with an American blues man, Muddy Waters, or someone like him, being the opening act. They thought they needed a better sound so they booked the studio. Stopped off there, set up, recorded this in one take, packed up and got back on the road.
Now that’s talent and musicianship. Alan Price’s organ break, one take. The whole song, one take.

[GailKostandaras]

Eric Burtons Voice is like no other..I was 14 yr. In 1964..,

[distantlands]

My daughter had this song in her set list. Imagine my surprise when I contacted ASCAP for the royalty agreement only to find out there wasn’t one because the song was written over 400 years ago in Britain as an old bar song !!!

[katfinn]

Thank you for this reaction. Yes, let's call it blues. I believe this was originally a British folk song but as many folk songs were, became an American folk song with different words. When I was in high school every house band played this song. And before I forget, the organ! The sound of the organs (and guitars) of that era is unique to it and were WONDERFUL.

[ericcrook]

I didnt know what to expect but this song has now been added to one of my all-time favorites. I love how the organ player was next to the drums and at the end is all the way across the room and now in front of the singer with the drummer in the back. Everyone here is so talented; the drums are simple but do a lot in this song. I would not be able to keep that rhythm the entire time. Great classic and I am glad I finally gave it the attention I should have long ago.

[cdfdesantis]

This band has a TON of hits. Lead singer Eric Burdon has one of the most distinctive voices in rock 'n' roll. Thanks for your reaction.

[lindaparker]

Eric Burdon was called the "bad boy" of rock and the group had a number of hits in the day. This was considered the biggest of their hit songs.

[freeandretired]

In a time when the Beatles were all over the map, the Animals poked their noses in with this gem of a song. Great tune and reaction. Thank you.

[josephinemonahan]

Yes...Chas Chandler, the bassist discovered Jimi Hendrix playing in a club in New York....brought him to England...put him up in a hotel and then became Jimi’s is an old New Orleans song....about a brothel run by Madame Marianne Le Soleil Levant...translated, her last name means “The Rising Sun”....by the way the singer, Eric Burdon was 23 years old when this was recorded🤩
