I always liked this lesser known Animals song

[dashenka_l]

My God! What a voice!😳And of course the song is awesome, especially for the 60s🔥

[tominnc]

Pure greatness. 1964 lol. One of the great Ed Sullivan performances ever. Live

As a 14 year old, just learning guitar and living in Franconia, Virginia, watching this in the rec room with them playing the entire song LIVE, in that moment of time, completely, utterly, exploded my mind forever. By the time the 3rd verse came around and Eric delivers his intense vocal, I became a life long fan of The Animals. John Steel plays part Bo Diddley and part Surf: incredible. Thank you Lord for allowing me to live long enough to see this again. Amen.

[martinbench]

For a couple of years, the best band on the planet

[ahappynigerian]

Perhaps one of the most energetic performances of this band ever, especially compared to their other Ed Sullivan appearances

[Tylerboyd]

Chas Chandler deserves more praise as a bassist and a singer. He had a great voice.

[katrinavang]

The amount of self confidence that he presented was intoxicating!

I was down the high street and a young guy 14or 15 was listening to them it mad me smile it just shows they are still amazing, evertime Erik Burton.sings. It sounds different every time you won't get anyone on x factor like them

[Miles_ethan]

That drummer is working harder than a single dad with 5 kids to support and no money in the bank.

One of the few bands who were solid enough to play live without a backing track or having to lip synch. Thanks Mr Ed Sullivan for giving a spot to all those fabulous bands and performers.

I always felt the UK has the best bands and singers and this is definitely one of them. Love, love, love 😀The Animals and still enjoying them at age 73. 💚💙💜👍

[turntheradioon]

We don't have any bands like this

[BethCollier]

Love love love this! And Eric was only 23 right? How fantastic was he! I am just overwhelmed by this performance.

[oldrvr]

What a cute kid he was, along with being a great singer!

[hanno-erdmanntietz]

This is their original line-up with organist Alan Price.
'I'm Crying' reached no. 8 in the UK.
