@CardyUSM Yes and not too long before he left either! I want to upload the studio version of this because his organ licks made the song and they just aren't coming through quite the same way here. He had a touch no one else has ever duplicated.
this song connects to your soul. Eric Burdon and his voice are just so breathtaking. it's perfect. Eric was a cutie back then :) too gorgeous for words. this song is too perfect for words ♥
@alijake555 The Animals are from Newcastle in England and were one of the British groups who went over to America along with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones etc.
The Animals songs/vids I saw tonight convince me they rank right up there with the greatest. Not talking about just the big hits. Talking about the total body of work from 64-66. Im a big Beatles and Rolling Stones guy-Animals take a back seat to no one.
God, I love Eric's voice!! I was fortunate enough to see them live on their last tour before they broke up in 1966. This is the best cover/version of this song ever.
The late, great Sam Cooke WROTE and recorded this composition, NOT Wilson PIckett. Lou Rawls provided the backing vocals on the original recording. No one had, or ever will have, the singing voice, and style of Sam Cooke!

Another great performance by Eric -- But it is so weird how the women are used as "props". Talk about "objects" -- sheeesh. Thank goodness for Women's Liberation!
1 of the guitar players @ 1:17 is very talented...at the end of House of the Risin Sun, he has air in his cheeks induced probably by cannabis in the morning without breakfast...here he's got style with his diamond ring and diamond bracelet which sparkles & colours this otherwise black and white footage. The chorus with 3 talented The Animals singers (at 2:00) is better than a lot of the Beatles' choruses.
There is Cindy McCain at 1:18- 1:20 ! This would have been around the time John got shot down over north viet nam.
