Alan Price (born April 19, 1942, Fatfield, Sunderland, County Durham) is a British musician, best known as the original keyboardist for the English band The Animals and his solo work.

Price is a self-taught musician and was educated at Jarrow Grammar School, South Tyneside and was a founding member of the Tyneside group The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, which was later renamed The Animals. His organ playing on "House of the Rising Sun", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "Bring It On Home To Me" was a key element in success of the group.

After leaving the Animals Price went onto to have solo success on his own and with Georgie Fame. He introduced the songs of Randy Newman to a wider audience. Later he appeared on his own television show and made television guest appearances. He also had success with film scores and acting parts.

More recently Price performed and recorded with The Electric Blues Company and has made other appearances with other artists such as a line derived from Manfred Mann known as The Manfreds.

This is a slice of pure English insanity - circa 1967(?). I don't know whether to laugh or cry.... It conjures up memories of third bardo dance parties with jaded, wrecked chicks in mini skirts and wasted dudes in turtlenecks smoking too many cigarettes and taking too many of the wrong pills dancing like buzzed-out robots! Wow. What a nutty, obscure, nearly totally meaningless tack. Thanks - I think....

One of the first singles I had when I was a kid back in the early 70s. Great to hear it here, instead of a Mickey Mouse phonograph, which always seemed to ruin records.
