And their was me thinking that The Animals write and sang this originally. Well another theory bites the dust lol.

@samusic160 Silly you, don't you know that virtually all white rock and roll bands from the sixties including the rolling stones, the animals, and the doors ripped off of earlier black artists, usually giving them no credit or money for it.

@idiotgarageband They are folk songs, that's what folk artists do. Before the Beatles the songs were what were big not the artists. You would frequently have some of the major bands all playing the same songs.

[AryaStark567]

Well, to be fair,House of the Rising Sun was based on a very old folk song in Europe from the 1600's about a brothel. It traveled to the US, & eventually came to be re-interpreted to have its roots placed in New Olreans, as the song name & lyrics suggest. It has no known author anymore, given its age, so really, everyone who plays it is just playing a lovely old folk song. This isn't even the first recording of the song, though its a great rendition!! The first was by Clarence Ashley in the 20's

Louisiana native Huddy "Leadbelly" Ledbetter & RobertJohnson from Mississippi single handley birthed rock'n roll.

[thenamesfrancisco]

i dont like this song in a major key

[MrJimmienoone]

Am I so drunk or does he do it in something like a waltz rhythm?

[LookitsLolWizard]

@mord58 wasnt he a slave from the south?

[mord58]

Huddy Leadbetter was a genius.

@MrNxjohn Please excuse me as I attempt to translate your incoherent banter. Where the hell are the quotation marks? Looks like someone needs to up the Seroquel dosage. ...........What ever you say buddy. Lol

[BrenTheGorgeous]

@MrNxjohn You have no musical culture.
