    Eric Burdon still sings and sounds incredible. The original in 1937 was sung by a woman about a brothel, but The Animals changed it to a gambler for American audiences. The original "House of the Rising Sun" was either a brothel or a jail, as both buildings were possible (having to do with the sun at the time) and it's not known which one they were referring to. It makes sense either way.
    Sending love to everyone from (not New Orleans), but Baton Rouge!! 💙

    Here in Greece we adore this legend and we are lucky to adore us back. He used to make every year appearances in Athens and he was still a badass vocally. His farewell big concert was in the ancient theatre of Herodes Atticus in 2019. He moved and lives in Athens since the pandemic. You can see him wandering everywhere, especially around Plaka region complaining about the crazy traffic and the bad roads. His third wife is also a Greek, so thats maybe, lol. 😆

    I read this was released in 1964 in the U.S., and that's when I first heard it. The story is that no one is sure who wrote the song, but it was covered many times over a long period of time. Some say it was known by American coal miners as early as 1905. I'm guessing that the best known version is the one we just watched with you. Thanks so much, and God bless you!

  • @aaronhaupert3015
    @aaronhaupert3015 День назад +2

    This is a very old song that predates the Animals by many years, they took Bob Dylan's version in 62' and made it into this in 64' (I think) and Bob Dylan took it from Dave Van Ronk who got it from many other blues and folk performers before him. The Animals switched it to a man/boy perspective while Dylan's was song from a female's, Dylan's is different than this, no electricity, but my god is it worth a listen, he covers it beautifully just like Eric Bourdon and the Animals do here! A look at where the song came from is diagnosed in youtube videos, it's very interesting actually, you could check that out as well.

  • @thevocalcrone

    i wonder if the reason why the newer generations don't know these songs is because even in the 80s and 90s we would go to the pub and there would be a juke box and there would always be these old classics on it, that toward the end of the night when everyone was in their 'cups' they would start singing with the juke box?

    Eric Burdon was a one-time winner of the best male blues vocalist awarded by Playboy Magazine decades ago. Another strong voice you may wish to check out - it will be a discovery! - is Chris Youlden of Savoy Brown. Dating back to the late 1960s, his work on the album, "Raw Sienna" is startling. Check out the song, "When I was a Young Boy." you can find it here on RUclips.
