    This is before autotune, chorus effects, multitracking of vocals or reverb effects. Pure talent. In the studio, they recorded the song in a single take.

      Actually Les Paul & Mary Ford were mastering multi-tracking vocals in the early l95os, creating the effect of many Mary Fords all singing together like a little choir.
      You are, however, otherwise absolutely correct and your point well taken. Most electronic gadgetry that is taken for granted today did not yet exist and the artists who made up the British Invasion, like musicians everywhere else around the world, hadn't any choice but to rely much more heavily on their pure musical ability, skill, selection of material and artistic vision to achieve success.
      Those who were very fortunate, like The Beatles, were additionally able to secure artistic management - not to tell them what to do or sound like, but to compliment their already existing vision & make it happen.
      It's refreshing to run across others here on YT who really see, hear, and appreciate these artists for the raw talent they had.😉

      But House of the Rising Sun was done in a single take in the studio with the band and no post production. So reverb probably wasn't used here, unless they stuck the vocals through a guitar amp.

    • @Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55
      @Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 11 месяцев назад +1

      @spacecadet35 they used to record live with reverb in the 60s, it wasn't always done afterwards. The vocals would be sent to a chamber built somewhere in the studio, back to the mixing desk and recorded live that way. That's why you get all those 60s records done live with chamber and plate reverbs, as you can clearly hear on his voice here. This song was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios which definitely was a place you would record live with reverb chambers. Not to mention things slap back delay was being used on 50s records in places like Sun Studios, by having the vocals on 2 tape reels, playing around 100 milliseconds apart, creating a delay/reverb effect.

    "Wow, what a nice group of young men." I loved that reaction. Haha. They're an interesting group, in that they were immensely popular in the sixties (at their height, we're talking near-Beatles-level popularity), but massive problems within the group caused them to fall apart and they've sort of slipped into obscurity. Just in case you're curious, here's a quick rundown on what happened: when they were just getting started, and were naive and not particularly knowledgeable about things like contracts and royalties, they signed the contracts in such a way that Alan Price (the keyboardist) received all the royalties. They thought they would simply split them amongst everyone, but Price played them and took it all. The big bassist, Chas Chandler, became disillusioned, because they were working their tails off but didn't seem to be making any money (see above). He came across a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix, however, and became the man's manager, bringing him out to the UK where his career caught fire. Chandler introduced Hendrix to the lead singer, Eric Burdon, and the two became close friends. Burdon was utterly devastated when Hendrix died, and things fell apart further. Chandler, however, decided he was done with playing, and went on to a career as a manager and talent scout before dying at a fairly young age. The drummer, John Steel, left the group and joined up with another band. They renamed themselves... The Animals. The other band members did not take kindly to this, and they severed all contact with Steel. Price took all of his profits and ran off to a fairly successful solo career. Burdon approached him much later and tried to bury the hatchet, telling him that he could keep all the profits, but to allow them to restructure the contracts so that all future royalties would be divided amongst the band, and they could then all get back together. Price told him to go take a long walk off a short pier, and again, all contact was severed. Burdon went on to a successful career with other bands, most notably the psychedelic rock band, War. Hilton Valentine jumped around, and still does so, even at his age. He and Burdon are the only two members still on speaking terms, and the original Animals have long, long been separated. There you have it. Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but I always found it to be an interesting story, and a good explanation for why so many people have never heard of this once-popular band.

    The Animals are from Newcastle-Upon-Thyme in the UK. They had a strong R&B influence from the USA, which you probably noticed. Others have already pointed them out, but a couple of tracks you need to check out from the Animals are "We got to get out of this place" & "Please Don't Let Me be Misunderstood". The lead singer also went on to form another group, Eric Burden & War, which later was shortened to just War.. A few good tracks are "Spill the Wine", "Tobacco Road" and "Paint it Black"...

    This was my favorite song of all time while in my teens and 20's. Interesting fact: When I was reading about the history of Seattle, Washington, I read that when the city would take their census back in the 1800's, the many prostitutes working there would state that their occupation was "seamstress". For me, this was an explanation for the weird line, "My mother was a tailor.....sewed my new blue jeans.....my father was a gambling man....." During an interview Eric Burton explained that this "song" had been played in taverns since, at least, the 1920's - maybe earlier. But it was primarily instrumental with just a few lines for the singer. Also, it was mainly sung about a woman - trying to escape her unfortunate heritage and failing. She had to return to the House of the Rising Sun. Eric said they filled out the verses to balance all the instrumental and, of course, the subject of the song became a man. So much amazing original music came out of the 1960's. A fantastic time to be in high school. However, even among Animal fans, I never hear anyone recommending the next best song from Eric Burton - "When I Was Young". Fantastic.

    “The House of the Rising Sun” is an old American folk song. Rock and roll was heavily inspired by Black American folk tunes, blues, and jazz. The British variant also had some Indian influence, due to their own history (look up the East India Trading Company if you’re bored and/or in quarantine).
    This particular song was about (depending on your interpretation) a kid whose father frequented “The House of the Rising Sun,” a popular brothel in NOLA. Needless to say, he was likely born far out of wedlock. His mother had to survive as a tailor; and while he knew his father, he was absent, paying child support by gambling whenever he wasn’t on a drunk.
    However, the main character himself fell into the latter of nature versus nurture. He went to the Rising Sun and impregnated a hooker. Since that meant she’d be fired, he eventually decided to “wear that ball and chain” and get on a train to New Orleans to provide for his accidental new family. It was a ruin of this poor boy, and God knows he’s one.
    The Animals might have the most famous cover of this song, but there have been recorded versions forty years older, and I’m sure those weren’t by the composers.

    The Animals were a UK Rock band with an R & B influenced sound. They were contemporaries with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Yardbirds. They had several hit songs, such as "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life", "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place", and "See See Rider". Eric Burdon was the lead singer, and is still alive, recording, and touring. In 1970, Burdon joined a US Funk/Soul band named War, and had a hit song , entitled "Spill The Wine". They had a great performance of the song on the West German TV music program, "Beat Club". Here is a link to that TV performance here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/3i0DMbCKnAg/видео.html

    They were just a bunch of young kids from England, but what talent! 1964, a year after the Beatles conquered America, so they were dressed up in suits like the Beatles. Magnificent song, great vocals and incredible organ playing, a real classic of the mid-sixties. Cheers

    This song is an American folk song from an unknown artist in 1930. During the 50's and 60's blues and folk was losing popularity in the states for motown and R&B. But it was still played on american GI bases in europe. People in Britain never heard it before and loved it. It spoke to the working classes, particularly in the north of England where the animals are from (Durham). The communities there at the time were facing serious massive coal mine layoffs and poverty. Blues from the states spoke to them and they treated it almost like a religion. The animals did a really good cover of this folk song.

    Imagine the impact in ,,, 1964.
    The high quality vision is from the UK colour movie film Pop Gear filmed in 64 released in 65. US re titled as Go Go Mania.
    No colour TV in UK in 64 and no audience in this.
    Film gave the great image quality, but dubbed sound was what audiences wanted to be like the record. Simpler too.
    Lots of Clips of Pop Gear on RUclips with a search.
    Some with Intro by dodgy TV UK host who when he died his family pulled the headstone down, such was his depravity.

    The lead singer went on to front the band War for their first few albums. The other big Animals' songs are:
    We Gotta Get Out of This Place
    It's My Life
    Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
    Don't Bring Me Down
    ...and quite a few others.
    This song is old and was originally written from a female perspective about a young girl getting sweet-talked by a man into leaving home, only to end up supporting his drinking and gambling ways by working in a house of prostitution--The House of the Rising Sun--where she "wears the ball and chain" as the song says. Thought you'd like to know.

    The Animals' guitarist Hilton Valentine, best known for the iconic opening riff on the English rock band's arrangement of "The House of the Rising Sun," has died at the age of 77. 29th January 2021. R.I.P. Keyboard player Alan Price has a fear of flying, and as he travelled the world performing his 60s hits he was gripped with the constant fear of flying.
    He had to have a shot of vodka before he could even step on a plane.“I once did a tour of 70 cities so that meant 70 vodkas!” said Alan, whose keyboard wizardry turned the Animals into a household name. It was one of the reasons he left the band in 1965.

Eric Bourdon, John Steel, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine & Alan Price (the original members) just added a little spice to an old old old African-American folk song. Many famous singers sang it but Eric and Alan changed it a bit and it became a hit in the early 60’s. The original band members are or were from Britain.
