The Animals record “House Of The Rising Sun” in one take at De Lane Lea Studios on Kingsway in London. The song would top the UK singles chart the following July and reach number one in America two months later. In 1999, the record was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award
Sky pilot was also the Animals? How did I not know that??
Eric Burdon’s wife left him for Jimi Hendrix.
The guitarist for The Animals was Andy Summer who went on to The Police.
The bassist was Chas Chandler who left to manage Jimi Hendrix and Slade.
Eric Burdon was the Eggman in the Beatles I am the Walrus. There are two stories confirming it. One is from Malcolm McDowell with Eric being at Lennon’s house for breakfast, and one story is racy. Although both stories could be true with the common thread being Lennon calling Burdon the Eggman.
