Baby Animal Wallpaper Biography

This leading UK R&B band was formed in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, in 1963, when vocalist Eric Burdon (11 May 1941, Walker, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England), joined local R&B band the Alan Price Combo. The Animals comprised Alan Price (b. 19 April 1941, Fairfield, Co. Durham, England; piano), Hilton Valentine (b. 22 May 1943, North Shields, Tyne And Wear, England; guitar), John Steel (b. 4 February 1941, Gateshead, Co. Durham, England; drums) and Chas Chandler (b. Bryan James Chandler, 18 December 1938, Heaton, Tyne And Wear, England, d. 17 July 1996; bass). Valentine had previously played with the Gamblers, while Burdon had played trombone, together with Steel on trumpet, in college jazz bands.

With their raucous and exciting stage act, the Animals quickly attracted the attention of several music business entrepreneurs. R&B legend Graham Bond recommended them to his manager Ronan O’Rahilly. The band became stars at the legendary Club A-Go-Go in Newcastle. On one occasion they performed with Sonny Boy ‘Rice Miller’ Williamson (an album of this explosive gig was released many years later). By the end of 1963 they had moved to London and became an integral part of the fast-burgeoning club scene. After signing with producer Mickie Most, they debuted with the energetic ‘Baby Let Me Take You Home’ (a version of Eric Von Schmidt’s blues standard, ‘Baby Let Me Follow You Down’), which became a respectable hit. Their next release was to be both controversial and memorable. This four-and-a-half-minute pop song, about a New Orleans brothel, was at first resisted by their record company Columbia Records as being too long for radio play. Upon release, the record, Josh White’s ‘The House Of The Rising Sun’, leapt to the top of the charts all over the world, and eventually sold several million copies. The combination of Valentine’s now legendary but simplistic guitar introduction and Price’s shrill organ complemented Burdon’s remarkably mature and bloodcurdling vocal.
