Auto tune isn’t primarily used to change a singers voice entirely. Mainly it’s used in pitch correction. In live performances, most artists can’t stay in key ALL the time, so recordings have pitch correction (auto tune)

Listen to We gotta get out of this place a Vietnam classic loved by all those who served at that time.

Autotune wasn't invented until 1997.Prior to that any live recordings were just that. Singers had to be good or they would be found out.

Wow that’s such an interesting backstory. Thank you for telling us 🦭

Many have called this the greatest recording in rock & roll history, and it wa a huge hit in the 1960s. However, keep in mind that, in the video, they were just pretending to play. There was no wireless technology in those days, so for the guitar and bass to make sound, they had to be plugged into amplifiers, which would make it impossible for the players to walk around the studio. Eric Burden (the singer) was lip-synching, so that might be why he wasn't showing any strain to his voice. The song itself is a folksong, first collected by Alan Lomax in Kentucky in the 1930s, sung by a 14-year-old girl in Kentucky. A fair number of folk musicians had recorded it, and Dave van Ronk had worked out the chord progression used by the Animals (but never shared in any royalties). Note, however, that in this version, Eric Burden changed one word from the original lyrics: It's been the ruin of many a poor *girl*. You see, the House of the Rising Sun was a house of prostitution. But, of course, Eric Burden couldn't sing "girl" on a song played on popular radio in the 1960s.

One of the greatest songs of all time. Eric Burdon also was lead singer for War. Spill The Wine is my favorite from that band. He is still alive. Born in 1941. Such an amazing singer.

Eric Burdon was 23 years old when this was recorded.

Eric Burdon is 82 and still performing!! React to Eric Burdon and War..."Spill the Wine"! The "grinning guitarist " is watching them move the organ! While it's being played!

I ALWAYS love to watch other people's, especially young people's reaction to the Animals , and other great bands and singers of the 50's, 60's, and even some of the 70's.

Our parents didn't like us listening to Eric Burden and The Animals. It wasn't just about the lyrics talking about a prison (which they misinterpreted as a ho house because there was one of the same name) but the grit and power of Eric's voice they thought was dangerous. They never said it was too sexy or what, but back then parents didn't have to give reasons. They just stated their views and that was it. Tobacco Road was one of my favorites. I mean, we did ride around in cars listening to AM radio and hearing what Mom and Dad didn't approve. 😂

`I can see for miles`, one of my absolute favourites ! Moooney!!!

That thing he did with voice that got you shook is called a cry. He went a bit deep in his tenor range to get that treble, but he doesn’t have to strain. He sounds like he can cross over into the baritone range easily which gives him at least a two octave range, although it’s probably bigger than that. Avi Kaplan, in our time can range from a very deep bass to a high baritone. If you’ve never listened to Pentatonix, check out their cover of “Hallelujah”. Between Avi’s bass - baritone range and Mitch Grassi’s tenor - countertenor range you will be astounded. And in this song, the cry Avi puts in his singing with break your heart.

This man’s voice is “Majestic “ The whole group plays effortlessly. When groups were “groups” Voice is absolutely Awesome, you can feel it in Your Soul

The kicker in this is when Alan Price levitates himself and the organ to the front of shot at the end of the song. This was the sort of thing we northerners could do back in the sixties, before Thatcher and all that.

I love watching/listening to you hear the songs of my youth. I remember that "House of the Rising Sun" was playing one evening while I was waiting in line at a drive-in in North Carolina (Marine Corps territory). Gives me the chills to watch you go back there. Stay good, Greg. You're a good one!

My favorite song of all times , since I was 7 years old and heard it new years eve 1970 for the first time that I can remember.

The Animals had a lot of great hit songs you should check out. Eric does have a powerful voice. In this video though he was lip syncing. You probably didn't notice it, but they moved the keyboard from the back of the room by the drummer to the front, during that last verse. ☺👍

Yes, 100% lipsynced. But that's always been a very common practice in television to this very day. Still, a fantastic song.

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

A voice from Newcastle. When this first came out in the UK I was blown away. The Beatles and Stones couldn't touch him. Great voice. The clash of egos broke up a great group.

you're right - pure tolant! and the clip is first class, even by today's standards.

There's no facial expressions because they're dubbing they're own track... Every music video you ever see these people are lip syncing to their own music

When do I shut up and eat healthy foods and getting strong? Where he was doing drugs at the house. It aroused the sun and we're saying it wrong. I'm marrying a poor boy and we're just becoming one of the many

Thank you so much for playing that and loving that music, it was pure talent an class hard to beat

I love that you love it. My dad is a Vietnam vet so this is my parents era. I grew up listening to this era of music in high rotation. A lot of deep soulful music came out from all cultures during this time like it was a message.

I love how he transitions between raspy, to soft and harmonious, you can see him playing with it. A true master, Joe Cocker and Bing Crosby had a love child

I still go to see Eric whenever he's in the area.

My mom always had 50's and 60's rock playing on the radio when I was growing up but I never heard this song until I was in my late teens. It hooked me and I never really understood why until I watched the reaction videos on youtube. Such beautiful music set to hard-rending lyrics with those raw vocals! I made sure my kids knew about this song while they were growing up.

I just stumbled upon this and want to point out the amazing electric organ player of The Animals in this song. He played beautifully, making it just flow so naturally with the song. This was the song that got me to listen to my step-dad's music and with my Grandma being Beatle Mania it effected how I view music so much. Loved your commentary on it.

Alan Price was the organist. He devised the whole arrangement for this song ("Trad arr Price" is the credit on the record label).

of course they look relaxed. everyone was stoned all the time back then. eric burden is a legend, and musical genius.

Its funny but years back as a teenager listening to him….and we took it for granted the way he performed so effortlessly- Im 72 now and still appreciate their sound. …..although I also love ACDC…a little different delivery 🤣

Many a night listening to these guys...round a fire half snapped...real voices..off tge charts talent!!!

Yeah, and Eric has ( he's still with us) such a small frame and that voice roars out. Superb band. Chas Clarkson , the bass player, discovered Jimi Hendrix and Eric became his best friend.

The craziest thing about this? Is that The Animals are an English band, that famously covered a song, supposedly based on American folklore. The 60s and the years that followed, really marked a time where the English “invaded” America’s music scene. With songs that harkened to that rock and roll American sound, but with their own European spin on it. Songs like this from The Animals, Queen, and more, were inspired by American stories, figures, or outright channeled Rock and roll and other music that originated in America/the West. Harnessing that sound, with their own unique style, bands like The Animals, Beatles, and Queen, captivated audience from either side of the pond. It’s flattering, but also incredible how much both countries inspired each other. Especially musically/creatively.

Pure talent...One of my favorites..Eric- great voice/ & band great...
