The Animals bio je iznimno popularan engleski blues sastav ranih 1960-ih, nakon izbacivanja svog planetarnog hita House of the Rising Sun. Animalsi su bili izuzetno popularni i u Americi te bili jedni od glavnih protagonista Britanska invazije.
Njihova posebnost bila je uspješna reinterpretacija američkih blues standarda, uz pomalo napukli glas frontmana grupe pjevača Erica Burdona, čisti tremolo električne gitare i hammond orgulje Alana Pricea. Nakon velike popularnosti koju je sastav uživao 2 godine, Animalsi su se raspali 1966., pjevač Eric Burdon preselio se u Kaliforniju i sa novom grupom Eric Burdon & the Animals, nastavio relativno uspješnu karijeru okrenuvši se psihodeličnom rocku. Sastav se nakon toga u dva navrata ponovno okupio, ali više nije uspio povratiti staru slavu.
Orginalna prva postava Animalsa
Grupa je osnovana u radničkom gradu na sjeveru Engleske Newcastlu između 1962 i 1963 kad se pjevač Eric Burdon pridružio već postojećem sastavu Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo. Prva orginalna i najbolja postava sastava bila je; Eric Burdon (pjevač), Alan Price (orgulje), Bryan "Chas" Chandler (bas gitara), Hilton Valentine - (gitara) i John Steel (bubnjevi) Ime životinje (animals) dali su im obožavatelji zbog divljih nastupa. Uspješni nastupi na plesnjacima (Club-A-Gogo) u rodnom gradu na kojima su svirali vlastite obrade starijih američkih blues standarda, došli su do ušiju tada uticajnog rock manadžera Giorgia Gomelskog koji ih je nagovorio da se presele u London 1964, i potpišu ugovor sa njegovom izdavačkom kućom Columbia Records. Iste godine u martu snimili su svoj prvi singl Baby Let Me Take You Home (orginalna pjesma američkih autora Bert Russella & Wes Farrella zvala se "Baby Let Me Follow You Down")
Već u lipnju 1964 Animalsi su snimili svoj treći singl koji im je donio svjetsku slavu - obradu narodne balade House of the Rising Sun. U studenom 1964, sastav je imao američki debut nastupivši u tv emisiji The Ed Sullivan Show i nakon toga kraću turneju po Americi. U prosincu iste godine Animalsi su nastupili zajedno s tada popularnim britanskim sastavom The Dave Clark Five u američkom filmu za tinejdžere Metro-Goldwyn-Mayera Get Yourself a College Girl u kojem su otpjevali pjesmu Chuck Berrya, Around and Around.
Od svibnja 1965 počinju problemi u grupi, prvi je sastav napustio Alan Price, jer mu se nije sviđao glazbeni pravac koji je grupa odabrala, a nije volio ni letjeti avionom na brojne turneje. On je u početku uspješno nastavio svoju karijeru u vlastitom triju - Alan Price Set. Umjesto njega na orguljama prvo je zasvirao Mick Gallagher, ali je ubrzo zamijenjen sa Dave Rowberryem koji je svirao na njihovom hitu "We Gotta Get out of This Place" i "It's My Life". Dobar dio tadašnjih hitova Animalsa bio je odabir američkih blues standarda koje im je nabavljao njihov tadašnji producent Mickie Most koje su u njihovoj novoj obradi postale hitovi; Bring It On Home To Me (autor: Sam Cooke), Don't Let Me Be Missunderstood (autor: Nina Simone), Boom Boom (autor: John Lee Hooker), I Believe to My Soul (autor: Ray Charles).
Više od bilo kojeg popularnog britanskog sastava iz šezdesetih, Animalsi su bili pod utjecajem američkoga rhythm and bluesa kojeg su uspješnom obradom ponovno plasirali kao novu robu u Ameriku. No Animalsi nisu bili zadovoljni prihodom (varao ih je tadašnji menedžer Michael Jeffery), a niti sa krutim stavom producenta Mickie Mosta, tako da je pri kraju 1965 grupa promijenila izdavača i otišla u Decca Records novom producentu Tomu Wilsonu, koji im je dao puno više kreativne slobode. Početkom 1966 izdali su kompilacijski album The Best of The Animals za američku kuću MGM Records, to je bio i ostao njihov najbolje prodavani album, istina tih godina albumi su se tek pojavili i nisu bili niti dobro prodavana roba a niti baš cijenjena - to je bilo razdoblje singl ploča.
Orginalna postava Animalsa još se više osipala 1966. kad ih je napustio bubnjar John Steel, kojeg je zamjenio Barry Jenkins. S njim su snimili obradu američkog standarda Don't Bring Me Down (autori: Gerry Goffin & Carole King) to je bio posljednji hit sastava The Animals. Nakon tog snimili su singl See See Rider ali pod imenom Eric Burdon & the Animals. U rujnu te iste godine sastav The Animals se i službeno raspao, a pjevač Eric Burdon izdao je vlastiti solo album, pod imenom Eric Is Here.
"The Story Of Bo Diddley"
Now lets hear the story of Bo Diddley and the Rock n Roll scene in general
Bo Diddley was born Elias McDaniels in a place called McCoom,
Missississipi about 1926
He moved to Chicago about 1938
Where his name was eventually changed to Bo Diddley
He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night
Till his papa's hair began to turn white
His Pa said Son, listen hear, I know
You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go
So he pulled his hat down over his eyes
Headed out for them Western Skies
I think Bob Dylan said that
He hit New York City
He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem
Good scene there everybody raving
One day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lights
Came a man with a big, long, fat, cigar said, C'mere son, I'm gonna make you a star
Bo Diddley said, Uh..whats in it for me?
Man said, Shut your mouth son , play the guitar and you just wait and see
Well, that boy made it, he made it real big
And so did the rest of the rock n roll scene along with him
And a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm
He changed it into hand-jive and it went like this
In a little old country town one day
A little old country band began to play
Add two guitars and a beat up saxophone
When the drummer said, boy, those cats begin to roam
Oh baby oh we oh oh
Ooh la la that rock and roll
Ya hear me oh we oh oh
Ooh la la that rock and roll
Then in the U.S. music scene there was big changes made
Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola
The rock n roll scene died after two years of solid rock and you got discs like,
Ah...
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue and so forth
About, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in England
Four young lads with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like, ah...
It's been a hard days night and I;ve been working like a dog and so on
In a place called Richmond in Surrey, whay down in the deep south
They got guys with long hair down their back singing
I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazz
Now we've doing this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time now
Bo Diddley visited this country last year
We were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle, our home town
The doors opened one night and to our surprise walked in the man himself, Bo Diddley
Along with him was Jerome Green, his maraca man, and the Duchess, his gorgeous sister
And a we were doing this number
Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats,
They're all standing around diggin' it
And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin'
He turned around to Jermone Green
And he said, Hey, Jerome? What do you think these guys doin' our..our material?
Jerome said, Uh, where's the bar, man? Please show me to the bar...
He turned around the Duchess
And he said, Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys doin' our material?
She said, I don't know. I only came across here to see the changin' of the
Guards and all that jazz.
Well, Bo Diddley looked up and said to me, with half closed eyes and a smile,
He said Man, took off his glasses,
He said, Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish I ever heard in my life...
Hey Bo Diddley
Oh Bo Diddley
Yeah Bo Diddley
Oh Bo Diddley
Yeah Bo Diddley
