I thought this would have been boring, but it was very interesting and insightful. These guys are hilarious too, especially Eric. The Animals will always be one of my favorite bands.
I graduated high school in 1969, but I was not really into rock and roll like everyone else, believe it or not I liked Johnny Mathis, I did like Janice Joplin, and Jo Cocker. My sister loved the Animals, House of the Rising sun. Of course I had heard the song but didn't have an opinion about it. Anyway, not long ago I saw the video of them singing House of the Rising Sun, and it just became an obsession with me the way that Eric presented himself, like the way he expressed himself, when he walked toward the camera, (the early 60's) the ones later that he did could not be compared to this one. You know, I wondered how they felt about being on the Ed Sullivan show, which was the Big Time !
I believe that the lovely brunette girl, wearing the denim jacket, standing with Eric at the end of the video when he’s walking out is his “then” girlfriend Marianna, and is “now” his lovely wife of 22 years. Good for him!
