Eric Burdon

Eric Burdon we probably know the bad - or do not know at all. But at least one of them songs sung known literally all. Even 10-12 years ago, she was actively singing in the courtyards of the guitar - in Russian. Now that's not singing for some reason. Still, the ballad House Of The Rising Sun, or "House of the Rising Sun" - one of the major tracks in the history of the first ten years of the rock. And maybe in the history of rock music in general.

Spell it exactly Eric Burdon of own group Animals, sang a way that still takes my soul, and it was as much in 1965. Branded audio group - a combination of a transparent body of Alan Price and tin, but tender throats Burdon - giving a striking effect, at times it seemed that the "Beasts" is about to catch up and overtake the Beatles themselves. But this, thank God, did not happen - Berdon, in addition to voices, yet have low growth, bad character and leadership ambitions - because first, most successful, the group soon broke. Alan Price took up his own career, and Burdon began to gain in the branded Animals variety of musicians - with himself at its head.
