As a bit more of balance: Burdon was a great and edgy vocalist ahead of his time, in a then groundbreaking band.

Point taken, but I doubt he’s a multi-millionaire as Alan Price gets all the royalties for Animals arrangement of House of the Rising Sun

Trad. Arranged: A Price.
It’s classed as ‘traditional’ with no recognised composer but Price took an arranging credit which meant he got paid for that as well for being on the record.

Don't know much about the man's life and if he is a knob head or not? But I do know he made this absolute beauty of a song with the tremendous funk band 'War'!!

I remember him once slagging Price off about the royalties.
He was saying he was from Wearside drank Double Maxim while we drank Newcastle Brown.
Prick.

Heard from a few sources that Price could be a twat as well !
At one time he lived in the Jarrow street that I was born and grew up in. He went to School in Jarrow and was obviously the brains of the operation in terms of the Animals (had the obvious advantage being a mlf), which was after all his band.

But Alan Price was a proper musician he could tinkle the ivories and read music and everything. Burdon on the other hand was just a singer. "Don't let me be misunderstood" was canny though.
Burdon used to tell a story of how in the early days Nina Simone telt him off for being a band of white boys and singing House of the Rising Sun. It must have been a bit scary that like - Nina was a very assertive woman.

(Oh claim to fame - I saw him and the Animals around 1963 through the window of the Biz Bar in Park Lane when I went passed with me Mam . I was only about 11 but I was right cool them days)

I saw him at the City Hall a year or so back and enjoyed the show. He’s still got a great voice and the set list was good.
As for Alan Price...MLF he may be but anyone who can come up with something like Simon Smith and his Dancing Bear has credibility issues in my eyes.

Randy Newman song.
We’re not doing well in identifying the composer on this thread are we?
