LYRICS There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's all drunk Oh mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one

The song was picked up and made into a #1 hit by The Animals in 1964. But as to the original writer? It seems many people made various contributions to this song over the past few centuries, musically and lyrically, making it what it is today. The version we're familiar with is a story about a brothel in New Orleans named after Madame Marianne Le Soleil Levant, which is French for "Rising Sun." The brothel opened in 1862 when Union Troops occupied the town and closed in 1874 when the town received too many complaints by neighbors. Eric Victor Burdon (born 11 May 1941) is an English singer-songwriter and actor. He is regarded as one of the British Invasion's most distinctive singers with his deep, powerful blues-rock voice. Alan Price (born 19 April 1942) is an English musician, who was the original keyboardist for the British band The Animals, and who is also known for his subsequent solo work. They were dubbed "animals" reportedly because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck. In a 2013 interview, Eric Burdon denied this, stating it came from a gang of friends with whom they used to hang out, one of whom was "Animal" Hogg, and the name was intended as a kind of tribute to him. Other hits: "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down", "I'm Crying", "See See Rider", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US.

It's an old folk song. Eric was 23 when he sang this. He was in love with New Orleans before he left England. The song is about a brothel. They were in their early 20's. Alan Price was the organist. He received all the royalties from the song due to shoddy management and his name being the only one on the record. Eric Burdon fell in love with blues because he lived in a poor port town and he had access to American records. He would imagine the river in his town as the Mississippi river. This guy lived a shitty life. Pollution from coal mining, no money. He felt the pain blues singers felt. It became his style.

It's an old blues song. A lot of early British bands rediscovered a lot of these earlier songs and revamped them.This song is either about a gambling house or a house of ill repute. Not sure which They look to be in their early 20's at that time. Back then most of the artists in rock bands started out really early learning instruments and played a lot of venues. As in the guys from the band Rush all of them started playing instruments at the age of 13. They were in bands through their teenage years and played high school events until they were old enough to play in bars. That was the reality of most bands back then. You worked your butt off to get ahead. Eric Burton who is the lead singer for the Animals has a voice that sounded much older than his years. ✌🇨🇦

Newcastle Upon Tyne which is close to the border with Scotland is where he grew up. A gritty, urban, port city working class area with factories, longshoremen from the docks, railway working and lorry driving. He said he learned his love of music from the delivery of records and material from the United States. "All black delivery of soul, jazz and blues artists I loved and tried to incorporate into my song repertoire." He named a *lot* of older black blues/soul artists even Lead Belly. He referred to it as a "white" ghetto with the poor housing and slums and low opportunities for jobs. Referring to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones he remarked that England isn't *that* big and the only main city was London. They'd go into a club and they would be in one corner and the Beatles and Stones the other two corners.

Eric Burdon was 23, Hilton Valentine the guitarist was about 21 (the youngest), Chas Chandler the bass guitarist was the oldest at about 26, John Steel the drummer was about 24 and Alan Price the keyboardist was somewhere around that age too. But actually, thinking about it, the recording was from 1964 and those were their ages, but this was a 1965 film (lipsynching to the original recording). This was recorded in one take, about 30 minutes early in teh morning in London while on tour with Chuck Berry. They were in NY in 1966 appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show when they met a young back up guitarist named Jimmy James. Chas Chandler went to hear his band play in Greenwich Village and became his manager and took him to England. Of course that was Jimi Hendrix. Hilton Valentine supposedly came up with the name The Experience, Jimi and Eric Burdon were very close (His first wife left him for Jimi and one of Jimi's girlfriends left him for Eric Burdon. Jimi jammed with Eric Burdon and War the night before he died, and Eric was called in to clean up the scene the next morning after Jimi was discovered dead. So there.

Eric Burdon, the lead singer was in his early 20's at the time this was made and all of them are from the North of England. Song is about the multi-generational cycle of gambling in impoverised families of New Orleans in the early 1900's. The POV of the singer is of a gambling addict that has followed in the footsteps of his father. 'The House of the Rising Sun' is a gambling den. The song is based on an earlier song from the US sung by a woman or group of women, hence the focus on New Orleans, and is sung from a different point of view (usually of a woman working at the House of the Rising Sun).

@@dubzer0649 clear because it was filmed and not videotape. Mimed from their one take recording.This clip was filmed in 1964 or 65 as part of a UK colour film called Pop Gear for paying theatre release. This explains the early high quality color images we luckily have for this mimed from the record performance and also a few other top UK only music artists from when the film was made. KZfaq has quite a few segments from this UK movie Pop Gear with the US contribution being to re title it Go Go Mania and add a few intro segments to satisfy the US audience. A KZfaq search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments : kzfaq.info?search_query=pop+gear+go+go+mania The intro by TCM explains the background of the film. While some of these segments were likely to be shown on US Colour TV much later , the source would originally be this high quality film. Rising Sun is the standout, but the Honeycombs with Have I the Right is a landmark too, In 1964 images not recorded on film would be much lower quality videotape, not the notable quality images used here. Especially with the inferior US NTSC standards often called Never The Same Colour. So lucky the film was made instead of relying on low standard video tape recordings that were usually taped over anyway to save tape cost money or made by filming a TV screen with poor quality results. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. A better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source in KZfaq postings these days. These films mainly used mimed performances as the vast majority of theatre audiences wanted to hear the music performance as they knew it from the records. Hope this helps people who have the colorized and vidoetape theories that usually pop up.

All of them were in their early twenties. This house is said to be a brothel where a whole lot of drinking, gambling and prostitution went on throughout the years. It was completely shut down after just 12 years of being in business; due to the neighbors' complaints!

The story of the song is hundreds of years old (some might say) and it has sooo many variations.. - The house of the rising Sun - you should check it The Animals have the most recognizable one and gained international fame when they launched it :)

The song goes back to the 1860s, originally sung from a woman's point of view being caught in the life in a brothel. Eric Burdon, the singer, changed it to a man's point of view, since he ws singing it.

It’s about a gambling addiction. How a gambling addiction is a “ball and a chai.” How it ruins your life. The singer here had a very rough childhood growing up in the UK by the shipyards in a rough neighborhood.

Eric burden was the lead singer and Alan price played the organ. I believe they were the best at what they did in the 60s era.

The reason they are walking is it is a funeral procession, like the old ones in New Orleans. THE FUNERAL IS HIS, he is going back to Orleans to a brothel (Rising Sun) and alcohol addiction (Ball and Chain), like his father had done. He is somber in the video because he is dead inside. He has 1 foot on the platform, and 1 foot on the train, going back to New Orleans. The song is haunting and sad because he is lost, he isn't coming back.

These British groups were influenced by American blues and they used the blues to create new forms of music. Read up on the "British Invasion" to learn how that black man's music, with the help of millions of white kids, became an international phenomena. React to "Hobo Blues" by John Lee Hooker (live) thank you thumbs up!

He's singing about a guy who spent his life in a brothel, gambling and sinning. His father was a gambler and he did the same as his father and ruined his life. He's addicted to that lifestyle, hence his reference to the ball and chain. He can't give it up.

Clear because of film for theatre release not the junk videotape of 1964. Mimed from their one take recording.This clip was filmed in 1964 or 65 as part of a UK colour film called Pop Gear for paying theatre release. This explains the early high quality color images we luckily have for this mimed from the record performance and also a few other top UK only music artists from when the film was made. KZfaq has quite a few segments from this UK movie Pop Gear with the US contribution being to re title it Go Go Mania and add a few intro segments to satisfy the US audience. A KZfaq search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments : kzfaq.info?search_query=pop+gear+go+go+mania The intro by TCM explains the background of the film. While some of these segments were likely to be shown on US Colour TV much later , the source would originally be this high quality film. Rising Sun is the standout, but the Honeycombs with Have I the Right is a landmark too, In 1964 images not recorded on film would be much lower quality videotape, not the notable quality images used here. Especially with the inferior US NTSC standards often called Never The Same Colour. So lucky the film was made instead of relying on low standard video tape recordings that were usually taped over anyway to save tape cost money or made by filming a TV screen with poor quality results. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. A better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source in KZfaq postings these days. These films mainly used mimed performances as the vast majority of theatre audiences wanted to hear the music performance as they knew it from the records.

One of the reasons all of the rockers of that era are young is because rock-and-roll was baby boomer music. Do the math. The soldiers came home in 1945 and started having babies by 1946. This is 1964. Pretty much the oldest they could be is early 20s.

@@dubzer0649 oh absolutely brother my dad was born in 57 my mom in 60 me in 84 I grew up listening to what they did they had 8-track tapes and records. Groups like that there voices was so natural in the 60's 70's and 80's was unreal. That song beat the beatles and became number one. The Gentry's has a song called keep on dancing in 1965 that became number one. There is a guy in that band his name is Jimmy heart guess what he became a manager of the heart foundation The honky tonk Man Greg the hammer Valentine The nasty boys in wwf/ wwe. Also had the righteous Brothers and the birds and other bands that had natural voices back then that could really sing one person that can come close in singing like that would be kid rock. Because he started in early 90's again it was amazing back then.

I used to play this song on my guitar in the mid 1960s when I was a teenager. This is a folk song with the earliest known recording of this going back to the 1930s thought it is probably much older than that. In my folk song fake book that I had in the 60s there were at least 20 verses to this song. Anyway, they did not write this song, it was just a cool song so they recorded it. (I don't know if that is why they recorded the song, it just seems a likely reason).

They were in their early 20's. The song was a very old folk song. Originally it was about a young woman, ensnared into prostitution in the Brothel, known as the Rising Sun. over the years the lyrics changed . Now about a Young man, in a Gambling/ illegal drinking den.

The singer was 19 when he recorded the song. There already existed technology to record with great quality and fidelity in the 60s, it was just very expensive. A tv show that could film in colour back then had a big enough budget to also present high fidelity sound. The authorship of this song is much debated, the best bet is that the author is lost to history. It emerged as a sort of pre-blues traditional song in the 1920s, it was later revived in the very early 60s when Bob Dylan made his cover and a few years later The Animals got a crack at it too, which is this cover you watched and which became the definitive version of this song.

Actually this house is still standing down in New Orleans. It's said to be a brothel where a whole lot of gambling, drinking and prostitution went on! it only stayed open for 12 years; since the neighbors complained and it got shut down! So you see what's behind all that story here!

I was born in 1965 and this is one of the first songs I remember my older brothers would play their cars, I must’ve been 3 or 4. They had 8 track players in their muscle cars. I had the best music growing up, my childhood was the 70’s and than my teen years and my 20’s was the Amazing 80’s. ✌️🤘🏻 This looks like it’s been remastered. I just looked it up, The phrase "House of the Rising Sun" is often understood as a euphemism for a brothel, but it is not known whether the house described in the lyrics was an actual or a fictitious place. One theory is that the song is about a woman who killed her father, an alcoholic gambler who had beaten his wife.
