🧓 THEN VS NOW: HOW OLD WERE THE ANIMALS?
🎤 In 1964, Eric Burdon was just 23 when he belted out House of the Rising Sun —
and the rest of the band? Just as young. Just as raw.
But it wasn’t just a hit.
This was the first music video of its kind.
One take. One organ riff.
And one very quiet betrayal by Alan Price that still echoes today.

BOLLOCKS.

He was just a kid when they handed him the mic.
Now, six decades later, he’s still singing the same song.
But this time… it hits different.
Eric Burdon on life, time, and the song he could never escape —
House of the Rising Sun. Have you seen me now?

🎺 What does success smell like?
Eric Burdon was just a kid when he snuck backstage to see Louis Armstrong.
He didn’t see fame. He didn’t hear a speech.
He smelled it.
A room filled with smoke, jazz, and greatness.
He leaned in and asked:
“What’s that smell?”
Louis looked at him, smiled, and said:
“That, my boy… is the sweet smell of success.”
🥚🔥 From that moment on, Eric Burdon chased it.
And the rest? That’s music history.
