The Animals - Alan Price, Eric Burdon, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine ( centre ) and John Steel
The Animals are a group who rank in the top league of
British sixties groups and possibly of all time. There were
occasions in the sixties when they were jockeying for chart
positions with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Emerging out of several north-east bands and making
their London debut at the famous Crawdaddy club - one time
'home' of The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds, The Animals
were at first pointed in the direction of future pirate
radio King Ronan O'Rahilly but eventually were taken under
producer Mickie Most's expert wing. Their huge international
best-seller, House Of The Rising Sun, originally considered
'too long and too rude' established them around the world,
and, importantly for their future careers, in America. As the
first Geordie ( coming from the north-east of England ) band
to succeed where Liverpool, London, Birmingham and Manchester
were dominating, they took America by storm with an amazing
virtuosity and authenticity supplied by all of the individual
members of the band. Eric Burdon's famous throaty bluesy
voice which defied his white English origins, Alan Price's
amazing accomplishment on keyboards, John Steel's understated
percussion, Chas Chandler's solid bass and, of course,
Hilton Valentine's masterful and seemingly effortless guitar.
The group passed through The British Invasion picking up hit
after hit as they went - Baby Let Me Take You Home, Don't Let
Me Be Misunderstood, We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place,
and evolved into psychedelia, personnel changes and new
directions and alliances. Hilton and Eric played together
and solo in various bands and manifestations while Alan
pursued a successful solo career as well as working with
people like Georgie Fame, writing music for stage and film
and even pursuing an acting career. Chas Chandler famously
'discovered' and managed Jimi Hendrix, and many other
British groups of the 70s, including Slade, until the big
man's untimely death. Hilton is still in the studio and on
the road and I managed to catch up with him and ask
him to talk to www.sixtiespop.com
So here is the interview with one of the top guitarists
from the top bands of that glorious decade,
