來自英格蘭的即興吉他手Hilton Valentine,是The Animals的創團吉他手,1966年Animals解散後,Valentine錄了幾張個人的專輯,包含All in Your Head (1969) 及 It's Folk 'N'
Skiffle, Mate! (2004),他也參加每一次Animals的重聚演唱會。
Valentine 於1994年與該團其他團員一同進入搖滾樂名人堂,並於2001年進入好萊塢搖滾樂星光大道。
搖滾樂團The Animals來自英格蘭Newcasstle-upon-Tyne,前身是the Alan Price Combo,主唱Eric Burdon,1964年The Animals以3週排行榜冠軍歌曲The House of the Rising Sun成名,這首歌在滾石雜誌歷年500大歌曲排行榜獲得第123名,主唱Eric Burdon說 :「我們想找一首吸引人注意的歌」,後來他們找到一首美國民歌House of the Rising Sun,並且放到1962年第一張專輯裡面。
Bob
Dylan曾唱過這首歌,描寫受困於南方妓院裡的一個女孩令人難過的故事。來自英格蘭生活艱苦煤礦城的Animals則把主角改成男孩,並加了電子琴伴奏,有一點爵士樂手Jimmy Smith名曲Walk on the Wild Side的味道。
The
House of the Rising Sun是一首搖滾樂的經典之作,除了主唱的歌聲外,吉他及電子琴的伴奏替全曲增色不少。

House Of The Rising Sun
The Animals, Eric Burdon & the Animals
Songwriters: Alan Price / Traditional
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
