A really top bloke, barrow through and through. One of the game's good guys. So sad. I still remember talking to him on the bus home after they beat cas in the cup. He returned the call when we did the same. So long Keith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are always startled by the power of Eric's voice. Members of The Animals had a significant effect on music outside the group. Chas Chandler brought Hendrix over to England and managed Slade. Eric was involved with the early version of War. Think I recall Alan Price telling Dylan that Donovan was better than him in "Don`t Look Back". Not exactly a turning point, but quite amusing.

unapologetic pedant Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Johnoco said: Yes, many of them expect some old black blues singer. He was what? 19-20 at the time of recording? The most obvious comparison for a gravelly-voiced singer is with Howlin` Wolf, who only started recording in his 40s, and some of whose best tracks in the early 1960s were made when he was into his 50s. After Eric Burdon, you can trace the influence of that style through Captain Beefheart, and even to Lowell George on some of Little Feat`s early bluesier tunes. A distinction of Eric`s is that, despite not singing in anything like his own accent, he still sounds 100% authentic. Not many English singers manage that. Of his contemporaries, Steve Marriot was another great example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim2 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Someone my daughter went to Uni with - caused by COVID. She's 31. 3 "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
