For most people, House of the Rising Sun evokes memories of the 1964 hit The Animals. The song itself, however, has a hidden and shockingly extensive history that began much earlier than the mid-1960s.
The melody itself is a traditional English ballad, but it has become popular as an African American folk song. It was recorded by Texas Alexander in the 1920s, then by a number of other performers, including Ledbelly, Woody Guthrie, Josh White and later Nina Simone.
But it was Nina's version that The Animals heard.
No one can claim the rights to the song, which means that it can be recorded and sold without royalties. But many bands made covers of it after it became a hit with The Animals.
Historians have not been able to definitively identify what the "House of the Rising Sun" is, but here are two of the most popular theories:
1.This song is about a brothel in New Orleans. The House Of The Rising Sun was named after its owner, Madame Marianne Le Soleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French). The brothel operated from 1862 to 1874, and then closed due to complaints from neighbors.
2.We are talking about a women's prison in New Orleans called the Orleans Parish Women's Prison, the entrance gates of which were decorated with paintings of the rising sun. This could explain the phrase from the song "ball and chain".
Ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax recorded his version of the song in 1937 with a 16-year-old girl named Georgia Turner. In this context, the song is sung in the first person in the present tense, when the singer laments how the House of the Rising Sun destroyed her life. In this traditional folk version, the main character is either a prostitute or a prisoner. The Animals changed the character to a gambling enthusiast to make their version more suitable for radio.
In 1964, this folk song became a worldwide hit for The Animals. Their version reached number one in the UK on July 9, and in America on September 5.
Animals vocalist Eric Burdon explained in a 2010 interview for Songfacts:
House of the Rising Sun is a song that I was just destined to perform. She was made for me, and I was made for her. It was a great song to tour with Chuck Berry because it became a way to reach the audience without copying Chuck Berry himself. It was a great trick, and it worked. In fact, not only a trick, but also a great record.
Bob Dylan included this song on his first album in 1962 with a folk arrangement like that of American folk singer Dave Van Ronk. When The Animals recorded it two years later, it transformed Dylan. The musician realized that he could apply a rock rhythm to a folk song. Bob bought an electric guitar and started playing it, which made him famous at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, where he performed an electric set for the first time.
The Animals recorded the song in the studio in just one take, as they honed it by constantly performing on tour. John Steele, the band's drummer, recalled this.:
On May 17, 1964, we played in Liverpool, and then went to London, where Mickey Most booked a studio for the ITV show Ready Steady Go! Because of the reaction we got to Rising Sun, we asked to record this song as well, to which he said, "OK, we'll do it in the same session." We tuned in, played a few bars for the sound engineer – it was mono without overdubs – and recorded it only once. After listening, Mickey said: "That's it, it's a finished single." The sound engineer said that the song came out too long, but instead of shortening it a little, Mickey plucked up the courage and said, "Now we live in a microgrove world, we'll release it." A few weeks later, the song became No. 1 worldwide. When we knocked the Beatles off the top in America, they sent us a telegram that read: "Congratulations from The Beatles (band)."
Producer Mickey Most added:
Everything was in the right place, the planets were in the right place, the stars were in the right place, and the wind was blowing in the right direction. It took only 15 minutes to record, so I can't take much credit for producing it. It was just an incident that captured the atmosphere in the studio.

ABOUT:
Jonathan Turner was Cory, Shawn, and Topanga's teacher at John Adams High. His authority was sometimes undermined by George Feeny, due to the fact that he had new and fresh ways of dealing with students, as opposed to the conservative ways most other teachers have.
Lonni Boden was an attractive woman that came to work at Alan Matthews's store after Ezekial, her uncle, left to care for his mother, Loni's grandmother. Ezekial told Alan that Loni was raised with 11 brothers, 9 male cousins, and a pack of bloodhound dogs, commenting that she turned out "all boy". Eric Matthews was immediately very attracted to her, and tried to hit on her, but she treated him in a rough, playful demeanor.

Stanley Turrentine - Sugar (1970)
Voltar a Sugar é sempre um acontecimento. Um clássico do jazz que deveria ser ainda mais clássico do que é. Sem falhas, só doçura e encantamento.
Voltar a Sugar é sempre um acontecimento. Um clássico do jazz que deveria ser ainda mais clássico do que é. Sem falhas, só doçura e encantamento.
Stanley Turrentine é muitas vezes esquecido (ou quase) na lista da longa esteira de fina linhagem dos saxofonistas do jazz. Imerecido, pois então. E muito. O seu estilo particular de tocar o seu instrumento de sopro talvez tivesse sido influenciado pelo…

So, Gotham Knights, huh.
Obviously this is Court of Owls.
Wait so two separate projects at DC were made with the same name and are based on the idea of Bruce Wayne being killed by the Court of Owls?
Cressida, like Cressida Clark, of the Court of Owls?
Well five minutes in, we can wrap this up I already figured it out. DC I won the prize please let me write a comic for you now.
Harper, Cullen, please you’re smarter than this.
What is with the music in the show?
Of course it’s Joe Chill’s.
What’s Harvey Dent doing in a police car on the way to Wayne Tower? You’re the District Attorney?
Again with the music?
Olive Silverlock? Gotham Academy reference.
If I keep having to pause to collect myself I’m never going to get through this.
That cowl looks bad.
He immediate tells Stephanie?
A big lever?
Fire sound fx.
The cave is pretty bare to be honest.
No t-rex 0/10
The slums of Burnside?
Okay I had to take a breather.
So they just made Batman’s secret identity public knowledge?
Why are they (Harper, Cullen, Duela) in a loft?
So now Gotham sends in SWAT?
“With no Batman, who’s going to solve the murder of Bruce Wayne?” DUH DUH DUHHHHH
The Mutant Gang?
I’m sorry, but his Dad literally died a handful of days ago. Truancy?
Is this supposed to be after the four week break they were talking about?
Where is Alfred in all of this?
Why would Harvey be entertaining this idea that Duela is the Joker’s Daughter?
Man Harvey, Duela made you look bad.
Oh don’t /Turner/ him! That guy deserved it.
Let me guess, Batman killed his parents?
The Batcave duh duh duh
Hacker Steph?
Mom left? Miranda left?
Harvey has my respect.
Harper no!
Why is a batarang over at the computer?
Turner you don’t keep track of your money?
Cressida! You!
Millionaire?
Bruce Wayne has a lawfirm?
Court of Owls.
Joker’s dead?
Wait, did they give Lonnie Machin’s origin story to Duela?
Why did they put them all in the same cell?
Also Cullen picking fights?
Harper intervening is on-point for her character.
I would not advise the public not to rush to judgement? Sir you very much seemed to barrel your way to judgement quite quickly.
Who is this lady talking to Harvey?
No pressure right?
Again, same vehicle?
Why would they go to Blackgate?
Man GCPD aren’t the most attentive are they?
Huh, Cullen can kick some ass.
Convenient pile of gravel.
Of course they’re with the Court of Owls.
Rocket launcher.
Where is Commissioner Gordon in all of this?
I’m Robin? Really you’re just going to say it and unmask?
What is with this show and the lack of secret identities?
Really? Your mom’s car?
Brooding! I hope we cut away to everyone else in the car.
Duela brings up a good point.
You’re hiding at the school?
Court of Owls again.
Name drop.
Why would Duela be in Arkham as a kid?
Recite the poem yada-yada-yada.
And of course Cressida has ulterior motives.
and the Talon at the end.
