The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (1964) HQ/Widescreen ♫♥ 57 YEARS AGO

January 29, 2021. Very sad news that legendary guitarist with The Animals HILTON VALENTINE has died. What can you say about this man who gave us so much in the world of rock n roll… it’s hard to summarise but he was a beautiful, great, influential guitarist who blessed us with his talent and flair with so many unforgettable and legendary performances. Chuck Berry (!) once described Hilton Valentine as "a wildly exciting instrumentalist". Absolutely! there was so much more to Hilton than House of the Rising Sun, just check out Hilton’s many other performances on album tracks and live performances and you would soon hear why Chuck Berry would acknowledge Hilton in this way. Hilton, we loved and admired you and forevermore thank you for all your beautiful contributions to rock n roll and for your presence. Rest in Peace and Love Forever!

HILTON VALENTINE, May 21, 1943 - January 29, 2021. ✿ܓ

ERIC BURDON has paid tribute to his fellow band member - ‘The opening opus of Rising Sun will never sound the same!… You didn’t just play it, you lived it! Heartbroken by the sudden news of Hilton’s passing. We had great times together, Geordie lad. From the North Shields to the entire world…Rock In Peace’
