[1960-1964 Best Songs]
Billboard Top 100, 1964, #38
If you're a British Band, and you're going to cover an American Folk tune and convert it into a blues-rock masterpiece, you'd better have a pretty special singer as your front man.
Enter Eric Burdon, a 23-year-old from Newcastle, England who sounds like a 58-year-old from Biloxi.
Backing that formidable voice is an organ, which apparently Satan got to play as part of the deal.
There's no other explanation for such a voice and for such a song.
