The Animals' iconic House of the Rising Sun video changed music

Описание: The Animals’ House of the Rising Sun wasn’t just a chart-topper in 1964 – it helped shape the idea of the modern music video. Shot at Tyne Tees Television’s City Road studios in Newcastle, the black-and-white promo captured the band performing in a single, moody take that perfectly matched the song’s haunting tone. Long before MTV, it gave fans a visual identity for the group and showed how performance clips could sell a song worldwide. That hypnotic stare from Eric Burdon and the swirling organ sound made this one of the earliest examples of a rock promo becoming truly iconic.
