This Day in Music History: House of the Rising Sun

Hits no. 1 in the UK in 1964.

Oh mothers tell your children…

oh god, am I old. :-0

Here it's already the 14th...

So in France...

Johnny Hallyday's no.1 hit

I'm rather partial to his version of Noir est noir(rats. It shows up in my draft but not the final. Here's the link

one of my all time faves. '64? shoot, I'm old.

I never really liked the song but had no idea it was released in '64.  I thought late '60s.  In that case it was probably ahead of its time compared to what the Beatles/Stones/Kinks/Who were doing in '64. 

Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan recorded and released this song earlier than the Animals.

And don't forget Joan Baez 1960 By the way why aren't all of you playing the music edition of the word association game?

I enjoyed the rendition played at maplewoodstock-but forget which band played it-anyone remember?

I think it was on saturday.
