Original vs Remake #12
Tonight's throwdown for O vs R is "House of the Rising Sun". A old American folk song with its origins really unknown it has had many versions done in many styles but in the rock era the 2 biggest charting versions were from 1964 and 1970.
Here from 1964 are The Animals with lead singer Eric Burdon and this bluesy, soulful rendition that topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Top 40.
From 1970 the version by Frijid Pink a soul rock group from Detroit that hit the top ten on the Hot 100 and in the UK and earned them a gold record.
