The Animals formed in Newcastle, England in 1964.  The Animals had their origins in a Newcastle-based group called the Kansas City Five, whose membership included pianist Alan Price, drummer John Steel, and singer Eric Burdon. Price exited to join the Kontours in 1962, while Burdon went off to London.  Burdon’s return to Newcastle in early 1963 heralded his return to the lineup. The final member of the combo, guitarist Hilton Valentine, joined just in time for the recording of a self-produced EP under the band’s new name, the Animals.  It was incorrectly rumoured that The Animals got their single “House of The Rising Sun” from which artist?

A)  Joni Mitchell

B)  Neil Young

C)  Bob Dylan
