Eric Burdon

Eric Victor Burdon
Born 11 May, 1941

Below, a searing 2:15 performance of the Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell, Sol Marcus composition "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood:" The Animals - fronted by Eric Burdon performing live "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" at an event produced by the New Musical Express in 1965."



To listen to a more leisurely, indulgent performance by Mr. Burdon of the song at the 2006 Lugano Jazz Festival, some forty years later, click here.

Headphones highly recommended for both viewings|listenings.
