[D] British feet.
We tended [A] to forget that every British rocker's real inspiration was the [D] music of America.
The influences were many and they were varied from the Buddy Holly inspired Liverpool sound of The
[A] Beatles to perhaps the most important of all, the music [G] of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and [D] Little Ripple.
The music of Black America, rhythm and blues.
No [A] other British act of the era demonstrated this
more purely than the [D] sound of Eric Burden and the Animals.
Both the Animals and the Rolling Stones
perpetuated a bad boy unit.
The [A] flip side of the cleaner cut suit and tie look of The Beatles and
Jerry and the [G] Pacemakers.
The Animals became the second invasion group to go to number one in the
[D] U.S. and Eric Burden later [A] embraced the psychedelic scene of San Francisco. _
Eric Burden and the Animals
left behind a string of hits that stands among the best [C] of the era.
