The Animals' original lineup consisted of frontman Eric Burdon, guitarist Hilton Valentine, bass guitarist Chas Chandler, keyboardist Alan Price and drummer John Steel (drummer)|John Steel. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound, they balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm-and-blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US. The Animals rose to prominence with their signature song and transatlantic number-one hit single "The House of the Rising Sun#The Animals' version|The House of the Rising Sun", and continued this success with hits such as "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life (The Animals song)|It's My Life", "Don't Bring Me Down (The Animals song)|Don't Bring Me Down", "I'm Crying", "See See Rider" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood#The Animals version|Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". They underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s, and suffered from poor business management, leading the original incarnation to split up in 1966. Burdon then assembled a mostly new lineup of musicians under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals; the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic music|psychedelic and progressive rock band with hits such as "San Franciscan Nights", "When I Was Young (song)|When I Was Young" and "Sky Pilot (song)|Sky Pilot" before disbanding at the end of the decade.cite magazine https://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/the-animals/biography The Animals Biography|magazine=Rolling Stone|year=2001 7 August 2016 The original lineup of Burdon, Price, Chandler, Valentine and Steel reunited for a one-off benefit concert in Newcastle in 1968. They later launched brief comebacks in 1975 and 1983. Several partial regroupings of the original-era members have occurred since then under various names. Altogether, the band has had ten top-20 hits in both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100. The Animals' original lineup were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
