Apologies for all the edits - After many attempts to upload this, I had to remove all of the Animal songs due to copyright, otherwise utube would not allow it to be shown.....Hopefully you get the gist !
Eric Victor Burdon - Born Walker, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England 1941. Then became an Animal.

Includes interviews with Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, George Thorogood, Patti Smith

Fun Facts in the documentary:

Bruce Springsteen blames The Animals for every song he's ever written.

"The Spanish City" (which still exists in part), was a large fairground complex in Whitley Bay on Northumberland coast. Often visited in their youth by the likes of Eric Burdon, Sting, Mark Knopfler and Hank Marvin no less...to name but a few. A big draw back in the day!
