The Animals, with Eric Burdon as their lead vocalist, got their start in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1962. The band originally formed from the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, which included Alan Price on keyboards, Hilton Valentine on guitar, John Steel on drums, and Chas Chandler on bass12.
Eric Burdon joined the group, bringing his powerful blues-rock voice, and they soon changed their name to The Animals1. They quickly gained a reputation for their energetic performances and gritty sound, which led to their breakthrough hit, “The House of the Rising Sun,” in 19641.

Cab Calloway’s inclusion in The Blues Brothers was largely due to the film’s director, John Landis, and the star, Dan Aykroyd, who were both big fans of Calloway’s work. They wanted to pay homage to the great jazz and blues musicians who had influenced their own musical tastes and the creation of the Blues Brothers characters.
Calloway’s character, Curtis, was written specifically for him, and his performance of “Minnie the Moocher” became one of the film’s iconic moments. His involvement added authenticity and a touch of classic jazz history to the movie, which was a blend of comedy, music, and action.
