Alan Price – I Put A Spell On You
Biography
A self-taught musician, primarily a keyboard player, he was educated at Jarrow Grammar School, South Tyneside, and was a founding member of the Tyneside group The Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, then renamed The Animals. His playing on their international hit “House of the Rising Sun” and other tracks was a key element in the Animals’ success. His arrangement of “House of the Rising Sun,” a traditional folk song, has become more recognisable than previous incarnations.
He left the band in May 1965, to form the highly successful Alan Price Set. In the same year, he appeared in the film Dont Look Back, which followed Bob Dylan on tour. In 1967, he enjoyed singles success with the Randy Newman song “Simon Smith And His Amazing Dancing Bear” and “The House That Jack Built”, following it up in 1968 with the jazzy “Don’t Stop The Carnival”. A partnership with Georgie Fame resulted in a Top 20 single in 1971, “Rosetta”, and an album “Fame and Price, Price and Fame Together”, as well as a regular slot in one series of “The Two Ronnies” on BBC television.
In 1973, he wrote the music for the Lindsay Anderson film O Lucky Man!; he performs on screen in the film and appears in walk-on parts as himself.
Price produced the autobiographical album Between Today and Yesterday in 1974, a track from which, “Jarrow Song”, returned him to the singles chart.

mad about him

He did the soundtrack for O Lucky Man and it's interesting because you actually see him playing the soundtrack within the film from time to time. Then later he ends up as a character in the film - as himself! -- Eight years earlier Alan appeared in the documentary about Bob Dylan called "Don't Look Back". He had just left The Animals when it was being filmed and he looks rather sad when Dylan asks him about his band. But he is mostly upbeat and very entertaining. A very talented and charming man.
