Alan Price
Alan Price (born 19 April 1942) is an English musician who first found prominence as the original keyboardist of the English rock band the Animals. He left the band in 1965 to form the Alan Price Set; his hit singles with and without the group include "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear", "The House That Jack Built", "Rosetta" (with Georgie Fame) and "Jarrow Song". Price is also known for work in film and television, taking occasional acting roles and composing the soundtrack of Lindsay Anderson's film O Lucky Man! (1973). He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as a member of the Animals.
Price was born in Fatfield, Washington, County Durham, and educated at Jarrow Grammar School, County Durham.
A self-taught musician, Price was a founding member of the Tyneside group the Alan Price Combo, which was later renamed the Animals. Playing organ on the Animals "The House of the Rising Sun", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", and "Bring It On Home to Me",[citation needed] Price was a key element in "the first Animals lineup['s]" success.
As a member of the Animals, Price appeared on numerous television shows including Ready Steady Go!, The Ed Sullivan Show, Hullabaloo, and Top of the Pops. Price left the band in 1965 because of personal and musical differences, as well as his fear of flying while on tour.
In August 1967, he appeared with the Animals at the hippie love-in that was held in the grounds of Woburn Abbey.[citation needed]
Price participated in the Animals' 1977 and 1983 reunions. In July 1983, the band started its last world tour.[citation needed] Price's solo performance of "O Lucky Man" was included in its set. In 1984, the band broke up for the final time, and the album Greatest Hits Live (Rip It to Shreds) was released, composed of recordings from the band's concert at Wembley Arena in London supporting the Police.[citation needed]
Price was inducted as a member of the Animals into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
When interviewed in 2009, John Steel described broad participation by members of the Animals in the arrangement of this traditional work, for instance, with Hilton Valentine developing the characteristic guitar arpeggio, Eric Burdon rewriting the usual female fallen protagonist as a man, and John Steel adopting his drum-pattern from Jimmy Smith's "Walk on the Wild Side". Likewise, all band members in that 2009 interview—Steel, Burdon, and Valentine—expressed uniform harsh judgment regarding Price's departure from the group while holding all songwriting royalty proceeds from their biggest hit. Valentine described the matter, thus:
