January 23, 2023 Record of the Day

“The House of The Rising Sun” was a number 1 hit for the Animals in 1964, but the song was first recorded by Clarence Ashley in 1931 and by Country legend Roy Acuff in 1941. Before the Animals made their version the one everyone knows, it was also recorded by Glen Yarbrough and Leadbelly. The 1964 Animals single on M-G-M Records is worth up to $50.00 with its picture sleeve. A purple vinyl copy, as seen here, can get you a $1,500.00 today.
