"Help Me Girl" (Animals) #29 12/31/1966

The Animals released their version of this song at the same time as the Outsiders. Perhaps that's why neither one did very well. The Animals started out as a jazz group with Eric Burdon on trombone. He switched to lead vocals when it turned out he was a lousy trombonist. By now the first version of the band had pretty much disintegrated and Burdon put together a new group that would lean more toward psychedelia.
