Michael Hepworth<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n British Soul Great Eric Burdon Debuts His Electrifying Take On a ’60s Protest Anthem<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n HOLLYWOOD (Perfect Music Today)5\/11\/17\/–Eric Burdon\u2019s soulful, heart-stopping wail made him one of the most unforgettable\u00a0voices of the \u201960s.\u00a0As the lead\u00a0singer\u00a0for British Invasion\u00a0heroes the Animals, he injected\u00a0a dose of gritty reality into the pop charts with hits like \u201cHouse of the Rising Sun\u201d and \u201cWe Gotta Get Out of This Place,\u201d and by decade\u2019s end\u00a0he had moved on to\u00a0front the barrier-breaking funk group, War.<\/p>\n Today, the music legend remains an active advocate for peace,\u00a0producing music aimed squarely\u00a0at the status quo.\u00a0In honor of his 76th birthday,\u00a0Burdon is treating\u00a0fans to a cover of Buffalo Springfield\u2019s\u00a0\u201cFor What It\u2019s Worth\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on his website<\/a>. Stephen Stills wrote the song after witnessing the power of a youth protest on Hollywood\u2019s Sunset Strip in the fall of 1966, and it immediately became a powerful anthem of\u00a0change.<\/p>\n For Burdon, the song\u2019s\u00a0message is especially timely given the tumultuous political climate.<\/p>\n \u201cThe whole idea of recording this song came as a result of a conversation I had with a young fan backstage, when she asked me, \u2018Where are the protest songs today?’\u201d he says in a statement. \u201cRight then and there, I wanted to write to say something about the brutality that\u2019s going on in the world today\u2014but I couldn\u2019t find any better way to say it than Buffalo Springfield did in \u2018For What It\u2019s Worth.\u2019 I thought of reintroducing this classic, which is as relevant today as it was during the Vietnam war and speaks to this generation just as it spoke to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n Burdon intends the song as a rallying cry for\u00a0those who want to\u00a0\u201cspeak their minds\u201d and take action against forces they believe to be harmful to themselves, loved ones, and the planet. Deeply aware of history\u2014he\u2019ll appear on this Thursday\u2019s\u00a0episode the\u00a0CNN series\u00a0Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History\u00a0at 10 p.m. (EST\/PST)\u2014he sees disturbing trends between current events and the battles fought half a century ago.<\/p>\n \u201cThe message is clear. Racism is back, stronger than it ever has been. The struggle between the sexes is at a boiling point. Violence is out of control. Our very home planet is under threat. It\u2019s time to grow up and take responsibility. We must wake up before it\u2019s too late. Everything we believed in, everything people fought and died for in the \u201960s, is under attack today.<\/p>\n \u201cSo join me, sing with me, speak out against the madness,\u201d he continues. \u201cWe are not afraid.\u201d \u00a0https:\/\/www.ericburdon.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Photo (c) Marianna BurdonBy\u00a0Jordan Runtagh<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michael Hepworth<\/p>\n 287 S.Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90211<\/p>\n www.perfectmealtoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfectmealtoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/twitter.com\/MrSpiritsman<\/a><\/p>\n www.spiritsman.com<\/a><\/p>\n mrspiritsman@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.perfectskintoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfectskintoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.perfecttraveltoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfecttraveltoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.perfectmealtoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfectmealtoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.perfectgolftoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfectgolftoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.perfectmusictoday.com<\/a><\/p>\n perfectmusictoday@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n www.champagnewinemaison.com<\/a><\/p>\n champagnewinemaison@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n http:\/\/alquimie.com.au\/publicatio<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/perfectmusictoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Eric-Burdon-\u00a9Marianna-Burdon.jpeg\")
