Married twice.
Born in Walker-on-Tyne, England, UK
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of the Animals), 1994
Member of the musical group The Animals.
Famous for his deep, raw, agonized singing voice.
Burdon's overbearing personality is usually blamed for the break-up of The Animals. He went on to sing for fusion and heavy rock bands after they disbanded in 1966. The original members of the Animals reformed in 1977 and 1983, but without critical or popular success. Though not a significant group in the history of rock music, their 1960s singles remain classics.
