[Revolting cat!]

All dead now? Goodness1!Last month, there was that blues serial on PBS and the English blues segment, which I started watching a few minutes late, apparently had Eric Burdon on it. I saw him, didn't recognized him (they identified the interviewees only during the first screen appearance, which in his case I missed) and wondered throughout who the guy was until the trailing credits. Even then he didn't seem familiar.

Burdon, Valentine, Price, Steel, and Jenkins are all still alive. As for Burdon, I saw him a few times in recent years and was disappointed. He's turned into a song-stylist, crooner-type, who over-interprets the material, e.g., "Baby" becomes "Bay - bay - be - uh" and so forth. His original strength was his sincerity, timing, crisp delivery, economy of words, and unbelievable howl. Plus a great stage presence - great eyes. Most of that's gone now . . . but he had his day.
