Eric Victor Burdon (* 11. Mai 1941 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England) ist ein britischer Rockmusiker. Er war S�nger der Bands The Animals und War. Zu seinen bekanntesten Songs z�hlen We Gotta Get Out of This Place, San Franciscan Nights, Monterey, Spill the Wine, sowie Coverversionen von House of the Rising Sun und Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.

Burdon experimentierte immer wieder erfolgreich mit neuen Musikrichtungen. Stark beeinflusst vom Blues von Bo Diddley und dem Soul von Ray Charles brachte er seit den 1960ern fast 50 Alben heraus, von denen einige weltweit hohe Chartplatzierungen erreichten. Er trat zusammen mit Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Witherspoon und Otis Redding auf und wurde von Patti Smith und Iggy Pop als einer ihrer zehn Lieblingsmusiker benannt. Die Musikzeitschrift Rolling Stone listet Burdon auf Platz 57 der gr��ten S�nger aller Zeiten

Released without Eric Burdon's authorization, Sun Secrets is nothing for the singer to be ashamed of artistically. With approximately 24 minutes per side, Sun Secrets is a far cry from The Black Man's Burdon and the rhythms of the group War. As Mountain guitarist Leslie West would do a year after this when he formed the Leslie West Band, Burdon beats him to the punch with a self-titled group that rocks -- rocks harder than the Animals, rocks harder than War. It's innovative reinvention, and quite pleasing, not only to hear the three-piece unit blitzing behind the singer as he reinterprets Animals classics like "When I Was Young," "It's My Life," or the Hendrix/Cream riff-laden version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," but on the instrumental title track as well. The tragedy of it all is that, according to the singer's biography, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Eric Burdon with J.Marshall Craig (Thunder's Mouth Press), Burdon did not want this material out. The tapes were signed to Capitol and released without his permission. Produced by Jerry Goldstein, they are called "rehearsal tapes" by the singer and feature the original lineup of what he says in his book is "The first in a long series of Eric Burdon band(s)." Capitol released two different versions of this disc -- the full-length commercial LP, and a "Radio Programming Aid" which has edits of everything except for the 13-minute Burdon co-write "Letter From the Country Farm." It's disheartening to read the agony for the star during these sessions and the touring from this period in his life, but it's refreshing to hear in these grooves that under adverse conditions the star still comes out on top artistically.
