That bloody riff, when I was a kid my older brother decided he was going to learn to play the guitar, well I must have heard that riff a million times before he gave the guitar away. It did my head in, caused many a fight between us. ?The Animals guitarist Hilton Valentine, who created one of the most famous riffs in pop music in the 1960s, has died at the age of 77.
The British band's version of blues standard The House of The Rising Sun topped the UK and US charts in 1964.
The Animals' record label ABKCO Music described Valentine as a "pioneering guitar player influencing the sound of rock and roll for decades to come".
