Eric Burdon & Jimmy Witherspoon was a unique collaboration between two influential figures in blues and rock music: vocalist Eric Burdon, best known as the frontman of The Animals, and blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon. Their 1971 album, "Guilty!", showcases a fusion of blues, rock, and R&B, displaying Burdon's gritty vocals alongside Witherspoon's soulful singing. The partnership is significant for bridging the gap between traditional blues and the burgeoning rock movement of the 70s. Despite its limited commercial success, "Guilty!" is remembered as a distinctive melding of two distinct and powerful voices in 20th-century music.
