| Eric Burdon and Chas Chandler wrote new words to an old negro prison song "Rosie". | ||||
| Sean Egan (in his book "Animal Tracks") comments that the song "Inside - Looking Out" ... | ||||
| "... bears the publishing credit: Lomax/Burdon/Chandler, reflecting the fact that Eric and Chas had customised the prison song "Rosie", which is what the number was billed as when the band played it on BBC radio and television in late 1965. One of the countless songs gathered by blues and folk archivist Alan Lomax during trips up and down America (including visits to state penitentiaries) ... ". | ||||
| Don Fleming (of the Alan Lomax Archive Website ... refer Alan-Lomax.com) has confirmed to Kojak that the Lomax/Burdon/Chandler shared publishing agreement refers to the version of "Rosie" as being the one sung by C.B. and Ten Prisoners on the "Negro Prison Songs" LP recorded in 1947 and released on Tradition Records in 1959. | ||||
