I knew the band leader of Hot RS, Kevin Kruger. I think this was their biggest hit back then. Went to High School with him in South Africa. Dan Hill and Kevin Kruger were the anchor members of Hot RS. Judy Fältskog did the lead vocals with Kevin Kruger, even though they had a few other female vocalists who came and went. Backing vocals was done by Karen, sometimes by Tanya. I used to watch when they did their garage practices back in the late 70s in Port Elizabeth.

They were really pretty good for that time.

The fact it was made famous by The Animals is so controversial that i'd say it's been rather by Joan Baez's song than the Animals. Just two words.
