  Chas Chandler - Biography - AOL Music
The hulking bassist (Chandler stood six-foot-four) was on all of the Animals' recordings from their first sides in 1963 through late 1966, when the nucleus of the original group disbanded (although lead singer Eric Burdon carried on the name with other musicians for a few years).
Once in London, Chandler helped assemble the other musicians that would form the Jimi Hendrix Experience and produced their debut single, "Hey Joe"; he was also co-manager of the Experience with Mike Jeffery (manager of the Animals).
Chandler risked almost all of his resources to launch Hendrix's career, funding the "Hey Joe" session before Hendrix had a contract, letting Hendrix live in his flat when the pair arrived in London, and even letting the guitarist use the flat for rehearsal at the outset.
