My understanding is that the Animals heard the song on Bob Dylan's debut album. Their electric rock version influenced Dylan's decision to go electric which of course led to the famous 'judas' heckle at the Free Trade Hall.
The Animals copied Dylan's arrangement, which Bob had nicked off Dave Van Ronk. I don't think Van Ronk was too happy when he heard his song on Bob's first album.

The greatest band ever EVER had the same issue.
Morrissey & Marr wrote the lyrics and music for the GREATEST band that ever was and were on a 50/50 split of songwriting royalties. That was never in dispute.
However - and this was never written down in a contract hence the court case - the performing royalties (ie TV shows, live performances, radio / TV appearences, merchandise etc) were deemed as 25% x 4 split by Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, yet once the band had folded they found out it was a 40/40/10/10 split.....
The court (in the absence of a written contract) went in the favour of Mike Joyce and awarded him £1m. (Andy Rourke settled out of court for £80K a year earlier as he was skint and took the carrot dangled)
It has always been the same story throughout rock history.....Remember Spandau Ballet?
Three of the band took Kemp to court and lost.
He had the sole rights to the songs as writer and got by far the biggest chunk of money because of it.
On the other hand since their first record Coldplay have always had all the band credited as joint songwriters.
And as for the Stones Keef, Mick and Charlie keep such control that even to this day Ron Wood is an employee of theirs!

There is no issue with that. Wood has no involvement with the Stones classic tunes from the 60's until 1975 when he joined the band. What have they done since then ("Start me up" is about it)And as for the Stones Keef, Mick and Charlie keep such control that even to this day Ron Wood is an employee of theirs!
