Formed 1968 in Hertford, England. The line-up included guitarist Ritchie Blackmore(born April 14,1945 in Avon, England), keyboardist Jon Lord(born June 9,1941 in Leicester, England), bassist Nick Simper(born 1946 in Southall, England), vocalist Rod Evans(born 1945 in Edinburgh, Scotland) and drummer Ian Paice(born June 29,1948 in Nottingham, England). Originally signed to comedian Bill Cosby's Tetragrammaton Records, the group recorded three albums the re-recorded version of Joe South's "Hush" and Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman". Both songs placed well in the U.S. charts with "Hush" going to #4, and "Kentucky Woman" hitting #38. Shortly afterwards, Tetragrammaton Records folded, with Deep Purple signing with Warner Bros. Records. After switching to Warner Bros., the group saw a line-up change with vocalist Ian Gillan(born August 19,1945 in London, England) replacing Rod Evans and bassist Roger Glover(born November 30,1945 in Brecon, Wales) taking the place of Nick Simper. Two months followed and the band rleased the album "Deep Purple in Rock", with "Fireball" soon to follow. But it wouldn't be until the release of "Machine Head" in April of 1972 that Deep Purple's popularity really took off. With songs like "Space Truckin'","Highway Star", and "Smoke on the Water", the album began to rack up sales in the millions. Then, in 1973, the group saw further line-up changes. Ian Gillan and Roger Glover departed, and vocalist David Coverdale(born September 22,1949 in Cleveland, England), and bassist Glenn Hughes took their place. Following several album releases and the addition of guitarist Tommy Bolin(born 1951 in Sioux City, Iowa), Deep Purple disbanded. The group, reunited in 1984, included Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, and Ritchie Blackmore. |
