FEMUSINDO.com - One of the pioneering music groups of the modern heavy metal and hard rock genres is Deep Purple. This British hard rock group was formed in March 1968.
Deep Purple, along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, is referred to as the trinity of British hard rock and heavy metal in the early to mid-1970s.
During its journey, this group has experienced several changes in personnel and its last formation before going on hiatus in 1976 and being revived in 1984.
The forerunner of Deep Purple was the creation of Jon Lord who previously played for The Flowerpot Man with fellow musicians, Chris Curtis, and a businessman who tried to become a music producer, Tony Edwards.
John Lord, the composer, most of Deep Purple's songs were created by him. He is the spirit of this band.
Deep Purple were listed in the 1975 Guinness Book of World Records as the world's loudest band for their 1972 concert at London's Rainbow Theatre and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
Deep Purple were ranked 22nd on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, and a Planet Rock radio poll ranked them 5th among the most influential bands of all time.
The band received the Legend Award at the 2008 World Music Awards. Deep Purple, specifically Blackmore, Lord, Paice, Gillan, Glover, Coverdale, Evans, and Hughes, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. (*)
