Deep Purple is a rock band formed in 1968, along with Led Zeppelin and Sabbath. Their songs fall under the category of heavy metal rock although some people say that they don’t belong in any genre.

They released their first album “Shades of Deep Purple” and “The Book of Taliesyn” in 1968 followed by their third album “Deep Purple” in early 1969. In 1970, the band became touring and releasing albums along the way. One of these albums was “In Rock” which contained the songs “Speed King”, “Child In Time” and other albums that included the ever popular “Highway Star” which is when they became most famous.

Despite the band’s success, the end came in March 1976 when Coverdale handed in his resignation. However, the main tragedy occurred in December 1976 when Bolin (a band member of Deep Purple) had just finished recording his second solo album and was found dead due to drug overdose.
This is a personal favourite :) its called “Burn” it was released in one of the albums around the 1970s,
Deep Purple will remain one of the greatest heavy metal rock that ever existed since they were also once listed in the Guinness Book World of Records as the loudest pop rock band. During that time they sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
