Quick...wake up! WAKE UP! The king of the schmooooooooze is in the house. Oh yeah baby, hes gonna be a fool for your lovin' no more and hes gone on his own more than once. He's gonna slide it in, right to the top..ooer...he didnt make it to the top, but he made it in at a respectable 32....that old crooner, Mr David Coverdale!
Born 22 September 1951, Dave the rave, as hes known down his local, is best known for his work with Whitesnake, a hard rock band he founded in 1978. Before Whitesnake, Coverdale was the lead singer of Deep Purple from 1973 to 1976, after which he established his solo career. A collaboration with Jimmy Page resulted in a 1993 album that was a commercial success. In 2016, Coverdale was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple, giving one of the band's induction speeches. Coverdale is known in particular for his powerful blues-tinged voice.
Coverdale was born on 22 September 1951, in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Around the age of 14, he began performing professionally and developing his voice. "I don't think my voice had broken," he explained to Sounds in 1974. "And that's when I first learnt how to sing with my stomach, which sounds silly, but it's totally different from a normal voice." Coverdale started performing with local bands Vintage 67 (1966–68), The Government (1968–72) and Fabulosa Brothers (1972–73).
On 1 March 2007, Coverdale became a US citizen, in a ceremony in Reno, Nevada, and now holds dual US/UK citizenship. He has lived in Incline Village, Nevada for more than 20 years.
Not being a huge fan of Deep Purple , I was never too bothered about who their members were, even though their following was huge Whitesnake, on the other hand, well I loved their biggest album 'Whitesnake' or '1987'. This album put DC and Whitesnake well and truly on the rock map! For me it had everything from the rocked up, guitar fused Still Of The Night' to the loved up,first tune on ya love mix tape 'Is This Love' and then to to the mammoth stadium classic 'Here I Go Again'. I played this to death through my revision year...probably explains why I didnt do so good in some exams...whoops! But this is about the frontman and DC was a good looker with fab hair and had enough charisma to bless his hair a thousand times over. And the voice. What. A. Voice! Perfect voice for rock. Strong enough for the more upbeat tracks yet soft enough for those 'turn those lights down low' tracks but with still enough power to reach those higher notes. This guy oozes smooch-appeal. Very classy and a decent gentleman. Maybe he should be a little higher but hey, he's higher than Elvis...
That's me done. Over to G for this afternoons rocktastic entry!
