Jon Lord, the keyboard player with the sixties/seventies rock band Deep Purple has died aged 71. Maybe I'll give the self titled third album a spin tonight. |

His daughter was going out with Loz Colbert around 1993 so he ended up doing a lot of the keyboard parts on Carnival of Light. Yet another excuse to give it a spin. |

I was humming "Child In Time" in the car earlier and haven't played the song in years Michael, his greatest contribution to a Deep Purple song? I got Deepest Purple on Vinyl for my birthday when I was 11 and proceeded to gather up "In Rock" "Live In London" and my favourite "Fireball" over the next year, loved Lord's chunky Hammond organ sound. |

i often hum child in time. early childhood experience. but the song was stolen (i think you know this already): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdLluzeiW UY nevertheless, deep purple were one of the groups i liked in my first days of listening to rock music. headbanging to the songs on made in japan (like everybody else). still really love their 'burn' album, which i bought at the time of the release. oh, how i was excited. while writing this 'hush' came to my mind. think i have to listen to it right now. |

I've always hated Deep Purple..Even now, after all this time, I couldn't give them any credit. Altough, peace to Jon Lord. |

I was only a fan of their first three albums, the MK1 period, when Rod Evans was the lead vocalist. |

Wow, that's a total steal Andreas. I've never heard that song before. I absolutely loved Deepest Purple when I was a kid. I really liked a lot of Made In Japan too, but that endless drum solo track was truly awful. |

I'm with Trou. "Hush" is probably the only thing I could ever listen to. |
