David Coverdale
In 1973, few acts had the world in their hands like Deep Purple, so replacing an already iconic singer as a complete unknown would prove to be the ultimate test. David Coverdale was tapped as the band’s new vocalist, sharing mic time with bassist Glenn Hughes, and immediately captivated fans with the critically-acclaimed ‘Burn.’ His bluesy tone and overall grit was a perfect marriage for the band and he continued on after DP’s demise, forming Whitesnake, who went on to release a series of hit records of their own. Coverdale’s lyrical imagery was dripping with sex appeal, which he echoed onstage with sensual prowess as one of rock’s all-time greats.
