When the Deep Purple Falls - 4
Here is the April Stevens and Nino Tempo recording
Deep Purple
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin
To flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory
You wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh.
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone
Your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
Here in my deep purple dreams.
"Deep Purple" [1] was the biggest hit written by pianist Peter DeRose, who broadcast, 1923 to 1939, with May Singhi as "The Sweethearts of the Air" on the NBC radio network. "Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition. The following year, Paul Whiteman had it scored for his suave "big band" orchestra that was "making a lady out of jazz" in Whiteman's phrase. "Deep Purple" became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938:
The second most popular version, which hit number one on the U.S. pop charts in November 1963 and also won that year's Grammy for best rock & roll record, was recorded by Nino Tempo & April Stevens (who were brother and sister). This version of the song is notable for April Stevens' speaking the lyrics in a low and sweet voice during the second half of the song while her brother sings. According to the Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson, when the duo first recorded the song as a demo, Tempo forgot the words, and Stevens spoke the lyrics to the song to remind him. The record's producers thought Stevens' spoken interludes were "cute" and should be included on the finished product, but according to Stevens, her brother was not as easily convinced: "He didn't want anyone talking while he was singing!"
I am experimenting with revealing the veins in the petals. They seem so marvelous, and we don't normally see them clearly. Photography teaches us to see...
This flower has completely captivated me... There is so much hidden within.
This darkest of all treatments emphasizes the structure within the petals. It makes it more three dimensional I think.
