Deep Purple by Peter De Rose and Mitchell Parish is here arranged for string quartet by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP). 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 (the 100th song to do so) in November 1963 and also won that year's Grammy Award for Best Rock and Roll Record, was recorded by brother-sister act Nino Tempo & April Stevens.
