The 70s was Deep Purple’s breakout era which one could attribute to the new members, the new band name, or both. Gillan and Glover moving to Deep Purple was serendipitous since it’s the reason they achieved the fame they have today. The two of them are considered household names both by rock fans and the bigger public.

His Contribution
Gillan’s unique vocals and music style became a clear-cut trademark of the brand and he himself gained significant attention because of it. His technique and style also set the standards higher for his contemporaries. Music reporter Malcolm Dome even declared, “Gillan remains completely in control of his voice whilst going completely insane.” If you take a look at the vocalist’s Facebook page, it also includes that until now his vocals are “instantly recognizable.”
