1933 song by Peter DeRose

"Deep Purple" is a song and the biggest hit written by pianist Peter DeRose, who broadcast between 1923 and 1939 with May Singhi as "The Sweethearts of the Air" on the NBC radio network. The British rock band Deep Purple named themselves after the song.

"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.

Larry Clinton and His Orchestra recorded one of the most popular versions of the song on 23 December 1938. Featuring vocalist Bea Wain, the Clinton version was a huge hit. Released in January 1939 on Victor Records, the Clinton recording was number one on the U. S. popular music charts for nine consecutive weeks in 1939. The next most popular version was made by Jimmy Dorsey which reached the No. 2 spot
Guy Lombardo (No. 9)
Bing Crosby (recorded March 22, 1939 with Matty Malneck and His Orchestra) (No. 14)
Artie Shaw (No. 17) (with vocalist Helen Forrest) also charted in 1939. The song is a sentimental ballad. Adelaide Hall introduced the song to Britain and recorded it for Decca. Her version was released on 15 May 1939.

The Tempo/Stevens version was intended as the B side of a song called "I've Been Carrying a Torch for You So Long That It Burned a Great Big Hole in My Heart". However, radio stations preferred "Deep Purple". "I've Been Carrying a Torch " held the distinction of having the longest title, at 67 letters, of a flipside of a Billboard number one record. The B side of Prince's 1984 number one hit "When Doves Cry", titled "17 Days (the rain will come down, then U will have 2 choose, if U believe, look 2 the dawn and U shall never lose)", is now the longest such flipside title, with 85 letters and numbers.

Another brother and sister team, Donny and Marie Osmond, revived "Deep Purple" with a note for note cover version of Tempo and Stevens's recording in 1975 and took it into the Top 20 on the U. S. and Canadian pop charts. It peaked at number 14 in March 1976 on the Billboard Hot 100, with Marie Osmond speaking the lyrics as Stevens had done in the version with Tempo. The song that succeeded the Tempo/Stevens version of "Deep Purple" at number one on the Billboard chart, "I'm Leaving It Up to You" by Dale & Grace, had also been a hit over a decade later in a cover version by Donny & Marie in 1974. Donny and Marie Osmond's "Deep Purple" was an even greater Adult Contemporary hit. It peaked at number eight on both the U. S. and Canadian charts. The song spent 23 weeks on the pop chart, far longer than did any other song by the Osmond family. Donny and Marie performed "Deep Purple" on Bob Hope's Christmas Party on December 14, 1975.

The tune was a favorite of Babe Ruth, and Peter DeRose performed the song at Ruth's birthday parties for about a decade.

The British rock band Deep Purple took their name from Pete De Rose's hit, as it was the favourite song of guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's grandmother; she would also play the song on piano. However, the band has never recorded or performed the song.
