@Toadface Hehe. She's 93 and he's 87 now. This was Richie Blackmore's mother's favourite song and so became the name the band used. Like many teens, I was a Deep Purple fan for a while. Now I'm old and crumbling, I have to say, nothing they wrote comes anywhere near this song.
In Vietnam 65/66 I met two Negro (African Americans) out on an operation who would sing this song, ever so softly & beautifully at night. It was the first time I heard it & fell in love with this song. Shout out to D16 of the 173D (S). Baby Cakes & Double Ugly & their Track "Deep Purple. That was 52 years ago & I still remember them like it was yesterday. From a grateful Australian.
I was 14 when this came out, loved it. It is performed perfectly. My ex-husband served in Vietnam 67-68, I was a military(Army) wife. He was a tail gunner on helicopters. Thank you for your service.
The venue was a bar in Hollywood called Greg's Blue Dot on Highland. The owner had a "rock and roll" revival on a weeknight, and many sixties recording artists came by to sing along to their hit singles, played over the bar's sound system by the staff DJ. On this particular night, I remember Ronnie Spector (of the Ronettes) followed Nino & April on that staircase.
One of the greatest duets in musical history. Their voices complimented each other's perfectly. They're also pretty easy on the eyes. April is my idea of the perfect woman.
Amazing lyrics, jazz chord changes, perfect harmonies, up-tempo beat, background vocals, spoken voice overs, this song has everything and deserves to be played and remembered forever.
Absolutely *love* these two! I remember well in late 1963 when this creative treatment of "Deep Purple" topped the charts. April's consummate harmony and Nino's unique singing make this song a joy to listen to. April's smile is so pretty it makes my knees wobble. She is the *essence* of femininity...
Reminds me of that bitter sweet winter of 1963 between the JFK assassination and the arrival of the Beatles. The radio was my salvation during those dark days.
Actually, Dale and Grace's "I'm Leaving it all up to You" was number one. I saw a Billboard chart at americanradiohistory.com (they have reproductions of Billboard charts). The aforementioned song was by Dale and Grace. "Deep Purple" was number 3 that week. Interestingly, both songs were covered by Donny & Marie Osmond.
It's interesting you say that. I'll never know a feeling really like that. Even during a pandemic and other crazy world events, media is so spread out that there isn't the feeling of a huge collective group looking to one single thing for solace. 1963, i'd imagine a huge proportion of people would be listening to the radio at any given time. Kind of sense of community and belonging that just doesn't exist today.
@@chatman2a Actually, Deep Purple was number one on November11-16, 1963. "I'm Leaving It Up To You" by Dale & Grace was #1 November 23-30. But, Deep Purple was indeed, a recent hit... and still got lots of airplay. But, Americans are so damn fickle...
YOUR TWENTY YEARS OFF,..I listened to this song on the bus every morning on the way to enterprise highschool..IN 1963.....and its still a great song today in 2016,,,,,
wow....I think they sound amazing, live & older & this song sounds exactly the same....that's rare....this song was alittle before my time but I love it & they never lost it...well done
I really love them--they brought back tears of gratitude for the great memories of my youth, and my attendance to Hollywood Highs School--both Nino and April attended Hollywood High School
I remember hearing this on the radio back in my grade school days...pity it is so rarely heard these days. It seems a bit ahead of its time for 1963. Has a definite psychidelic feel and sound.
+JOE HAWKINS I can't subscribe to your psychedelic theory, but this might be because I wasn't doing acid when I first heard this song, even though by this time I was in high school. I was still susceptible to the romantic. There were a couple of other songs within the same plus or minus two years that I also very much enjoyed. One was an instrumental called Canadian Sunset. (Guess I'm going to have to look it up.) The other had the lyrics "There's a summer place, where love has gone..." (and I guess I'm going to have to look that one up too). But everything got blown away one day when my father and my sister and I were driving to a fishing hole 150 miles away from the city in which we lived. My ears tweaked to a song on the radio that I had never heard. "Dad, I have to turn this up." (It was summer in days before auto air conditioning, and we had our windows down.) So I turned it full volume, and I think I would have done so regardless of what my father had replied. "...and a man comes on the radio, and tells me how white my shirts should be..." I was listening to my first experience of the Rolling Stones' song "Satisfaction." Life was never the same. Talking to my one year younger sister a couple of years ago, she too still remembers that trip and that song. It didn't have the same effect on her. It didn't lead her into drugs and abandonment of formal shirts, though she knew that it was somehow a significant moment in her life. As for my dad, he's still alive, but it would have been better if I had put the question to him a couple of years ago. He may then have remembered. Today is too late. He's 93, and lives in some other time frame, the 1930-40s I think.
These song make me very emotional as it brings back my teenage years when I never missed the top 40 every week. I used to record it off the speaker in the old radiogram 🥲
OMG I love this so much! I just played Deep Purple about 6 times in a row and then came to you tube and discovered this! The ONLY Deep Purple for me is Nino and April’s! ❤️
I remember hearing this in my living room one afternoon in 1963 in Buffalo for the first time (I was about 9), and I ran into the kitchen and asked my Mom if she ever heard the song. She laughed a little at me and said, "Honey, that's a remake of a real old song when I was young." April and Nino could do remakes like "Deep Purple," "Stardust," and "Whispering," and make them their own, actually improving on the originals, as well as new stuff like "All Strung Out." They were the best.
+Dan Sm Yes! I've heard Artie Shaw's and Bing Crosby's version before which were classics! April and Nino did a harmonizing version which really gave that tune a kick! So, you guys decide what you like better.
I heard the 1933 version by a man where the song was slower. Stardust was from 1927 and popular around 1933 as well. But the tune didn't have any lyric until someone said it was way too long of an intro and needed a filler prior to the starting point for the words that were added. By 1930 the tune was sped up but the words needed to be slowed down which meant a remake as a ballad for easy listening and not always dancing to. mack the knife went though changes as a german song from an opera, it was changed again around 1930 where Lotto Lenna sang. The 1956 version by Armstrong in London was a Jazz based tune , but the 1959 Bobby Darin style was a hit even when it was about a thug that killed people for unpaid debts.
Happy Birthday Nino Tempo born on January 6, 1935. He is an American musician, singer, and actor. He was a duet partner with his older sister April Stevens as well as the frontman for a 1970's funk band, 5th Ave. Sax. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nino_Tempo
I love this song -- in studio Nino forgot the words on the 'break' and April sang them to him and he followed --they kept the take. I used to get the car keys and turn on the (tube)radio until I could hear this song.
This is song where legendary hard rock band Deep Purple got their name from. Seriously....it was Ritchie Blackmore's Granny's favourtie record. Respect to Nino and April.
Nino & April being sister & brother, explains the phenomenal blend they have in their harmonies. I never knew they were siblings. Nice little factoid to know. Thanks for sharing this video. I remember this song fondly from my teenage years. ❤️ 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦
this came out in the sixties. i loved the song so much that in the late 80's i was able to get the org. album of them. and it was out of print. but, i got it. love seeing them and hearing again the song. i was around 16yrs.old back then.
To,me this song is unforgettable. Always liked how April talked the part with such a sexy and feminine voice she made me shiver, when I Heard her. Nice to hear again and to remember my teenage days.
Usually, singers from that era go on their tours years later, do their hits, and God Bless 'em but it just sounds like a shell of what you remembered. No one's fault, time does that to you. This was a wonderful exception; Nino & April knocked it out of the park. BRAVO!!!!
This is one of my favorite songs and one I still like to hear although I first heard it in 1963. I like how April pronounces the lyrics so sexily. And Nino's voice as he sings is very good too.
Michael McLoughlin I couldn't of been more than 12 yrs. old But I could never forget this song-it makes me fel good seeing them performing it together again after all these years
Beautiful, beautiful so impressed. Deserved the Grammy they got! Still handsome Nino and obviously April too. One suggestion April: you are so pretty you don't need the make-up.
As a kid I spent every waking hour listening to the radio, and I remember absolutely loving this song, but only the Nino & April version, not so much the cover versions that followed later on TV variety shows of the era. Even Donnie & Marie had their version, changing the original lyric "sweet lover, we'll always meet" to "sweet lovers will always meet," presumably because their relationship already seemed creepy enough as it was. I get the impression that it was Nino who chose to change the original lyric "...in the sky" to "...in the night," and April reluctantly went along with it. Though they, too, we're siblings, gazing into each others' eyes while performing somehow didn't seem creepy at all.
Woo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, , Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo !! When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls, And the stars begin to twinkle in the night, In the mist of a memory you wander all back to me, Breathing my name with a ...sigh !!!! In the still of the night once again I hold you tight, Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams, And as long as my heart will beat, Sweet lover, we'll always meet , Here in my deep purple dreams !!! When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls, And the stars begin to twinkle In the night, In the mist of a memory you wander all back to me, Breathing my name with a sigh !!! In the still of the night once again I hold you tight, Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams, And as long as my heart will beat , Sweet lover, we'll always meet, Here in my deep purple dreams !! And as long as my heart will beat , Sweet lover, we'll always meet , Here in my deep purple dreams !!!! Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo !!!!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
April socute looking and very good and still handled that narration that was such a part of their stuff well even into 1983! Appealingly apple-cheeked,not unlukle another singer with her brother who ALSO did a similiar rendidition in 1976 and scored as well--Marie Osmond.Very coy sounding...needless tosya IMO the spoken part's the best.Very inimate. Unique arrangements were on those records!
Both wonderfully talented,sing from the heart and turn these standards(songs) into masterpieces.voices and harmonies are so wonderful and always loved and appreciated.

Their label refused to release this song long after it was recorded, believing it to be too hokey. It was recorded in the studio in under 12 minutes, went #1 on the pop charts and earned a Grammy award. Take that, suits!
Nino Tempo & April Stevens delivered "Deep Purple" to NUMBER ONE in 1963 with nothing promoting the record except their own talent
I am 93 yrs. old and discovered April and Nino about a year ago. I never tire of listening AND watching them.
Dear Ms. Siegel…Nino read your comment and wanted to send his regards and thank you for your very kind words.
Sadly, April died last year 12 days short of her 94th birthday.
To think she is 91 yrs old and he in his mid 80's. One of my favourite songs
@Toadface
Hehe. She's 93 and he's 87 now. This was Richie Blackmore's mother's favourite song and so became the name the band used. Like many teens, I was a Deep Purple fan for a while. Now I'm old and crumbling, I have to say, nothing they wrote comes anywhere near this song.
I guess Nino's still living, but April died 4--17-23, twelve days before she'd have been 94. I'd say she had a long and fruitful life.@@markcynic808

I usually sing my own songs at karaoke.

Sibling synchronicity, I do believe.
April is Stunningly Beautiful! Just Gorgeous! Lovely!
They are Brother and sister that’s why there voices mach so good. Great song duet I agree on that with you
Nino Tempo was a consummate multi talented musician as well as a singer.
What amazing vocalists!
Loved them then, love them still!
Thanks.
Random Factoid of the Day: Deep Purple, by Nino Tempo and April Stevens, was the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song on Nov. 22, 1963.
Isn't is amazing. Now 50 years later I'm thinking of this song and 11/22/1963 was when Kennedy was assassinated. A great song.
People get old and change, They still did a good job. I like to listen to them when they first sang Deep Purple.
Thank you Angel! I've been in bands since middle school and when u get to that old age,it gets harder to hit those high notes!
ain't that the truth
They did a great job. Oh the memories!
Wonderful Song expressing beautiful Sentiments.
All time great record that stands the test of time.
Amazing lyrics, jazz chord changes, perfect harmonies, up-tempo beat, background vocals, spoken voice overs, this song has everything and deserves to be played and remembered forever.
It's a thing of beauty. All previous treatments, even Artie Shaw's, are like wilted lettuce when compared with this.
It will be remembered by me, at least, as long as I live…
remembering the day when my fav group went from round a bout to Deep purple richies grand mothers fav song

Evan Dahill Indeed, "Deep Purple" was #1 on the Billboard Chart on Friday, that day, that month, in that city: November 22, 1963 (Dallas, Texas).
Aint that the truth

They're still a very attractive pair at this age! So very talented. Thank you for this post.
This is one of the songs that always gives me chill bumps up and down my legs.

I love it too and I am someones mother..smile
NINO TEMPO and his sister APRIL STEVENS are both very much still with us! They were and are GREAT!!
You can tell April kept her professionalism.
I was 13 yrs old, love it
RedSee I, also!
Timeless Thanks for a good memory
I was so in love with this son when it came out and for years and even now.
I really love them--they brought back tears of gratitude for the great memories of my youth, and my attendance to Hollywood Highs School--both Nino and April attended Hollywood High School
Gorgeous singing.Beautiful song.Eternal
this song has a lot of meaning in my life.

I loved this song the moment I heard it way way back in the 1968ish around there!
April is still adorable. Nino, still as handsome as ever. So glad to see you're still singing this gem.
Gosh, Ms April was still as beautiful as ever in this video.. Awesome song..and the part where she did the solo..DAMN, be still my beating heart.
OMG I love this so much! I just played Deep Purple about 6 times in a row and then came to you tube and discovered this! The ONLY Deep Purple for me is Nino and April’s! ❤️
When she speaks those lyrics, I fall in love. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
日本人として初めてのコメントかな? １９６３年掉尾を飾る名曲だと思います。レコードなかなか入手出来ず、今こうして聴けるのは至福の至りであります。おふたりとも綺麗に年をとられてますね。末永くお幸せに!! 姉弟デュエットだったのですね----
..... And Richie S Blackmore grandma said : Love this song , let s make History
love it! Nino is too hot!
April is super hot
I remember this from 1963, when I joined the AF in October!
Great song. Brings back alot of memories.
I remember hearing this in my living room one afternoon in 1963 in Buffalo for the first time (I was about 9), and I ran into the kitchen and asked my Mom if she ever heard the song.

I believe they are from Niagara Falls, NY'
Such a lovely song!! Good arrangement and nice harmonies! Really stands out as one of the unique duo tunes of the sixties! God bless you guys!!
The song actually goes back to the 1930s.

The band Deep Purple was named after this song. In hoor of the lead singers mom's favorite song.
Not quite - it was one of Ritchie Blackmore's (guitarist) grandmother's favourite songs.
@@marigoldman yep...his grandmother.
@@marigoldman exactomundo
I love them, always have!!!
Genetic's for sure!
Born in 63. One of my favorite songs of all time.
One of the very few melodies that hits every note of the chromatic scale.
I love this song -- in studio Nino forgot the words on the 'break' and April sang them to
him and he followed --they kept the
take. I used to get the car keys and turn on
the (tube)radio until I could hear this song.
This is song where legendary hard rock band Deep Purple got their name from. Seriously....it was Ritchie Blackmore's Granny's favourtie record. Respect to Nino and April.
I heard this song on the (am) radio when i was in 5th grade... Loved it then and today! Thanks s sir----
Can't tell you how many memories this brings back.
Even in these days they are FANTASTIC!!!!
Nino & April being sister & brother, explains the phenomenal blend they have in their harmonies. I never knew they were siblings. Nice little factoid to know. Thanks for sharing this video. I remember this song fondly from my teenage years. ❤️

we luv april and nino
this came out in the sixties. i loved the song so much that in the late 80's i was able to get the org. album of them. and it was out of print. but, i got it. love seeing them and hearing again the song. i was around 16yrs.old back then.
So beautiful
I fell in love with him in 1963 and still havn't found my way out!!
This is absolutely lovely.
I have loved this song for so long, I got Ken Done to tape this for me on a reel to reel when we worked together at J Walter Thompson
Harmonious melody..sweet & tuneful.
To,me this song is unforgettable. Always liked how April talked the part with such a sexy and feminine voice she made me shiver, when I Heard her. Nice to hear again and to remember my teenage days.
Yes, it's astonishing to me that any American boy who heard that recording in 1963 could have turned out gay.
@@bobtaylor170 Who's gay? Not me in any case.
Jorge, I wasn't saying you were. And it was a joke, in any case. I was just making the same point you were, only in a different way.
Usually, singers from that era go on their tours years later, do their hits, and God Bless 'em but it just sounds like a shell of what you remembered. No one's fault, time does that to you. This was a wonderful exception; Nino & April knocked it out of the park. BRAVO!!!!
All great songs. So glad it was shared here on utube!
I have that song on cassette. Damn I'm old. lol

I love that their track is playing in the background
This is one of my favorite songs and one I still like to hear although I first heard it in 1963. I like how April pronounces the lyrics so sexily. And Nino's voice as he sings is very good too.
RIP April and a huge thank you from Ritchie Blackmore
I heard this song on the "oldies" radio station back in the 1990s, and it took me 20 years to find it because I'd mis-heard the lyrics so badly :)
i enjoyed this posting. takes me back.

As a kid I spent every waking hour listening to the radio, and I remember absolutely loving this song, but only the Nino & April version, not so much the cover versions that followed later on TV variety shows of the era.

Though they, too, we're siblings, gazing into each others' eyes while performing somehow didn't seem creepy at all.
