Deep Purple - Emmaretta download song

Jon Lord talked about the real woman behind this song in his interview with Rick Wakeman on his net program. Just search for both mens names in here. Ed= sing to song

This song and hallelujah are my faves . It's about emerretta marks . A gorgeous groupie from the past

this style is more like the hughes /coverdale era .....blackmore was playing "shoeshine " a lot earlier it seems !!!

Jon Lord's love song to a black lady he fell smitten with in New York City when Deep Purple was in studio.

The first 3 Deep Purple albums are long lost treasures. This one is on Purple Passages too - a good compilation from those early recordings.

Wish this had been a hit in England, as it was in the USA. I think Phil Lynott based Thin Lizzy's Johnny the Fox track on this one.

Revel in the "wah wah pedal" very rare for Blackmore.

(not sure why this carries on to 5:56 ???)

Deep Purple are amazing. Certain parts of the Ella Henderson song  'Ghost' reminds me of the lyrical melody in this song. Hear it and discuss...........

Good song but i wish the drum solo of ian paice is longer

Emmaretta, did you get my letter? I sent it to you, oh Emmaretta Do you still feel when night is falling Something calling, oh Emmaretta Behind my thoughts, oh Emmaretta I can get to you to feel better I must go now, oh Emmaretta Full moon's rising, oh Emmaretta Oh, it's a thousand miles Oh, and I need you child Oh, they can drive me wild What I feel can make it real Help Oh, it's a thousand miles Oh, and I need you child Oh, they can drive me wild If what I feel can make it real Emmaretta, did you get my letter I sent it to you, oh Emmaretta Do you still feel when night is falling Something calling, oh Emmaretta
