Biography

Former member of the popular collective Deep Purple David Coverdale founded Whitesnake in 1977. Since then, the line-up of the band endured drastic changes. Moreover, it is no secret that Whitesnake's activity has been associated for a long time with the name of the leader of this metal command. The musicians played blues in the beginning, but their creativity was overwhelmingly overheard. After the release of the debut Snakebite of 1978, Coverdale recorded his sophomore solo disc Northwinds. In 1979, Whitesnake caught the attention of the public not only with the qualitative tracks of the Lovehunter album, but also with its cover - it showed a girl, wrapped in the snake coils. In 1982, the unchanged leader disbanded his command in order to take care of his sick daughter. However, the band's resurrection and its transition to rock music in the Slide It In album indicated that Whitesnake moved in the right direction. Such hits as Slow An' Easy and Love Ain't No Stranger were a great amusement for the listeners.
