Deep Purple - Stormbringer: Wikipedia Album Entry
Stormbringer is the ninth album by Deep Purple, recorded and released in 1974. It was also the second and last album recorded by the Mark III line-up, featuring:
David Coverdale - vocals
Glenn Hughes - bass, vocals
Ritchie Blackmore - guitar
Jon Lord - keyboards
Ian Paice - drums
The album was a further departure from the band's trademark hard rock sound in favour of soul and funk elements already hinted on the previous release, Burn. David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, the two new members of the band, had even bigger influence on the whole recording process than on Burn. Ritchie Blackmore, dissatisfied with the band's new sound, left Deep Purple after the completion of a supporting tour, putting Mark III to an end.
Just like with Burn, most songs on Stormbringer are sung by both singers, Coverdale and Hughes, except "Holy Man" sung only by Hughes and "Soldier Of Fortune" sung only by Coverdale.
Some of the songs from the album were performed live in 1974-1976 but none of them after the band's reunion in 1984, although Whitesnake (Coverdale-fronted band) and Glenn Hughes still include some of those tracks in their live setlists. "Soldier Of Fortune", although not performed by the band for almost 35 years (as of 2010), is one of the most popular Deep Purple songs among fans and has been performed live by Whitesnake, Jon Lord and Blackmore's Night.
The album was remastered and re-released in 2009, as a 35th Anniversary Edition, including the original album remastered along with some new mixes done by Glenn Hughes on disc one, and the whole album in the original 5.1 quad mix on disc two - DVD audio.

Deep Purple - Stormbringer Lyrics
Deep Purple - Stormbringer Lyrics
Comin' out of nowhere, drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running 'cause it's coming your way
Deep Purple - Love Don't Mean A Thing Lyrics
Oh babe
I gotta get down
If I work hard every day
Deep Purple - Holy Man Lyrics
Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Deep Purple - Hold On Lyrics
You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
Deep Purple - Lady Double Dealer Lyrics
Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
Deep Purple - You Can't Do It Right (with The One You Love) Lyrics
Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when Iâm alone with you?
Itâs causing me worry and trouble
Iâm going âround in circles

Deep Purple - High Ball Shooter Lyrics
Well, I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff, baby
Deep Purple - The Gypsy Lyrics
Tell me, gypsy, can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
Deep Purple - Soldier Of Fortune Lyrics
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
