Tweet

“Strange Kind of Woman” is Deep Purple at their peak. The song receives group writing credit. “There was once a woman A strange kind of woman The kind that gets written down in history Her name was Nancy Her face was nothing fancy She left a trail of happiness and misery” Deep Purple was a band meant to be heard live to fully appreciate Ian Gillan’s vocals and Ritchie Blackmore’s guitar. That is how to hear “Strange Kind of Woman.” The song appears on compilation albums and the double platinum “Made in Japan.” “Strange Kind of Woman” was not a charted single in the US and achieved UK #8.
