• English vocalist David Coverdale founded the hard rock band Whitesnake after his tenure in Deep Purple and the release of two solo albums. The band's history can generally be split into two eras—the bluesier early period of the late Seventies and early Eighties, and the melodic hard rock period of the rest of the Eighties that resulted in an MTV heyday for Coverdale & Co.
