JON LORD - ORGAN and VOCAL HARMONY:

" Born at a "private and gradually forgotten" time in Leicester, Jon stands a slim 6 feet tall, possesses green eyes and brown­ish hair, He first played the piano at age 8, and when he was 9, began the first of eight years of instruction in the instrument. His first public appearance was in a church, playing for the choir at a social gathering. His biggest break was meeting John Coletta, present manager of DEEP PURPLE, and the greatest influence on his life has been the Hammond Organ." Flip, 1969
