Whitesnake
"Blind Man"
Album: Ready an' Willing
Released: 31 May 1980
Writer: David Coverdale
Label: Mirage/Atlantic (USA/Canada), Polydor (Japan), United Artists (Rest Of World)
"Blind Man" is a song written by English rock singer David Coverdale (most famous as a lead singer of supergroup Deep Purple from late 1973 to 15 March 1976, and then for his work with Whitesnake), "Blind Man" was appeared on his first solo album White Snake, released in 1977. Coverdale would use the album title as the name of his future band, first known as "David Coverdale's Whitesnake" and soon afterwards shortened to just Whitesnake.
"...The track that ended side one in the vinyl days 'Blindman' was a reworking of a track from Coverdales's first solo album "Whitesnake" recorded a couple of years earlier. If the previous track was similar to Bad Company then 'Blindman' was more akin to "Free". A wonderfully brooding melancholy tale it is surely one of Coverdale's finest lyrics and at times I'm of the opinion it is his best ever vocal. It knocks spots off the original version as the vocal is far more heartfelt and the musicianship is far superior..."
