They did - with the help from two Irish guys. The album came out in early 1973. It wasn't a success. In February, Thin Lizzy had a top ten hit with a single of their own. Read more about it here.

  • Ian Gillan: the Autobiography of Deep Purples Singer Free
    FREE IAN GILLAN: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF DEEP PURPLES SINGER PDF Ian Gillan | 288 pages | 08 Dec 2016 | John Blake Publishing Ltd | 9781786061355 | English | London, United Kingdom Ian Gillan - Caramba! Y ou might think Ian Gillan, at 75 years old, would be fed up with singing Smoke on the Water. It was even a slightly ill-fitting encore during his brief spell fronting Black Sabbath in the early 80s. He recalls the plight of Luciano Pavarotti, with whom he sang a couple of times, and who one day expressed his jealousy of Gillan getting to sing Smoke on the Water. We have to mimic our original interpretation. Which is unfortunate, because almost everyone who knows his work would describe Gillan as a hard-rock singer. Not least because he continues to front Deep Purple, who have just released Whoosh! A few years here, then on to something else. But we do pass messages, and the atmosphere is quite good. I was swatting at the air to wave away the smoke. It was pure Spinal Tap, a moment of panic. Then there was the Stonehenge stage set itself. Either the specifications had been in metres when they should have been in feet, or it was built at actual size. Either way, it was too big for many of the venues Sabbath were meant to play. The crowd reaction at that opening show was not the awe Sabbath had been hoping for. It was unbelievable. His autobiography suggests he spent a great deal of time either drinking or in search of drink, but he was a social drinker who drank to get drunk, rather than someone who needed a bottle next to him at all times, he says.

    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.3, 2010 // 407 COME HELL OR HIGH WATER Großbritannien 1994 R: Hugh Symonds. P: Heinz Henn, Lana Topham. K: David Amphlett. S: Niven Howie. T: Chris McDermott. Beteiligte Bands: Deep Purple. DVD-/Video-Vertrieb: BMG Video. Video-Auslieferung: Oktober 1994 (Großbritannien). DVD-Auslieferung: 29.05.2001 (Großbritannien). 124min, 1,33:1, Farbe, Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo/Dolby Digital 5.1. „Es würde mehr Spaß machen, mit Saddam Hussein auf der Bühne zu stehen als mit Ian Gillan,“ erklärte Ritchie Blackmore nach seinem zweiten und endgültigen Abschied von Deep Purple im Jahr 1993 [1]. Die Spannungen zwischen dem Sänger Gillan und dem Gitarristen Blackmore sorgten immer wieder für Probleme in der Band, förderten gleichzeitig aber auch die Kreativität der Mark II genannten Besetzung Ian Gillan (Gesang), Ritchie Blackmore (Gitarre), Jon Lord (Orgel/Keyboard), Roger Glover (Bass) und Ian Paice (Schlagzeug), die von 1969 bis 1973, 1984 bis 1989 sowie 1992 bis 1993 gemeinsam aktiv war. Insgesamt existierten von der Bandgründung im Jahr 1968 bis heute zehn verschiedene Line-Ups, betitelt mit Mark I bis Mark X. Der größte Erfolg war dabei, gemessen an Platten- und Ticketverkäufen, stets Mark II beschieden. Auch die großen Hits der Band wie Highway Star, Perfect Strangers oder das weltbekannte Smoke On The Water stammen von dieser Besetzung, in anderen Konstellationen war die Gruppe verhältnismäßig unproduktiv. Die Rivalitäten zwischen Gillan und Blackmore führten immer wieder dazu, dass einer von beiden Deep Purple verließ – in der Regel der Sänger Gillan (so geschehen 1973 und 1989), den Blackmore – er war Gründungsmitglied der Formation – weniger als vollwertiges Bandmitglied, sondern vielmehr als bezahlten Sänger betrachtete, den man nach Belieben ersetzen konnte.
