When i was 10 my dad used to listen this song over and over again. A month ago i lost him. And this song reminds me of him. Rest in peace, ill miss you so much dady...
Back in those days you can organize Woodstock without burning down a city or calling out a national state of emergency. Despite the fact that drugs was also involved.
@SweetGunsOMine96 i asked myself the same question so many times, but well, at least now we can watch this on youtube, imagine living before this stuff was released D: Amazing song!
Naa, we'd only slag you if you said Opeth was better than Purple's lol
I've heard Opeth's version and it's not bad, but I prefer this one having been a Purple fan since Adam seduced Eve !! ( or was it the other way round ?? )
No, it's the same as any music fan knowing that Rainbow were formed in 1973 after Ritchie left Purple, this song was on Rainbow's 1st album, and Purple stole it..I didn't come here to give idiots like you a history lesson..the only thing you got right is that Ritchie composed it..please check your facts before leaving ridiculous comments !
Rainbow formed - April 1975. From Blackmore's Night official webiste. So, unless Blackmore's own band's official website was made by "idiots", as you put it, Rainbow were NOT formed in 1973.
"Stormbringer", which contains "Soldier of Fortune", was released in December 1974. From Deep Purple's official website. According to both BN's and DP's websites, at that point Blackmore was still a member of DP.
yeah either tht or they hide ther sexual harassmental side by secretly getting woman naked while saying its a physical and the regualr docktor is sick
One of the most beautiful songs of it's time, and still so very adequate today. I grew up listening to these songs (thanks to my parents), and now I salute Deep Purple. Thank You for giving me THE true music experience.

Ik weet niet wat ik met dit nummer heb maar hoe vaak ik het ook hoor er gaat steeds een siddering door me heen , en ik kan toch niet helemaal de tekst verstaan , is daar een programma voor die teksten vertaald in nederlands?

The year after Blackmore left?
He left in 1975

no the year after they wrote it blackmore left..
And coverdale wrote most of the lyrics for this one before he joined purple, I think..

Yea I know, it was written in '74. I wasn't serious about Rainbow stealing it, but Blackmore left Purple in '75 and formed Rainbow later that year.

You can't be much of a fan if you really had to check websites for that info...it should be common knowledge to any Rainbow or Purple fan. !!
By the way, S.O F. was composed by Coverdale and Blackmore, not just Blackmore.
