@SugarDaddy1411 he actually wrote the song with Blackmore, it's off the stormbringer album. although yes he did play it with whitesnake, so technically he covered it, but i don't think you can cover your own song....can you?
Hey man dont worry I understand your pain I also have my story its not a nice one and many other people are the same but we are too busy struggling in our own lives to notice. Great song enjoy and let heal your soul man like it does us all.
I have *never* heard a better version of Soldier of Fortune. This beats every single version out there. Just simply breathtaking. Does anyone know which concert is this from? I'd GREATLY appreciate it.
@gjakova85 Blackmore and Coverdale wrote this song together, while Coverdale was in Deep Purple. He's the one that sang this song, that's why Whitesnake is always playing this song in concerts.

David Coverdale sang this song on the record STORMBRINGER with Deep Purple when Ian Gillian was having a bad time. I always have thought coverdale has better voice then Gillian. Just my opinon.
@Galfyr23 yes david wrote this song with richie blackmore and the song is on a deep purple record. so this song then i suppose its a deep purple song. this live performance is amazing.
This is great Deep Purple's song and Deep Purple is my favourite band, but what you've got here IS NOT, I repeat - IS NOT Deep Purple. Let's make this clear, OK? This is Whitesnake! I've just now realised you're georgian, so you're excused I suppose...
Whitesnake - good info, but from what i have read and heard (from famous old rockers) a songwriter can easily lose the legal rights to a song cuz the label folk can swindle you, depending on how you sell your stuff. These days songwriters are screwed - in fact, stuff on Youtube contributes to their demise, but here i am watching anyway. Wish i'd started writing songs 40 yrs ago. I think songwriters should retain rights to perform their stuff!! Good songwriters may be "obsolete" :( no $ in it.
in no other song i can find myself like in this one. unfortenatelly. for a long time ii was a soldier in a terrible war. i travelled a lot in the world. i had cancer. i also was married., twice. without success. and i am only 34 years old. so i have a feeling that this song is written for me. or somenone like me...
@jesamludkorobinhood :-( sorry to heard what you'd gone thru' believed me GOD is not cruel!!! there're still a happiness out there waiting for you :-) may GOD bless you.bro :-)
@jesamludkorobinhood A late reaction on your comment, but I do hope things have turned out to be good for you. There are so many years to come, things can change and I am sure there must be some love in this live for everyone. I wish you a lot of sunshine. Stay safe and take care. Greetz from a dutch lady.
Coverdale wrote this song back when he was at Deep Purple . It was a song that the Deep Purple didn't want to release , but the Discographic company placed at their album . So coverdale has the tottal right to sing this song whenever , wherever !!!
This is Whitesnake version of Deep Purple's Soldier Of Fortune. Lyric of David Coverdale. This live Soldier or Fortune is "inside" the song Crying In The Rain. A 1000 Loving Snakes to all of you.
I have what i believe is a rare "Last Concert in Japan" Deep Purple live album from their 1975 Japanese tour featuring Tommy Bolin, Coverdale, Hughes, Paice and Lord. It has a great version of Soldier of Fortune, Burn, Wild Dogs, Lady Luck, Smoke, etc. Sadly, my little fox terrier ate a portion of the album cover.
this is Whitesnake with, as DC says at the end, "John Sykes on Guitar". DC recorded it with Purple in 74-75 for Stormbringer, but this version is by Whitesnake. I don't know if Purple ever played it live. Anyone?
my opinion: Ian Gillan the best singer Deep Purple ever had... ;-))

Whitesnake - good info, but from what i have read and heard (from famous old rockers) a songwriter can easily lose the legal rights to a song cuz the label folk can swindle you, depending on how you sell your stuff. These days songwriters are screwed - in fact, stuff on Youtube contributes to their demise, but here i am watching anyway. Wish i'd started writing songs 40 yrs ago. I think songwriters should retain rights to perform their stuff!! Good songwriters may be "obsolete" :( no $ in it.
