"Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition.

"Deep Purple" became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938:When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden wallsAnd the stars begin to twinkle in the sky—In the mist of a memory you wander back to meBreathing my name with a sigh.In the still of the nightonce again I hold you tight.Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams.And as long as my heart will beat,lover, we'll always meethere in my deep purple dreams....Larry Clinton and His Orchestra recorded one of the most popular versions of the song on 23 December 1938. Featuring vocalist Bea Wain, the Clinton version was a huge hit.
