Description
No relation to the Deep Purple rock classic, this was a not-so-subtle prediction of an Allied triumph over Japan (which includes lyrical images of extreme violence and resulting devastation that might today be considered offensive by some). Even more popular was the Red Foley version, which spent 13 weeks atop Billboard’s country music chart: https://youtu.be/H6fPVV6Q5XM
The 78rpm single was issued on OKeh 6736 - Smoke On The Water (Nunn-Clements) by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, vocal by Tommy Duncan, recorded January 24, 1945 .
