Gillan was born in Hounslow, Middlesex, England. He joined the band Deep Purple in 1969. In 1970, he sang the part of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. After leaving Deep Purple in 1973, he went into brief retirement before forming the Ian Gillan Band. The early band sound had a distinct jazz-rock aspect which proved unpopular and was replaced by a more high powered hard rock sound as Gillan reformed the lineup and shortened the groups name to Gillan. With the release of Mr. Universe Ian Gillan was back in the UK charts and through several more line up changes released a string of hit singles and successful albums including Glory Road, Future Shock, Double Trouble, and finally Magic.
Then he announced the band would fold as he needed to rest his damaged vocal cords. In 1983 he joined Black Sabbath to record the Born Again album before rejoining a reunited Deep Purple shortly after completing the Born Again tour in early 1984. He left Purple again in 1989, but rejoined for good in 1992. He remains in the band today.
Gillan is now working on a project to document his 40-year career, tentatively called Gillan's Inn. Tony Iommi, Jeff Healey, various members of Deep Purple and many others will be featured on this 2006 DVD project.
My Baby Loves Me
Ian Gillan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby loves me
Never does me wrong
Every time I'm feeling down she's on the telephone
To say she loves me
My baby loves me
She loves like a woman
Turns me on so badly that it really drives me wild
My baby loves me
And she don't care how
My baby loves me
Dances really slow
She's an entertainer and she really likes to show
How much she loves me
My baby loves me
She always moves so good
She¹s sliding like a cat
Everybody wants her but she¹s mine and that is that
My baby loves me
And she don't care how
My baby loves me
Always treats me right
Even when I'm gone I know she loves me day and night
My baby loves me
I give her all my money
Now you understand
Why everywhere we go you see us walking hand in hand
My baby loves me
And she don't care how
