Aldrich's albums are usually pretty , easy listening,but if you haven't heard one, it's worth spending up to three bucks to own your own little bit of authentic 60s experience. Not the Haight-Ashbury-Woodstock-Jimi Hendrix kind of experience, but the experience most people had. What he produced entertained millions, although obviously not cutting edge music. Put on Ronnie's take on "Music to Watch Girls By" and you can imagine yourself strolling down the aisle at the A&P or shopping for school clothes at J.C. Penney. Or riding an elevator to your dad's office. Or waiting at the Omaha Airport. Who needs Eastern philosophy to get blissed out?
Born at Erith , Kent, U K, 15th February 1916, educated in Folkestone and proved musically talented as he learnt to play the piano aged only 3 !!! After his musical career he retired to the Isle of Man, where he died, from prostate cancer, aged 77, on the 30th September 1993.

Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
In the mist of a memory
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle
In the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo,
Wo-o-oo-wo-wo

When the deep purple falls
As night falls and the sky takes on a deep purple hue
Over sleepy garden walls
Above the still and quiet walls of a peaceful garden
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
When the stars start to shine and light up the dark sky
In the mist of a memory
In the blur of a distant memory
You wander all back to me
You come back to me and I recall our memories together
Breathing my name with a sigh
Calling out my name with a wistful and longing exhale
In the still of the night
During the quiet and peaceful time when everything is calm
Once again I hold you tight
I hold onto you tightly once again
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
Although you are not here, your love still exists and exists in the light
And as long as my heart will beat
As long as I'm alive
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
We will always find a way to be together
Here in my deep purple dreams
In my dreams, which are the only place we can be together
