Early career
Glenn Hughes started his music career when he drop school in the 60's at the age of 16. Back then he was amember of a band called "Finders Keepers" which later changed their name to "Trapeze". In this band was also guitarist Mel Galley (later Whitesnake) and drummer David Holland (later Judas Priest). Glenn's early influences was mainly from Motown artists and he developed a funky style of bass playing along with a voice full of soul. With Trapeze he made four albums: "Trapeze", "Medusa", "You Are The Music, We're Just The Band" and "Final Swing". Trapeze were also the opening act for Moody Blues on their U.S tour in 1969, but the never really made it to the charts, even that "You Are The Music, We're Just The Band" was causing a minor success.
The Big Break
When Roger Glover and Ian Gillan left Deep Purple in 1973, Glenn was called to replace both of them in conjunction with David Coverdale. The idea seemed to be to have two lead singers of a great caliber. Glenn's impact on the band is unmistakeable since they definitely moved to a funkier/soulier approach during the following years with Glenn. In 1974 "Burn" was released and Glenn and Coverdale shared much of the lead vocals, even though Coverdale sang a little more. The combination of Coverdales bluesy voice and Glenns high range was a great combination and as Glenn stated: "David Coverdale is without a doubt a great shouter, but he couldn’t do the high passages, which is where I came in. As far as I’m concerned we were the perfect combination". Deep Purple released "Strombringer" the year after, which moved the bands style even more to a funkier/soulier style.
But guitarist Ritchie Blackmore didn't like the bands new direction and left in 1975 to form his own band.
