"Deep Purple" was the biggest hit written by pianist Peter DeRose, who broadcast, 1923 to 1939, with May Singhi as "The Sweethearts of the Air" on the NBC radio network. "Deep Purple" was published in 1933 as a piano composition. The following year, Paul Whiteman had it scored for his suave "big band" orchestra that was "making a lady out of jazz" in Whiteman's phrase. "Deep Purple" became so popular in sheet music sales that Mitchell Parish added lyrics in 1938.
Margaret Germano, better known as Peggy Mann (September 27, 1919 – summer 1988), was an American Big Band singer who was prominent in the 1930s and 1940s. She worked with the likes of Henry Halstead, Ben Pollack, Larry Clinton, and Teddy Powell, and also as a solo act, before retiring from the music industry in the early 1950s.

Born in Paris, Clerc grew up listening to classical music in his father Paul Alain Clercs home, while his mother Evelyn Merlot introduced him to the music of such singers as Georges Brassens and Edith Piaf.

Lyrics
This melody
Is a melody for you
Cette mélodie
Cest locéan entre nous
Cette mélodie
Deau salée et de mélancolie
Dans ton pays
Elle te revient parfois
Comme ça, voilà, comme ça
Le vent dici
Fait voler tous nos oiseaux
Les champs dici
Font ce quils peuvent pour les troupeaux
Les gens dici
Qui ne connaîtront pas dautre vie
Dans ce pays
Dont les fruits sont si beaux
Quon se contente des noyaux
This melody
Is a melody for you
Les gens dici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont dici, les gens dici,
Comme cette mélodie
Les gens dici ne sont pas plus grands
Plus fiers ou plus beaux
Seulement, ils sont dici, les gens dici,
Comme cette mélodie
Tu est partie
Mais ton rève reste au chaud
Ce vieux soleil
Etait trop fort pour ta peau
Cette mélodie
Qui reviendra parfois dans ta vie
Cette mélodie
Dans ta ville sest transformée en pluie, en pluie...
Thats why
This melody is a melody for you")
