Deep Purple by Acker Bilk
“Sadly, I choose this Jam in tribute to Bernard Stanley "Acker" Bilk. Bernard Stanley "Acker" Bilk MBE (28 January 1929 – 2 November 2014) was an English clarinettist and vocalist, billed as Mr. Acker Bilk on many of his recordings. He is known for his trademark goatee, bowler hat, striped waistcoat and his breathy, vibrato-rich, lower-register clarinet style. Bilk's 1962 instrumental tune "Stranger on the Shore" became the second No. 1 single in the United States by an English artist in the era of the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29874053 RIP, old friend. Your music will always be alive. #AckerBilk #DeepPurple”
