Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band's commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.

The band's 1987 self-titled album was their most commercially successful worldwide, and contained two major US hits, "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love", reaching number one and two on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went 8 times platinum in the US, and the band's success saw them nominated for the 1988 Brit Award for Best British Group.Slip of the Tongue (1989), was also a success, reaching the top 10 in the UK and the US, and received a platinum US certification. The band split up shortly after this release, but had a reunion in 1994, and released a one-off studio album, Restless Heart (1997).

Whitesnake (album)

Whitesnake is the self-titled seventh studio album by British rock band of the same name, released in 1987. The album produced a major power ballad hit, "Is This Love". The album was a major crossover hit eventually selling over eight million copies in the US (and thus going eight times platinum). The album peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart. Its success in the US boosted its predecessor, Slide It In, from gold to double platinum status. Its success would see the band receive a nomination for the Brit Award for Best British Group in 1988.

This album was released in Europe and Australia as 1987 and as Serpens Albus in Japan with a different track listing (see below). A remastered reissue of this album, featuring a DVD with video clips and live performances, was released in 2007 as the 20th anniversary special edition.

Background

During the supporting tour for the band's previous album Slide It In, singer David Coverdale and drummer Cozy Powell's relationship had started to strain. In 1985, after the band's performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil, the last show of the Slide It In tour, Powell left the group. Prior to his leaving, Coverdale was actually about to fold the band, but executives at Geffen Records (with whom Whitesnake had recently signed with in the US only, while outside the US they remained with EMI) asked Coverdale to continue working with guitarist John Sykes, as they saw potential in the two.

    Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City

    by: Whitesnake

    Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
    Ain't no love in the heart of town.
    Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
    Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
    Baby, since you been around.
    Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
    Ain't no love in the heart of town.
    Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
    Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
    Every place that I go,
    Well, it seems so strange.
    Without you love, baby, baby,
    Things have changed.
    Now that you're gone
    Y'know the sun don't shine,
    From the city hall
    To the county line, that's why
    Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
    Ain't no love in the heart of town.
    Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
    Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
