  • Nino Tempo & April Stevens are a brother and sister act from New York. Formed in the early 1960s when Nino Tempo and April Stevens signed as a duo with Atco Records, the group had a string of Billboard hits and earned a Grammy Award as "best rock & roll record of the year" for the single "Deep Purple". "Deep Purple" was originally released as a "B-side" by producer Ahmet Ertegun, who was dubious of Tempo's belief that it would be a hit, calling it "the most embarrassing thing" the duo had ever recorded. When the "A-side" song, "Paradise", flopped, Ertegun relented, and the song achieved notability as the longest running hit B-side, a title it carried for 21 years. Music journalist Richie Unterberger has described the later song "All Strung Out" as Nino Tempo & April Stevens' "greatest triumph", declaring it "one of the greatest Phil Spector-inspired productions of all time". For years following their charting singles, the duo continued recording, but failed to achieve continued sales success. However in March 1973 the duo scored a #5-hit in the Netherlands with "Love Story" on A & M Records, two years after Andy Williams took that same song to #13 in the Dutch Top 40.
  • Nino Tempo e April Stevens è il nome di un duo musicale proveniente da New York, formato dai fratelli Antonino e Carol Lo Tempio. Nel 1963 il singolo Deep Purple, rifacimento di un brano del 1939, frutta la vittoria del Grammy Award come Migliore disco di rock & roll dell'anno. L'anno seguente il duo partecipa al Festival di Sanremo, interpretando in abbinamento con Remo Germani il brano Stasera no no no, che raggiunge la serata finale.
