Hush by Billy Joe Royal

The song was written by Joe South for Billy Joe Royal, which became just a minor hit. The more famous version is from Deep Purple, recorded in 1968 for their debut album Shades of Deep Purple.

Other cover versions:

  • Deep Purple 1968
  • Russell Morris & The Rubes 1976
  • Kula Shaker 1997
The version from Deep Purple was used in various movies:
  • Appollo 13 (1996)
  • Isn`t she great (2000)
  • When strangers appear (2001)
  • Beyond the sea (2004)

I think that the version by Gotthard is the best, because... Well, just because^^
