Whitesnake were a British rock band formed in London in 1978. The group originated as the backing band for singer David Coverdale, who had recently left Deep Purple. Though the band quickly developed their own entity, Coverdale was the only constant member throughout their history. Following the Snakebite EP in 1978, Whitesnake released the albums Trouble and Lovehunter, which included the live staples "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" and "Walking in the Shadow of the Blues". Whitesnake achieved commercial access across UK, Europe and Japan, with their subsequent albums Ready an' Willing, Live... in the Heart of the City, Come an' Get It and Saints & Sinners all reaching the top ten on the UK Albums Chart. By the mid-1980s, Coverdale decided to focus on the US market where Whitesnake was largely unknown. With the backing of American label Geffen Records, Whitesnake released Slide It In in 1984, featuring the singles "Love Ain't No Stranger" and "Slow an' Easy", which exposed the band through heavy airplay on MTV.
