In 2016, Joe Lynn Turner's name was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Deep Purple. Among the compositions by which the artist is recognized even by those who are not related to rock music is the song "Smoke On The Water".

Joe was born in the American city of Hackensack, New Jersey on August 2, 1951. The father was an Italian emigrant, so the child, in accordance with tradition, was given the name Joseph (Giuseppe) Arthur Mark. Joe's parents were named Linkvito. It was customary to speak Italian at home, so even today the artist can speak it fluently.

The boy studied well and immediately showed the makings of a humanitarian. Mathematics was not given to him, but he did not have problems with other subjects, so Joe became interested in music in high school. He knew how to play the accordion, and began to study the peculiarities of playing the guitar, inspired by the work of idols. Among them were Otis Redding, Leslie West, Paul Rogers and Jimi Hendrix.

In addition to his creative inclinations, Joe also demonstrated sporting success. As a high school student, he played for the junior league baseball as pitcher and catcher. He was also interested in athletics, read a lot and immersed himself in anything that attracted his interest.

Music came first, although the young man could be realized in any direction, and his acquaintance with Mark Wexler, an aspiring musician and future manager, played a big role in this.

In his youth, Joe took part in the creation of several musical teams, but the most important project was Ezra, named after the American poet. Outwardly, Joe was different from his classmates, so going into music became a serious change in life for a timid guy who adheres to the hippie movement. The popularity that music could bring turned out to be one of Joe's goals, but he did not dare to think about the future.

The musician received his higher education in college with a literary bias. He studied well not only for the sake of knowledge. At that time, there was a massive recruitment into the army, and Joe did not dream of participating in the Vietnam War. After successfully completing his studies, Linkvito sometimes replaced college teachers, and his candidacy was brought up for a permanent position.

But the young man thought about a different kind of activity. He decided to come to grips with music. An Italian musician would hardly have resigned to show business, so Joe changed his last name, taking a pseudonym, and formed a group called Fandango.

Having worked in Ezra, performing original songs and covers, with a new team, Turner relied on rhythm and blues, pop, jazz, lyric rock and even country. The young man acted as a vocalist and played the guitar. The team took part in touring tours of popular bands, including The Marshall Tucker Band, The Beach Boys, The Allman Brothers.

Fandango released 4 albums and then disbanded. But Turner was not alone for long. He was contacted by Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and offered to cooperate. So Joe auditioned for Blackmore and joined the Rainbow band.

The rock group was hugely successful in Europe and Asia, but was not very popular in the United States. With the arrival of the guitarist, pop songs began to appear in the band's repertoire, which was emphasized by the fans. Perhaps this was the reason for her takeoff in America.

In the 1980s, while in Turner's band, Rainbow records entered the top 20 music charts. Joe has featured on 3 albums: Difficult to Cure, Straight Between the Eyes and Bent Out of Shape. The band disbanded in 1984 and Turner worked on a solo album called Rescue You. The disc was produced by Roy Thomas Baker, who previously collaborated with the legendary Queen. Most of the compositions were written by Joe in collaboration with Al Greenwood. The success was obvious, so the tour took place.

1988 brought Turner an invitation to the Rising Force band, fronted by Yngwie Malmsteen, and took part in the recording of Odyssey. A year later, the artist became a member of Deep Purple, taking the place of Ian Gillan.

The musician was greeted with joylessness by his new colleagues, and after a short grinding, Turner was accepted into the team. In an interview, the musician characterized this period in his biography as a dream come true. As part of the team in 1990, he recorded the album "Slaves & Masters". Critics were controversial, seeing echoes of Rainbow music.

The musician took part in the filming of videos and recordings of new compositions like "King Of Dreams". But relations between Turner and the other members of the band were tense, and this became evident with the recording of the new record in 1991. Some thought the artist wanted to put Deep Purple on the heavy metal path and were against it. The album was not ready by the time the record company was waiting for the work. The reason was seen in the disagreements within the team, Turner was fired.

It was an unpleasant moment in Joe's life, but it did not ruin his career. The artist became interested in working on his own projects, including the "Hughes Turner Project". He even became a guest member of Nikola Kotsev's rock opera and presented 3 albums with Mother's Army.

In the early 2000s, Joe Turner collaborated with Akiro Kajiyamo and released the album "Fire Without Flame", and also presented the project "Sunstorm" to the public. The artist demonstrated his talent and vocals by becoming a guest singer at The Voices Of Classic Rock Shows. In 2005, he participated in the recording of The Village Lanterne by Blackmore's Night.

There are legends about the interest rock musicians enjoy from the fairer sex. Joe Turner is one of the artists whose popularity has never faded. Girls were attracted by his features, lush hair, which envious people considered a wig, fame and creativity. The musician's personal life has always been accompanied by stormy romances. Joe broke up with his first wife, who bore him a daughter, after which he often appeared in the company of Russian girls.

He could not resist the pressure of the Belarusian beauty Maya Kozyreva, who became his second official wife. The couple met after one of the musician's concerts. Maya was married at that time, but this did not become an obstacle. As it turned out, the girl dreamed of Turner from her youth, dreaming of marriage. Despite the seeming absurdity of the idea, her dream came true. The chosen one moved to the USA. Children in the family have not yet appeared.

In 2018, Turner suffered a heart attack while on tour. After a concert in Belarus, he was hospitalized, but his health improved thanks to the care of his wife. Today, the artist keeps himself in good physical shape, although his height and weight remain a secret.

In 2019, Joe Lynn Turner leads an active lifestyle and, in confirmation, shares photos with fans on the official website and on Instagram.
