When its finally done- The legend Graham Bonnet✨ World Wide Music Agency Ce Entertainment Sweden exclusive right for Sweden - Norway - Denmark - Finland - Russia - Latvia - Estonia - Poland. Graham Bonnet. In 1979, Bonnet was approached to join UK glam-rock band Sweet to replace Brian Connolly. However, he was chosen by Ritchie Blackmore to replace Ronnie James Dio as the vocalist of hard rock band Rainbow. This was something of a musical departure for Bonnet, who had previously identified himself more as an R&B singer. Bonnet would later credit his time in Rainbow, and his collaboration with Blackmore in particular as changing fundamentally his musical outlook to a more hard rock focus. He sang on the Down to Earth LP, which would become his most successful album. It spawned two hit singles in 1980: Since You Been Gone and All Night Long. During Bonnets time in the band, Rainbow also headlined the inaugural Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park, Castle Donington. Bonnets time with Rainbow was short and he left to resume his solo career, releasing the Line-Up album in 1981, handled by producer John Eden. Following on from his time in Rainbow, the album had a markedly more rock-based sound than his previous solo recordings, whilst retaining some of his former R&B influences. For the recording of Line Up Bonnet enlisted several well-known rock musicians including Whitesnake guitarist Mick Moody, Whitesnake and Rainbow drummer Cozy Powell, Deep Purple and Whitesnake keyboard player Jon Lord, and Status Quo guitarists Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. The album reached #62 in the UK Albums Chart. The albums lead single, Night Games, reached #6 in the UK Singles Chart, with the follow-up single, Liar, reaching #51. youtu.be/mvj2Wtu1RMA Questions, Contact or Booking World Wide Music Agency CE Entertainment Sweden Uffe Lidén, President Phone: +46708 928368 Skyp id: worldmusicagency E-mail: [email protected] Facebook: Uffe Liden ce-entertainment.se
