Graham Bonnet is considered one of the finest Rock vocalists
of his generation. Beginning his career in the sixties Graham
was one half of the pop duo The Marbles who scored a
worldwide hit single with the Bee Gees written song Only One
Woman.
Following on from the Marbles Graham embarked on a solo
career in the seventies and was one of the first signings to
former Beatle Ringo Starr's record label Ringo records.
Following one self titled album Graham was approached to
replace Ronnie James Dio in Rainbow. Graham featured on
the album Down To Earth and also the hit singles Since
You've Been Gone and All Night Long before he left Rainbow
in late 1980 following Rainbow's performance at the first
Monsters of Rock festival at Donnington.
Following his departure from Rainbow mid way through
recording the follow up to Down To Earth Graham recorded
his second solo album Line Up which featured many guest
artists such as Cozy Powell and Micky Moody. The album
also spawned the hit single Night Games which became a
staple of Rock radio stations worldwide. Following the release
of Line Up Graham then joined the Michael Schenker Group
recording just one album entitled Assault Attack and the hit
single Dancer.
Preferring the band format Graham decided to form his own
American based rock band Alcatrazz with whom he would
record three studio albums and a live album. Graham left
Alcatrazz in 1987 when the band folded and he picked up
his solo career once more which has continued to this day.
Graham's first self titled solo album was released in 1977
and was originally released on former Beatle Ringo Starr's
Ringo Records. The album was critically well received and
featured a broad selection of covers including Tired Of
Being Alone, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, (snatches of
which Graham used to sing live whilst with Rainbow) and a
cover of Bob Dylan's It's All Over Baby Blue which just
missed out on being a hit single in the UK. Amongst the
musicians backing Graham up on the album are Micky Moody,
Graham Preskett, Tony Hymas Mike Giles, Stevie Lange and
Pete Zorn. The album was a big success in Australia and has
been unavailable for some time on CD and never before
released on CD in the UK.
