Graham Bonnet 1981 Night Games Music Video

[@davew005]

Graham Bonnet is an absolutely awesome singer, such a tremendous voice with such great pitch and variation. He's so under appreciated in terms of not as many people know about him. Hugely talented.

[@Katsem]

Check him out singing Only One Woman - from late 60's, a song written by the Bee Gees, which they gave to the Marbles. His voice is phenomenal on it, totally different type of music, of course.

[@timcolder2789]

Totally agree. As he only did the one album with Rainbow people only think of Dio. I think this is one of his best tracks though. Bought it on 7inch vinyl back in 1981.

[@timcolder2789]

@@Katsem Yes, great song from the '60's. Could not believe it was G.B. as the singer at first until a radio station mentioned it.

[@mikeosullivan7871]

Agreed

[@Peterthepainter66]

He doesn't need a mic. He would take the roof of the Albert Hall with that voice without any amplification.

[@robertritchie2860]

Crazy to think Cozy Powell left Rainbow because of "Since you've been gone" (too poppy) yet here he is playing pop-rock...

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I doubt it was because of that. More likely it was because of Ritchie being....himself. 😁

[@bullwinkle60]

Plus he played with Brian May, who is awesome, but no harder than Difficult to Cure.

[@LuisDHern]

Maybe the sound, but these lyrics definitely are not “pop” 😂

This is much better than since you been gone

brilliant brilliant track by the brilliant Graham Bonnet

[@johnstairs]

Bonnet the one that got away.With that voice and image should of been up there with Bowie,Sting,Mercury and Gabriel in the 80’s and should of pissed on the likes of Paul Young and Phil Collins.If anyone asks you what does juxtaposition mean just mention Bonnet and Rainbow. Such a shame that he didn’t hit the highs that his voice deserved. Should have of been at Live Aid.

@@deanbarnes20 I agree with you, Dean. "Lost In Hollywood" is a killer song !!! It is perhaps my favorite from "Down To Earth". Hard to pick really though, because the entire album is awesome. With the exception of "Since you been gone" which I do not like. Now THAT song is total pop crap. It simply doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. However this song is great as well.

Awesome track by the ex-Rainbow frontman which i first heard in the dentist's chair on the radio while having a filling back in the day strangely enough. Isn't it weird how people remember where they were when they first heard a song!

[@ronaldphillips311]

By association.

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

I still remember the first time I really REALLY dug music - I was 3 or 4, riding with my dad in this dark blue 65 Pontiac LeMans we had back then. We were on the Old Huntsville Highway, which is concrete and makes a rhythmic sound with the tires as the tires hit the lines between the big concrete slabs. Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkel came on the radio, and dad was going at the perfect speed (or close enough, anyway) so that the song on the radio matched the bumpity-bump from the highway. I IMMEDIATELY became much more attuned to music forever afterward, eventually being struck mad with bagpipes and whistles and now I've built a feckin' gurdy...this may be out of control.

See the man on the busy street He's almost incomplete He takes his pleasure in strange ways And the lady in the liberty She's just like you and me You wouldn't know her at all She takes a train up to the great big city She knocks a door and steps right in He's just a fool that some would like to pity They work to out in the house of sin Chorus: Night games, they pay for their Night games, they work to numbers They' don't use names it says in the rules It's strictly for cools to play their night games They pay for their night games Always play one last frame Games of the night Every room is a different scene Every one has a dirrefent dream They make it anyway they choose You can get anything you need Anyone if the price's agreed And nothing left for you to lose It's entertainment for the lost and lonely And cabaret for those who dare The last attainment of the one and only It's got to be to get you there

Clearly Graham was an influence on Richie Blackmore as well. As Deep Purple's 1984 reunion song/album, "Perfect Strangers", sounds suspiciously similar to this, Graham Bonnet's song, from 1981.
