Rainbow - Black sheep of the family

[@adensudrajat322]

best vocalist EVER, how could he sing so powerfull but still comfort to my ear..magnificient.

[@craigmadden6608]

YES!

[@Greatkingrat88]

He's my second favourite after Freddie Mercury, Dio was just an amazing singer.

[@arghyachatterjee2758]

Feel you bruh

[@MetalMistress888]

Powerful, and easy to the ear, as he is "pitch perfect" ! :-)

[@vitalygoji]

You need to Google for Ian Gillan

[@MrAdriancooke]

This is an underrated album and one of my favourites

[@troyevitt2437]

It's really Blackmore stepping into Elf. The guitarist wasn't just unceremoniously sacked, there was a few quid in it for him. He retired four hours from my home in South Carolina, US.

[@JaminJim2010]

If it's one of your favorites, than it's not underrated at all [!!]? Who cares what minipulating critics do to ruin things? You Rock!

[@jeffreyboyd958]

Without a doubt

[@zdravkobitunjac9542]

Vocal perfomance in this one is one of a kind.

[@paulovalentini5558]

This song is biggest part of me . Perfect album! The best work of Ritchie Blackmore.

[@ekakhimshiashvili387]

I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed My future's at the bottom of a teacup I've got a half a pair of shoes, and no time to lose I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up So fortune shine your light on me and my nose 'Cause we need some security You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows I'm the black sheep of the family I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice A mission called retrogression I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must If you want to make a good impression So fortune shine your light on me and my dog 'Cause we need some security While other folks are living high on the hog I'm the black sheep of the family Don't talk to me about society You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty Because there's nothing to choose between a handful of blues Double indemnity All the words are wrong, and my shadow's getting long I realise this song don't mean much I got an ache in my head, and want to go to bed Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees 'Cause it's true what they say about familiarity There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say I'm the black sheep of the family Oh my, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees It's true what they say about familiarity There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say I'm the black sheep of the family I'm the black sheep of the family Just me and my dog, yeah I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah I'm the black sheep of the family You got me on my knees I'm the black sheep of the family Yeah, yeah, yeah

Alright... I'm the black sheep of the family... but I can live with it!!

[@jonnyrainbow1]

Ritchie wanted to record this song with Deep Purple,but they wouldn't do it,so he asked Ronnie to help-just as a side project. He was so pleased with it,and the B side-Sixteenth century Greensleeves-he decided to record a whole album-And Rainbow was born.

[@fallandbounce]

Actually, Ritchie would play some of these songs for Purple, they'd get excited, then he'd tell them he was using them for his "solo" album. The band walked on eggshells for Ritchie, so they wouldn't turn down anything he put forth.

[@CB-xr1eg]

Actually..Jon Miller was correct regarding this particular song. Purple weren't interested because it was not a Purple original and they didn't want to record a cover.

[@widzewlordi]

Clive Bindley is it cover? I didnt know

[@GregTudor]

DP didn't want to record a cover? kzbin.info/www/bejne/haqogIyAec96fa8

[@apollomemories7399]

@@GregTudor This was 1974, and not when they just started in 1968. This was their 9th album, so why would they want to do a cover?

[@MrAdriancooke]

Not far from where I live there is a field which for some reason has a flock of black sheep in it and every time I see them I am reminded of this song lol

[@Pighood]

Sarah McLachlan did not write this. She was 2 years old when it was recorded for the first time by Quatermass.

[@anderslindberg1256]

This song could have been about me. Every one else in my family and cousins made it big, with grat jobs and great money, but not me. Ive always been poor, lonely and mostly out of work. Notjing at all works for me.

[@Steacy783NUTS]

Black sheep learn to live with less and how to be HAPPY without all the rest while those with the most learn nothing of a hard life and can't be happy even when they have it all and still want want what you have , contentment with what you do have . Honor.

Come Taste the Band. A brilliant recollection. I believe that was Coverdale? Bolin's TEASER was also beast. Pure PURPLE still hard to surpass. RB a guitar freak. Classic stuff like Truckin, Highway, Hush, etc of course....but my 2 faves are Rat Bat Blue and Knockin at Your Back Door and ALL of Burn, :-) Lay Down, Stay Down.

[@garettbauer373]

Why is the tone off? Sounds a tad slowed down.

[@GreenerHill]

Have only just noticed that some of the verse melody went into Tarot Woman a year later. "(I got) nothin' in my head, Straw for a bed, Future at the bottom of a teacup..." and "Something in the air tells me to beware - my, my, my..." are very alike. Just goes to show that even a genius like Dio has influences.

This song is by Quatermass, The Rainbow made a very good cover.

[@thinkingdinosuar1929]

by fat mattress, quatermass did a cover too

[@Isop3001]

Quiero pensar que Rainbow le hace un homenaje a Quatermas al atreverse a intrpretar esta cancion

[@MattSamma]

Jorge Lozada De hecho Rainbow se formó porque Ritchie Blackmore quería hacer éste cover y en Deep Purple no le dieron pelota.

[@pfelipeprog7094]

De acuerdo la de Quatermass es mucho mejor, la energía, voz líder, bajo, todo es excelente en la original.

[@mls300154]

Was originally recorded by Quatermass.Check it out if you don't believe me. Jhonny Gustafsson on bass, went on yo Roxy Music

Rainbow, at the time, and this song in particular, came nowhere close to the lofty heights of DP Mk2, or Mk3 for that matter. DP and RB dropped off my radar at this point. Just an opinion of a music fan.
