Rainbow - Since You Been Gone [Original 1979 version]
Музыка
"Since You Been Gone" is the title of a rock song written and recorded by former Argent guitarist, Russ Ballard, and first released on his 1976 album, Winning.
"Since You Been Gone"- Rainbow's 1979 hit version from the song is from the album Down to Earth, released in 1979. Rainbow's cover version featuring lead singer, Graham Bonnet, was a Top 10 single in the United Kingdom and was named the 82nd best hard rock song of all time by VH1. Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow) were a British hard rock band formed in California, controlled by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore from 1975 to 1984 and 1994 to 1997. They were originally established with American rock band Elf's members, though over the years Rainbow went through many line-up changes with no two studio albums featuring the same line-up. In addition to lead singers Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White, the project consisted of numerous backing musicians. The band started out combining mystical lyric themes with neo-classical metal, but went in a more streamlined commercial style following Dio's departure from the group. Rainbow were ranked No. 90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. The band has sold over 28 million albums worldwide and 4 million albums in the United States.

He has sung this song with other bands but none of them can compete with Rainbow's version.
Das ist echte Musik!! Ich liebe Graham Bonnet und seine tolle Stimme! ❤
Graham’s voice is the reason why we like this song. He makes this song better than it actually is. It lends grit to what is basically a standard rock song.

Honestly, he can give Dio a run for his money. He could do the hard edge but could do a soft bridge in there as well. More versatile in my opinion.
And yet another great song from an era of GREAT bands, old muscle cars and REAL freedom. Damn do I miss that time......

excellent classic rock song. there are so many bands out there that are underrated and Rainbow was one of them. this band deserves alot more credit than got.
Still love this track since I heard it aged 15 in 79 now nearly 60 and still play full blast
If an artist made this type of song today it would blow everything else out of the water. They just write to a formula today, or try airy fairy types of music that don't hit you in the gut like the old days.
Graham Bonnet's voice... perfect.
This music from the 70s and 80s is absolutely great. A time that cannot be compared with today. Only those who experienced it know what I mean. Oh yes, and then there's the excellent Graham Bonnet.
SO appreciate these guys! I was 11 when this song was released and now 52 and STILL know and rock with these guys! So many years of " growing pain" memories and thank you to my older Sis Valerie R Johnson for all of this beauty in music that you've given me and RIP, 3-23-95 See on the flip Sis. Denise in PA
Classic and solid hard rock with powerpop melodic chords. I love the late 70s/early 80s rock. Great era
Blackmores seemingly effortless solo is just brilliant!
What a song! What an energy! What a voice! First I heard this in 1987 being a ussr teen.

Now keep in mind Ricky Blackmore had huge reservations on Graham Bonnet cause of his not so traditional hard rocker look and wanted him to be more rough and tough looking. Graham himself had more of the that Las Vegas clean cut look ,which ironically enough gave him an advantage.He was also to succeed the likes of Dio before him, not only did Graham do that but in a lot of ways surpassed him and proved not to judge a book by its cover.
Classic rock perfection from Rainbow !!! Great track !!!
Not heard this for years, reminds me of being a teenager. Something made me want to search for this today. I still knew all the words. I still love the " Ugghh" noise he makes. Classic song. Happy days!
This brings back memories. Haven’t heard this for 35 years.
Absolute Banger, after years of changing my mind I want this at my funeral. Everyone smiling on the way out, perfect...⚡
Great , great , great song ....classic rock travel with us forever
Graham knocks it out
😢😢😢 old memories coming back
I’m 70. so lucky to be young at the start of all this.
I was sitting at a light when I heard the intro start in the car behind me and I was like what a great fucking song. Hit 95 fast and furious just to get home to hear this. One of the best songs of all time in my opinion💗
Graham Bonnet burning the house down!

I agree, I’ve always loved this song!
When you sit back, and look at the grand scheme of everything, and your between 45-60yrs old, we were part of the technical revolution, but knew a life, very well, with turntables, LP’s, 3, 4 , 5 man bands, who for the most part, were as good or better live, as their studio versions. Today, let alone a good band, you need to search a bit to find true musicians. Musical artists, entertainers and performers are a dime a dozen, and when they need a machine to perform at a Super Bowl, for fear of making a mistake, they just made one, losing my respect.

For me it was a Ford Torino Fastback with chrome thrush mufflers, running boards and a boombox for a stereo. I got a great deal on it ($700) since it was a total heat score! I was the envy of all my friends and it was a total chick magnet. Had this tape (among many others) in a shoebox on the passenger seat. Sigh, the good old days.
