- "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.

@@marcse7en 76 now! And I agree with them. We should be allowed to like at least 50 times! 😊
Don't we all want to hear our songs with the feeling we first heard it?
@@bold810 I'm pretty sure that only happens once..
Every night
Still rocking out to this tune in June 2020 in these troubled times. Long live Classic Rock!
I'm going to be 40 years old in July I still listen to these songs everyday
👍🏻🍾🍾🥂
@@timculhane625 53 and still rockin out
What..a..tune...
Amen brother! Amen!
Its just unfathomable how good and fashionable Graham Bonnet looks here. Also, Cozy Powell on the drums, what a beast. Love this line up.
He has sung this song with other bands but none of them can compete with Rainbow's version.
Graham Bonnet has such a distinctive and incredible voice. I am so glad to have grown up with all this great music.
THIS WAS IN GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG I WAS SO HAPPY TO HEAR IT.
Great movie needs good songs! 😎 🎶

Imagine I was only 19 then.
@@razalihusain I first came across this song 4 years ago as I am a music student.
Das ist echte Musik!! Ich liebe Graham Bonnet und seine tolle Stimme! ❤
Man, Graham Bonett can sing!! Totally underrated!!
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......
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.
Ritchie also?
BONNEEEEEEEEEEEEET ❤❤❤
Best lead singer this band ever had, perfect voice
I'm 58 years old/Young and I'm very thankful to be part of a chosen generation that was blessed and privileged to hear what music actually sounds like when placed into the right hands!
I thank Rainbow and all the bands they gave of their time and their talent for all of us for all these years!
Please share this music with the younger generations so that they won't miss out on what music actually sounds like!
As we've always said turn it up and rock and roll!
Thank you!!
Thank you too!
I'm 58 tomorrow and finding this is a perfect gift 🎁. Thank you. 👏
@@rw8733 Happy Birthday! 🎂
I agree, I'm 64, and I feel blessed that I grew up listening to the very best. From the Beatles,Stones. All the great rock bands ,from Zepplin to Sabbath. AC/DC,Too many to mention. Not forgetting prog rock,especially Yes. Throw in Motown ,Slade, and Bowie.
@@chrisstevens8505 Similar music taste on the rock side. 👍 (Well, we're all almost the same age, I'll be 60 in a month) 😎
I'm 76 and absolutely ❤ it. Your never too old.🤪
My dad would put Rainbow on during long car rides ahhhh the sound of childhood🥰
Glad the new generation get to appreciate this song and discover an awesome group
polydor 7" vinyl here.
Still listening in 2024!
This one hits high on my list of all-time favorites.
This song just rocks ..43 yrs after it's release.
I love that they can harmonize while still sounding hard
I hate today's so called music. I always go back to this . 61 years old and still moves me . Thanks fellas 😁
I hear ya!
Me too..love this time...
72 y. o. - the same
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
Graham Bonnet quite possibly has the quintessential rock singer voice.
He sang this song from the heart.. love this song ❤️
Classic rock perfection from Rainbow !!! Great track !!!
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.
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!
Heyyy rock n rollers who’s listening in 2024! ?!!!
Right phuckin here brother 🙌
Loads of us! Don’t underestimate the power of good music!
Best wishes 👍
❤
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.
2022 and still jamming this badass tune!! Love it!!
2024 and still lovin this!
Still love this track since I heard it aged 15 in 79 now nearly 60 and still play full blast
stands the test of time, still amazing
Such a classic. Should be played all day and every day🇬🇧🤗
Great , great , great song ....classic rock travel with us forever
This brings back memories. Haven’t heard this for 35 years.
Bonnett should’ve been a superstar with that voice and image.
The one that got away😢
I would go so far as to say that that image is what held him back. We're taking the seventies here. Short haired, smart casually attired rock band frontmen, was most definitely NOT generally considered a cool look.
Not to mention he was not an easy person to work with
Robert. Did not know about his mood
Love this song!✋
~ I Love This Also 💖 Sublime ~
At times during this beauty I hear Freddy Mercury and realize no, it's Graham Bonnet!!! Fantastic song and never gets old.
Both fantastic singers,Graham was up there as a Rock singer,he must have done his voice in after every session
No one did rock harmonies better than Graham Bonnet and Rainbow.
Classic and solid hard rock with powerpop melodic chords.
I love the late 70s/early 80s rock. Great era
Graham Bonnet's voice... perfect.
There isn't a single song released today that is half as good as this. Back when rock was ROCK.
If Deerhoof didn't exist, I would agree with you. That band is GREAT.
This is one of those songs everbody (with common sense) loves. I'm a 57 year old white guy. I heard Blondie while getting gas a couple weeks ago. Great stuff. And I'm a Beatles, Chuck Berry, Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Kiss, Queen, Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King, Freddie King, Albert King, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, The Carpenters, etc.................
And I'm sure also Thin Lizzy!😉
No wonder we all used to be fit dancing until late to fabulous music like this and singing along to every word. Thanks for the music and pleasure you brought great pleasure and still do to people.
😢😢😢 old memories coming back
Blackmores seemingly effortless solo is just brilliant!
So impresive Ritchie's guitar! Groovy adrenaline....💙
What a song! What an energy! What a voice! First I heard this in 1987 being a ussr teen.
I was 8 when this came out. I love it now as I did then!
You don't need long hair and leather jackets when you've got THAT voice.
Couldn't agree more, Bonnet deserves more albums with Rainbow
Incredible voice... But only at recording
Russ Ballard has been nominated for a 2024 GRAMMY for writing this song...Well deserved.
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.
I grew up in this era of good music, so I know what you are saying
High Fidelity my friend. I was there, dropping the needle and waiting for the magic after the crackle...❤
I’m 70. so lucky to be young at the start of all this.
Grahm Bonnet is one of the greatest and most underrated singers in rock history.
Thank you for your comment! 😎🤘 To everyone, my apologies for not being able to add words to this video, at least not yet....
And played with SO many great guitar legends...
Blackmore, Schenker, Malmsteen,
Vai....probably forgetting some.
So true! So dapper with a voice that can crush bone! He was the "cool" front man.
I agree, I’ve always loved this song!
Graham Bonnet one of the great vocalist of all time.
Absolute Banger, after years of changing my mind I want this at my funeral. Everyone smiling on the way out, perfect...⚡
Driving my 73 Dodge Charger and blasting this on the radio….. good times! 👍👍
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.
Make it loud brother
Can’t stop listening
Wow, have not heard this in sooo long. Just a great band.
I saw Graham Bonnet perform this last night, 74yrs old and still as good
Go Graham go!
Bonnet is the most incredible rock singer ever. The passion is tangible.
Takes me right back to my teenage years - awesome music 🎶💜🎶
Super Cool Graham, even after all these years! Brilliant voice, a classic.
Looks like this song is about to be appreciated by yet another generation . Gunn always seems to shine a light on the best songs people have forgotten 👍
Hard to believe when I was growing up this was heavy metal
I thought this one was always classed as hard rock. And the original by Russ Ballard was even softer.
Never Heavy Metal. More like Pop Rock. This turned most of us NWOBHM listeners off of Rainbow.
Like so many songs off the 70's will never get old
70's Rock will never get old, but mehhh to a lot of the other stuff that was around then. I lived through it, I know!
@@jazzylyn5857
Then you wearnt listening.
This song and the album was played 1979 in my VW-Beetle ( only 6-Volt electric ) with an booster! Old times, best greetings from Germany!
Powerful vocals. Great stage presence. Love the song.
i used to love this song when i was 2-7. i just remembered it and im now obsessed again 😊
9 years on and still likes the comments.
This music is just amazing. I knew it before guardians updated it and when they did i fell in live again.
Old music never die!!!!
one of my fave Rainbow songs!!!!
Man, these dudes could rock! Heard this when a caller requested this on Big 100.3 in D.C. The dj thanked the caller for this request. I immediately knew why.......
The stuff of legend.
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💗
Keep on rocking, great times, thanks for the memories 😂😂
The absolute and true guitar god with his Rainbow crew! This song has been my favorite song for decades!!!
Agree! I love all rainbow songs Man on the Silver Mountain was my first My favorite is Street of Dreams
This version is nice and loud...I love it.
Haven't heard this in forever!
I just want to hear this again for the first time, one more time.
Heard this on the way to work the first time still with a buzz from the night before it was great lmao
Great past. Musicians today could learn something from these great oldies
Vastly underappreciated song and band.
Bonnett is excellent here, but then the entire roster is excellent. This Rainbow lineup was amazing!
Heard this song on the radio the other day. Glad to be back
Graham Bonnet burning the house down!
one of the best songs ever
I agree.
Yea, it’s a decent cover version tbh
I love rainbow, and graham's voice, fantastic.
Since You Been Gone with a great Graham Bonnet. The music from this decade (70s and 80s) is unrivalled. A simply brilliant time.
JUNE 2021. We woke up with this song in our head. Never realized this was RAINBOW!
I just never knew! Wow. Anyway, Ken and I are 50 yrs old this year. We look fantastic but feel like crap! Woo! ♡ LOVE💘Rainbow💘 Stone Cold, and I thought I knew you so well.
🎧🎶🎤🌈
Brilliant and fondly remembered.
Agreed
That guitar solo near the end I remember hearing it as a 10 year old kid bought me to tears instantly like it opened a can of emotions never Heard anything like it since the way the guitar sounds like he folded it in half as it comes in what a sound timeless one of the greatest rock tracks of all time thank you Chris Kettle for introducing me to the sounds of rainbow
💯👍🏻🙏❤️
💯
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.
In the past 2 years, I started looking up former singers. He has about 2 dozen albums with his own band, Alcatraz, Impelliteri; and just released new music last year. And at 75 STILL sounds great!
One of my all time favorites...And I was 13 when it was released.
Powerful , Loving this so much . Great voice ✌️ High Energy ✌️
🌈 Rainbow 🌈
Graham awesome 👍
this song remember my grandmother. im italian , my mother from Austria, we used to go every year in the summer time to visit my grandma. As a child I loved to watch Tv, but didn't know so much of the deutch language, and so I always watched the spot of classic rock with this song. Ich Liebe Dich Oma
Johnny
Graham owns this song .
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.
Graham Bonnet is the coolest front man ever! Saw them in the 80’s.
Like a straight Freddie mercury
True dat
One of the many classics from 1979 remember this from school discos 😎👍 ......
My first LP bought as a child. I was in seventh grade. Fantastic
Just so good, makes you feel energised.
Flat out one of the best rock songs ever. Top band top singer. Top song.
Was my favorite song in 79 was getting high and rocking highschool....good times!
