  • "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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.
