Reseña del editor:
Graham Bonnet was born in Skegness in 1947 and had his first hit single with The Marbles in 1968, "Only One Woman" which reached Number 5 in the UK Singles Chart - So runs Graham Bonnet's wikipedia entry. Of The Skyliners, The Peter Tomlinson Band, The Jimmy Aldred Band, The Jan Ramsden Band, The Missing Links, The Blueset, The Bluesect and The Graham Bonnet Set not a word. This new biography of the much travelled rock singer more than fills the missing gaps. Author Steve Wright was the ideal person to put this exhaustive book together, running the singer's fanzine for many years and with unique access to Bonnet's own archive as well as friends and family. The result is an honest and detailed read which will fascinate anyone interested in Bonnet's career, as well as wanting to know more about the development of pop and rock in the UK during the immediate post-war years. And what a career it has been! From Skegness to Australia, saw his early success (and top five hits) with The Marbles, then returning with a well-regarded solo album in 1977 which saw Bonnet high in the Australian charts. This proved to be the spring-board for his rock career, with both The Sweet and Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow keen to secure his services. Blackmore's offer was the more tempting, though following singer Ronnie James Dio in 1979 was a far from easy ride. "Mistreated was my audition song, because I didn't know any Rainbow songs!" Rainbow suddenly found themselves with well-crafted AOR chart hits in the shape of "Since You Been Gone" and "All Night Long". The band peaked at the first Donington Monsters Of Rock festival in 1980, but friction between Bonnet and Blackmore saw him leave the following year. A star-studded solo album followed, as well as a top ten single (Night Games), but Bonnet was quickly snapped up by the ex-UFO guitarist for the Michael Schenker Group (MSG) until he had one of his momentary lapses of reason: "I realized I had screwed up big time. They were so mad at me they almost got Gary to re-do the whole vocal tracks. So they took me down in the mix as punishment for my stupid behaviour." All will be revealed. Bonnet's most consistent rock project came in 1983 when he decided to put his own rock band together, and Alcatrazz became a huge draw on the rock circuit for the next four years, particularly in Japan. Now based in LA, the ever adaptable Bonnet continues to record and tour on a regular basis, with European shows during 2014. As for the biography, Bonnet has been sanguine about some of the wilder moments of his rock career. Taking the attitude that there is no point in airbrushing out events, he preferred them to remain within the context of a long and interesting career. Steve Wright's detailed research brings to print much even hardened fans will not have read about Bonnet's career, with plenty of rare photographs and memorabilia spread throughout the book.
