Graham Bonnet had his first hit single with duo The Marbles in 1968, with the single "Only One Woman", which reached Number 5 in the UK Singles Chart.
Bonnet then quit to do advert jingles. He appeared in the 1974 British comedy film, Three for All as lead singer of 'Billy Beethoven', a fictional band, along with several notable UK comedy personalities and his then partner Adrienne Posta, although his character's lines were limited to only two words.
In 1977, he released an eponymous album, which was certified gold in Australia. The single, "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", a cover version of the Bob Dylan song, also reached Number 3 in Australia in November 1977, and the following year the single "Warm Ride", written by the Bee Gees, a leftover from the Saturday Night Fever sessions, reached number two there in August 1978.
Early in 1979, whilst undecided what he should do next, a call from Rainbow’s tour manager Colin Hart saw Graham fly to Los Angeles to try for the coveted vocal spot with Rainbow.
