Rainbow - Tearin Out My Heart

Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow or Blackmore’s Rainbow) are a British Rock Band, formed in 1975 by Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. They were originally established with Ronnie James Dio’s American Rock Band “Elf“, but after their self-titled Debut Album, Blackmore fired the backing Members and continued with Dio. Rainbow recorded two more Studio Albums with Dio—Rising (1976) and Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll (1978)—before he left the Band to join Black Sabbath in 1979. Blackmore asked Ian Gillan to replace Dio, but Gillan turned him down. After a series of auditions, Graham Bonnet was recruited. Powell stayed, but Daisley was fired, and David Stone quit the Band to be replaced by Keyboardist Don Airey. At first the Band auditioned Bass Players, but at Cozy Powell’s suggestion Blackmore hired another former Deep Purple Member, Roger Glover, as a Producer, Bassist and Lyricist. Bonnet and Powell were replaced by Americans Joe Lynn Turner and Bobby Rondinelli. Th
