Rainbow 1975 - 1978. The Dio Years
Lyrics:
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow |
Rising |
Long Live Rock'n'Roll
In 1975, Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple, and founded one of the best classical
inspired rock bands in the World: RAINBOW.
With Ronnie James Dio and Cozy Powell, he began a great history of three years (1975-1978),
for me the best Rainbow years.
I was only 2 years old when that succeed, and so I never saw them in concert,
but I love the music since I first listened "Rising" a few years ago. I collect CDs, LPs and Singles of those years.
