Musical artist
Graham Bonnet (born 23 December 1947) is an English rock singer. He has recorded and performed as a solo artist and as a member of several hard rock and heavy metal bands including Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Alcatrazz, and Impellitteri.[1] He is known for his powerful singing voice but is capable of also singing soft melodies.[2][3][4][5][6] His singing has been noted as "very loud" by both his contemporaries and himself,[7] and he claims to be a self-taught singer with "no discipline for lessons".[8]
Bonnet's visual style, considered uncharacteristic of hard rock musicians, has been described as being a cross between Don Johnson in Miami Vice and James Dean.[9]
