西城秀樹さんのシングルで知った曲だが、本家はさらにゆったりとしたリズムで重厚感がありますね。 I first heard him on a single by the late famous Japanese singer, Saijo Hideki. Graham Bonnet's songs have a heavily and profound worldview.
Graham Bonnet is an absolutely awesome singer, such a tremendous voice with such great pitch and variation. He's so under appreciated in terms of not as many people know about him. Hugely talented.
Check him out singing Only One Woman - from late 60's, a song written by the Bee Gees, which they gave to the Marbles. His voice is phenomenal on it, totally different type of music, of course.
Totally agree. As he only did the one album with Rainbow people only think of Dio. I think this is one of his best tracks though. Bought it on 7inch vinyl back in 1981.
One of the most rock n'roll of rocker deaths, at 104mph on a UK motorway (70 limit) recent drink in the system and on the mobile to somebody else's wife... last words Oh! Shit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_Powell#Death
Hace tres días,pude ver por segunda vez en mi vida a Graham Bonnet,y a sus 75 años,hizo un concierto espectacular,tocando muchos de sus clásicos,entre ellos este pedazo de tema.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Saw him with cozy in rainbow 1980, fantastic powerful voice and so cool, imagine if rainbow brought this out as a single? it would have been a big hit im sure 🤘😀
@@paulcolville5972 yes that’s right had Jon lord on keyboards and cozy Powell on drums was 81 I think, very much in the rainbow style and a great song to boot
See the man on the busy street He's almost incomplete He takes his pleasure in strange ways And the lady in the liberty She's just like you and me You wouldn't know her at all She takes a train up to the great big city She knocks a door and steps right in He's just a fool that some would like to pity They work to out in the house of sin Chorus: Night games, they pay for their Night games, they work to numbers They' don't use names it says in the rules It's strictly for cools to play their night games They pay for their night games Always play one last frame Games of the night Every room is a different scene Every one has a dirrefent dream They make it anyway they choose You can get anything you need Anyone if the price's agreed And nothing left for you to lose It's entertainment for the lost and lonely And cabaret for those who dare The last attainment of the one and only It's got to be to get you there
@@deanbarnes20 I agree with you, Dean. "Lost In Hollywood" is a killer song !!! It is perhaps my favorite from "Down To Earth". Hard to pick really though, because the entire album is awesome. With the exception of "Since you been gone" which I do not like. Now THAT song is total pop crap. It simply doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. However this song is great as well. Simply two different tempos.😊
Awesome track by the ex-Rainbow frontman which i first heard in the dentist's chair on the radio while having a filling back in the day strangely enough. Isn't it weird how people remember where they were when they first heard a song!
I still remember the first time I really REALLY dug music - I was 3 or 4, riding with my dad in this dark blue 65 Pontiac LeMans we had back then. We were on the Old Huntsville Highway, which is concrete and makes a rhythmic sound with the tires as the tires hit the lines between the big concrete slabs. Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkel came on the radio, and dad was going at the perfect speed (or close enough, anyway) so that the song on the radio matched the bumpity-bump from the highway. I IMMEDIATELY became much more attuned to music forever afterward, eventually being struck mad with bagpipes and whistles and now I've built a feckin' gurdy...this may be out of control.
Bonnet the one that got away.With that voice and image should of been up there with Bowie,Sting,Mercury and Gabriel in the 80’s and should of pissed on the likes of Paul Young and Phil Collins.If anyone asks you what does juxtaposition mean just mention Bonnet and Rainbow. Such a shame that he didn’t hit the highs that his voice deserved. Should have of been at Live Aid.
What an incredible voice. Always loved the way he bucked the typical rock/metal look with the sharp suits, shades and short hair ( much to Ritchie's dismay) That's a resume of guitarists he played with! Blackmore, Malmsteen, Vai and Schenker. All quite decent! :)
Hi,'do you know what' I've just came into my kitchen to make me a coffee and pop the radio on and I must admit there wasn't anything on what attracted me on,so i put my cassette player on and I discovered I had left a tape in the player and I started to play it,and the song at time was this fabulous song"night games 'it had been in the loader for many years ago and I completely forgot, when I played it at first the song kept repeating on my mind but the song came back to me,and it uplifted my soul,such a fabulous song sung and perform by this fabulous band.thanks for bringing back the fabulous memories,🎶🍀🤸
Clearly Graham was an influence on Richie Blackmore as well. As Deep Purple's 1984 reunion song/album, "Perfect Strangers", sounds suspiciously similar to this, Graham Bonnet's song, from 1981.

@@Katsem Yes, great song from the '60's. Could not believe it was G.B. as the singer at first until a radio station mentioned it.
Agreed
やっぱりｸﾞﾗﾊﾑいいね～。こんなヤツなかなかでてこないﾖ!
He doesn't need a mic. He would take the roof of the Albert Hall with that voice without any amplification.
Criminally underrated Rock vocalist Graham deserved/deserves a lot more credit for his body of work Jim, Surrey, UK
今の時代にはない力強いサウンドが大好きです。いつまでも聴きたい曲です。 😺
Graham Bonnet は世界一大好きなボーカリストです。
大ファンです。
Finally, a good song from the 80's whose videoclip isn't ridiculous!!!!
Lol!!
ノン ビブラートのハイトーン❤痺れるぜ！
Best Bonnet song of alltime including Rainbow.
'Eyes of the world' is a phenomenal song. As is 'Samurai' by MSG.
@@adamwarlock5286 Yeah, Samurai gets my vote.
Me quedo con All night long- del monster of rock
Who would of thought Skegness could produce such a singer BRILLIANT
as a kid i thought he was from usa....i still did until now....fair play...awesome singer..
Well something good needed to come out of Skegness!.....................sorry Butlins :)
やっさんのナイトゲーム定期的に聞きたくなる。
what a vocal performance! still dig it 40 years on.
And he still has a voice that could strip paint off a barn door at half a mile. A great rock voice.
great voice and great musicians as well
Full line-up album personnel here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-Up_(Graham_Bonnet_album)
Crazy to think Cozy Powell left Rainbow because of "Since you've been gone" (too poppy) yet here he is playing pop-rock...
I doubt it was because of that. More likely it was because of Ritchie being....himself. 😁
Plus he played with Brian May, who is awesome, but no harder than Difficult to Cure.
Maybe the sound, but these lyrics definitely are not “pop” 😂
This is much better than since you been gone
Naw, this is about Prostitutes, and getting your rocks off, The Anthem 😎🎸
one of the best voices in rock and offcourse cozy is a boss 2.
Not many could follow that voice pure brilliance
cozy on drums :)

RIP Cozy Powell. You and Ian Haugland of a Swedish hard rock band Europe (in 80s) who respected Cozy were the BEST drummers in the world! ;(
Graham Bonnet video, but starts and ends with focus on Cozy.
Great drummer.
@@IIIIIlllllIIIIIllllI Yes. I thought that odd too.

They did and it was in 1979 /80
@@timetraveller9321 This is a Bonnet solo hit, (I think in '81) after he left Rainbow.

Absolutely. It would not have looked out of place on the Down to Earth album

Absolutely yes.
What a voice, what a song. Fan bloody tastic
If I audition for next year's The Voice UK I might sing this.

Good luck. There's only one Graham Bonnet.😊
See the man on the busy street
He's almost incomplete
He takes his pleasure in strange ways
And the lady in the liberty
She's just like you and me
You wouldn't know her at all
She takes a train up to the great big city
She knocks a door and steps right in
He's just a fool that some would like to pity
They work to out in the house of sin
Chorus:
Night games, they pay for their
Night games, they work to numbers
They' don't use names it says in the rules
It's strictly for cools to play their night games
They pay for their night games
Always play one last frame
Games of the night
Every room is a different scene
Every one has a dirrefent dream
They make it anyway they choose
You can get anything you need
Anyone if the price's agreed
And nothing left for you to lose
It's entertainment for the lost and lonely
And cabaret for those who dare
The last attainment of the one and only
It's got to be to get you there
Я счастлив, что слушал и слушаю ТАКУЮ музыку!!!
ヒデキのナイトゲームも最高❣️
Arguably his best song this one.
Ow man... i just miss Cozy so much. I miss him kicking ass with his nasty playing, being a sweey and humble guy at the same time
2 brilliant drummers cozy powell and mick tucker, the best
What a voice!!!!
Absolute belter of a tune. Graham’s voice is just awesome. Did you know that Francis Rossi (Status Quo) produced this song?
Cozy Powell. What a drummer.
the brilliant Graham Bonnet at his best
Nah. Lost In Hollywood kills this pop classic. NG is good but LIH is great.

Hear him sing Dangerzone while he was in Rainbow. how the hell he sings that high God only knows. Absolutely brilliant
Fantastic lineup.
80s classic club ..the lights the sound ...the look
What an awesome voice
Мощный голос Боннета, барабаны мощныые Кози и мелодия. - и ..... Просто класс!!!!!
Вокалист - виртуоз.💖
Bonnet, Powell, Lord, Moody...enough said
На клавишных Дон Эйри ?
Night games..hell yeah..Super vocalist G.B. & drummers..
Graham Bonnet is a brilliant singer and performer he started out in the sixties and is still touring
tremendos vocal y musicos........

Iron Maiden's guitarist Adrian Smith thought of the riff to Wasted Years at the dentist apparently. Lol.

Yes. I've never worked that out, either.
That's a bit harsh, John.
Definitely my favourite singer
It didn't help he was drowning in alcoholism for years. Thankfully he's had a modest comeback. There was one point he couldn't get a gig.
@@brandyreviewsbyaaron4154 Thanks for that I had no idea it was that bad☹️
one of my all time favourites
mine 2 mate
I can imagine this song being a national anthem for all the swingers and doggers out there! ;)
and more than a few MPs High Court Judges and other 'pillars of the community'...
@@StephenAllcroft Excellent comment, Stephen !!!😊
G.B❤❤'ve always a big fan of his..just bomb💥💥so is te Drummer ✌✌
one of the top 3 of my youth ,what a voice

FKN AMAZING.
Besides Having the LATE GREAT COZY POWELL On DRUMS.....
Am I Seeing LG JON LORD?? And BERNIE TORME??
AWESOME 👍 Song
Thanks!!
My hero
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUPER!!!!
Damn I wish I had a voice like that.
Мощща...нет слов!!¡!
classic x
Moody, Cozy, Lord...it’s like classic Whitesnake without Coverdale
Yes just thinking the same thing.
And without the good material.
Neil Murray (the best rock bass player) was also on this album.
...that s the great Pino Palladino on bass...
Cool band lineup
Insuperable en la vertiente más melódica del hard rock. Y formación de auténtico lujo. Aparte, gran tema, que es lo más importante.
The Real Voice.
Jon Lord!!!!
Funnily enough mr. Lord doesn't actually play on this song, just appears in the video.
class
Yes always thought he outshone David Coverdale
My favorite song, But the Original!!! Yngwie did it way faster but this one is easily heard 😌
Orange is the New Black brought me here. Luschek in the Delorean!
this be great backing on a afilm any producers listen
Какой он КРАСАВЧИК,на меня похож
Wolrld`s best man singer!😆😁
Buen tema
Как же красиво он на ударникх мочет
Co produced by John Eden and Francis Rossi.
💗💗💗👏👏👏👏
Orange is the New Black 7.2 brought me here
❤❤❤
What a unique voice. I can't believe that Blackmore could get rid of him because he cut his hair short.
this is what we call it music amazing song
Definitely one of the best rock songs and the best drummer in the world!
Singer is wasted with this shit. He could do so much better. Thumble down.
15 years after his mod pop record, Supergirl.
