Rainbow is a British rock band formed in 1975 by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Known for their blend of hard rock and progressive elements, the band initially featured vocalist Ronnie James Dio, whose soaring vocals helped define their sound on classic albums like “Rising” and “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Over the years, the band experienced numerous lineup changes, with Blackmore at the helm, as they transitioned through various musical styles, including more commercial rock and synth-driven sounds. Despite these changes, Rainbow remains influential and celebrated for its contributions to rock music and its enduring legacy in the genre.
