GRAHAM BONNET It's all over now baby blue

Brit Graham Bonnet had a career with several chapters, perhaps the most successful, certainly downunder, was with his 1977-78 releases. His cover of the Dylan classic was released in Australia 35 years ago this week, and would climb all the way to #3 spending 6 months in the chart and nearly 2 months in the Top 10! The song blasted from radios for most of 1977, and Australia proved to be his biggest market, with the #1 success a year later of 'Warm Ride' - the Gibb Brothers track that was a hit for Rare Earth and also recorded by Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees themselves.

Graham Bonnet's career ebbed and flowed, with a stint as lead singer of Rainbow, and more solo releases, including his only British chart success - 'Night Games' in 1981. He recorded several albums with Alcattraz, a hard rock outfit, and he continues to tour and record, now largely based in America. Australia is still a highly regarded place for the singer, who toured with a plethora of 70's and 80's artists as part of the Countdown Spectacular concerts in 2007. The Polygram various artists compilation 'Choc O Block' released in 1978 featured Graham's smash hit, among other big hits and artists of the day from the latter part of 1977 including Carole Bayer Sager's #1 and Leif Garrett, Marcia Hines, Bee Gees and Boney M.

Graham Bonnet's powerful voice and stage presence helped make his recordings successful here in Oz, and the production on 'Baby Blue' has aged well. He is certainly styled as one cool dude! Enjoy!

Loads of legendary artists had a crack at this song written by Bob Dylan. No one went close however to providing a version like Graham Bonnet did in 1977.

Graham bonnet sings the best version of this song! :)

[supremeleader]

This song is a special one. After some very traumatic times in my life I would play this song to remind myself pain does end and it teaches you lessons which make the sunny days that much brighter. If youre fighting a battle of your own, keep going.

[jaybebaybe]

It's the voice, and Graham. Bonnet has just that.

[Billyjack]

My favourite cover of this amazing Dylan song.

I met Jo Bonnett in South Australia on a work assignment which is how I found out about this talented artist! Not everyone was married to a rock star! 🌟

In the back of the "Batmobile" (our old red Ford Fairmont), Dad driving us home from Canberra to Penrith as the sun sets. We went a lot over 96-97, particularly after Pop died. Miss my Mum so much (she died 3 weeks ago).

Graham Bonnet has one of the BEST voices EVER. I have always been a huge Dylan fan --- but accepted that he couldn't sing -- but he was an inspiration as far as Protest Songs were concerned in the 60's. But Graham Bonnet is amazing !

[tbrackett]

Amazing version! Followed a rabbit hole from The Seldom Scene bluegrass band.
