"Power" by Rainbow

Rainbow was a hard rock band with the constant of British guitar legend Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. They've had several lead singers, most notably Ronnie James Dio and Joe Lynn Turner, and keyboard extraordinaire Tony Carey.

With Dio at the helm, the band had a darker and less melodic edge. They didn't score a chart hit until a new lead singer came aboard (Graham Bonnet), taking the Russ Ballard song "Since You Been Gone" to #57 in 1979. With the change to Joe Lynn Turner, the band scored their only top 40 hit: "Stone Cold" landed at #40 in 1982. Turner would produce one final charting single for the group when "Street Of Dreams" peaked at #60 in 1983.

"Power" comes from the Turner led album from 1982 called "Straight Between The Eyes."
