Rainbow was active from 1975 to 1984.
In 1993, Blackmore left Deep Purple again due to "creative differences" with other members, and reformed Rainbow with all-new members featuring Scottish singer Doogie White
 With Joe Lynn Turner, who replaced Bonnet in 1980, with Powell departing at the same time, Rainbow recorded three more albumsDifficult to Cure (1981), Straight Between the Eyes (1982) and Bent Out of Shape (1983)that had commercial success similar to the band's previous albums
