Before scaling the hard rock heights with <a href="spotify:artist:6SLAMfhOi7UJI0fMztaK0m">Rainbow</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1LLiPRA3oThhxVf7W7gXQZ">Alcatrazz</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5eygg59PhcYgy4ekBgbDA1">Graham Bonnet</a> belted out contemporary covers with his cousin, <a href="spotify:artist:57YqLUloagUC9y18ir8TmV">Trevor Gordon</a>, in the Marbles. Born in Lincolnshire, England, <a href="spotify:artist:5eygg59PhcYgy4ekBgbDA1">Bonnet</a> performed with a blues band and a jazz trio before hooking up with <a href="spotify:artist:57YqLUloagUC9y18ir8TmV">Gordon</a>, who played with <a href="spotify:artist:1LZEQNv7sE11VDY3SdxQeN">the Bee Gees</a>, and the Marbles caught the interest of media mogul Robert Stigwood at <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RSO+Records%22">RSO Records</a>. The first Marbles single, "Only One Woman," a <a href="spotify:artist:1LZEQNv7sE11VDY3SdxQeN">Gibb</a> brothers composition, did well in the U.K. and Australia. Another <a href="spotify:artist:1LZEQNv7sE11VDY3SdxQeN">Gibb</a> tune, "The Walls Fell Down," also received airplay, but the Marbles abruptly broke up. Transitory behavior would become typical of <a href="spotify:artist:5eygg59PhcYgy4ekBgbDA1">Bonnet</a>'s career. Though the band split, the eponymous Marbles debut dropped in 1970. ~ Whitney Z.
