He had his moments, and I do think he was rather good, again I used my personal opinion on how good he was, I need to stop doing that, because there are some very poor singers that I really enjoy just like quality singers I don't like. Even in Rainbow he did some great vocals live, I saw that Rainbow lineup in a small venue from the front row right in front of Ritchie which was amazing, and though Graham looked really stupid he really did sound good, and was added by being back in the mix and Ritchie way upfront since we were in front of his amps. Some friends sitting in the balcony got Ritchie a bot back in the mix and vocals up in the mix and seemed to hear a different concert. But I'm really going off what I started trying to say, sorry.

If you haven't heard, you might be amazed how tender couild he be:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edy1PB2GFzk   Or this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r87ojFUCOQ  And I assure you, he is a very nice person as well, he's got a special charm. As for his vocals, Ritchie himself was thrilled as well as the no less respected Michael Schenker. Graham had other, non-musical issues, but his terrific singing abilities were never questioned.
