There'll Always Be A Rainbow As Long As Ritchie's Here
Pete Makowski, Sounds, 25 June 1977
"THERE'LL ALWAYS be a Ronnie, there'll always be a Cozy and myself in Rainbow and that's all that matters, others may come and go because they always turn out to be sidemen, unless we get someone really good. And Cozy, you can't get any better than that, so anybody else who comes along has got to be so good or they're not accepted. That's why we make so many personnel changes as far as organists and bass-players go and we always will until we find the right guy, and it's in the public's interest as well as our own."
