Difficult to Cure is the fifth studio album by the British hard rock band, Rainbow, released in 1981. The album marked the further commercialization of the band's sound, with Ritchie Blackmore once describing at the time his appreciation of the band Foreigner. The album material was started with singer Graham Bonnet still in the band, getting as far as recording an early version of "I Surrender", before Bonnet left the band due to his dissatisfaction over the material. American singer Joe Lynn Turner, formerly of Fandango was recruited and sang over already completed musical tracks. Turner stated that, because of this, he was singing in higher keys than he would do normally (and would do subsequently). "I Surrender" would be the band's highest charting single in the UK, reaching No. 3. A remastered CD reissue was released in May 1999, with packaging duplicating the original vinyl release.
