5ft 4inches tall , Dio's Music career spanned over 50 years. To me He had the Most Powerful Voice in Early Metal.
Started off on Trumpet , also played Bass, several Bands later, and ended up in Elves, album called Elf opening regularly for Deep Purple in the Mid 70's.
There was a bit of Disagreement mid tour ,and Ritchie Blackmore left Purple and recruited Dio for a new Project " Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" soon to be just Rainbow.
The first Album I heard by them was Long Live Rock n Roll with several; Great Tracks on it, owned it on Vinyl , foolishly lent it out, never came back.
This was about the time when CD's were first released , the beauty of this was that a lot of albums that one could not obtain any more , were suddenly re-released on CD.
Dio parted Company with Rainbow in 1979, Ozzy had left Black Sabbath , Tony Iommi , asked Dio to join, the rest is Rock History .
From 1979 to 1982 . and a Brief return in 1992
From 1992 to 2004 and releasing 10 Albums we have the Band called Dio
In Oct 2006 we see Dio joining Members of Black Sabbath in a Band called Heaven & Hell .
Black Sabbath were back with Ozzy so using that name would really cause confusion
I have included a Full Concert for your enjoyment here.
They were about to release a new album in 2010 , unfortunately Ronnie succumbed to Stomach Cancer before this could take place
Another one of the Great Characters and voices lost to us!
Have included a Full Dio Concert Below
Dio was one of the Metal greats (Sicilian too)... I also like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, what a voice! I also like his philosophy. He once said in an interview: "If the guy in the back row doesn't feel as involved as the guy up front, then I haven't done my job."
Good Quote, Iron Maiden were here in South Africa about a year Back, I was of course, There! Thank You.
I hear they put on an awesome show... I never got to see them!
Nice quote.
wow
Ronnie James Dio is undoubtedly one of the greatest singers in the history of metal.
Very true. R.I.P.
Thank You.
True That, Thanks.
Wow . Nice Voice
Fantastic voice
Such a strong voice!!!
you choise is too good my bro
Got quite some stuff of Rainbow and my forever nr 1 song Dio sang was Stargazer. With his voice he brought it to a level that was not only amazing but also second to none.
Yes, Dio is an amazing metal singer. My personal favorite is Eric Adams from manowar, but I've many other favorites, like e.g. John Greely, and I'm glad I'm his friend and we actually work together at @bloodytimes, he's the original singer for ICED EARTHs "Night of the Stormrider" album from 1992.
You should know that one:
And here's what we've done together:
So what do you say?

I am honored, just on place 2 in hot music.
I enjoyed your Video, Thanks.
I was lucky enough to see Dio in concert twice on the Black Sabbath Mob Rules & Dehumanizer tours. The man was an incredible talent with an awesome stage presence & vocal range that set him apart from most rock singers, I listen to his work all the time & never get tried of it.
A Legend

Thx for the continious support.. check out this song from the besr rock band Holland ever had..
I think you know the song..
Yes I do ,Certainly know Golden Earring, what a Great Band.
they are certainly great.. the guys still rock nowadays, even 40 years later... check out my latest post.. I am flabbergasted, also thx to you that steemit i get me going..
Can't believe how short he was. @awgibb do you play an instrument too? Just curious. I play bass.
Have you noticed that the Bassist is always the Good Looking Guy in the Band ( especially the Female ones?) Played a bit of Guitar, Keyboards and mainly Bass, then My Lucas Series on Steemit came up. Play a bit of Bass Left Handed now. Have written Many songs,( published some of the lyrics here) Want to put one more band together to perform them before I head for the Big Rock Concert in the Sky!
I can totally relate LOL. I know man, you are totally right about the good looking ones. Why left handed? Just to train your brain? I use my left hand for my mouse sometimes or to brush my teeth. I like to think it makes me more creative.
Actually switching to my LH as we speak thanks for reminding me. Only problem is haven't figured out with this cheap mouse how to switch the button functions. So have to use my middle finger for left click. Where can I find some of your lyrics?
Great voice! Resteemed!
Thank You.
first time find about Dio from Tenacious D movie, then my rock life started a new chapter:)
Thank You. Must watch it, again.
A good selection! Thanks dear @awgbibb for sharing

@awgbibb - Your taste of music is great Sire. I like it and decided to resteem this post. Death of "Ronnie James Dio" is a big loss for the music industry. And nice to meet another fan of him. Yes sire, "He had the Most Powerful Voice in Early Metal." You are absolutely correct Sire.

Unfortunately I never got to see him sing live. Here it seems like Metallica got the lions share of airtime on radio. Dio got some, but not a lot. Very powerful and moving voice.
Thank You , I suppose his Music was not considered Radio Friendly?
Great classical musician... 🎼🎷🎧
