The mighty Ronnie James Dio is dead, what a sad news! Rest In Peace Ronnie, you were wonderful and we'll always remember you.
He passed away yesterday, May 16 2010, of stomach cancer. Ronnie took part is several rock bands - Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and Dio. Thanks to his Italian grandmother he "invented" and popularized the famous sign of the horns in heavy metal. The powerful magnificent voice of Ronnie James is something that nobody can take away from us, and it'll never be forgotten.
Writing this, I am listening to the debut album Holy Diver (1983) by Ronnie's own band, Dio. Excellent classic heavy metal CD, where the peculiar voice of Ronnie James reveals itself in a fantastic manner. Holy Diver and Rainbow In The Dark are killer hits that probably everyone have heard. Another favorite is Don't Talk To Strangers, but the whole album is quite enjoyable.
