R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

He passed away a few days ago. I've been kind of bummed about it, thinking I'll never hear him again. As a near thirty year fan of his music, in Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell, with his own band Dio or any number of guest slots he has done - Froggy in The Butterfly Ball or Dr. X in Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime:2(the only bright spot on that album as it stinks but I digress).

It's a sad time in rock and roll with his passing. Here's a few of my favorite tunes from RJD.

Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell





A couple of Elf tunes - Gambler, Gambler and Hoochie Koochie Lady. Interesting to hear him before the Dungeons and Dragons imagery he became famous for.







Dio - Rainbow In The Dark




Dio - Don't Talk To Strangers




Rainbow - The Man On The Silver Mountain




Rainbow - Catch The Rainbow
