Ronnie James Dio RIP
Ronnie James Dio, late of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven and Hell.
My brother was a Sabs fan when I was a wean, I remember him going to Bingley Hall in Bradford to watch them, I wonder if he still has the poster he bought. It's funny how your siblings influence your taste in music even though I ploughed my own furrow so to speak. I watched that video and was amazed I knew the words (and played air guitar at the right times!) it must be 25-30 years since I heard it.
