Yesterday was a very sad day in the hard rock/heavy metal community as Rainbow/Black Sabbath/Dio/Heaven & Hell vocalist Ronnie James Dio died at the age of 67.
I've been a big fan of Ronnie James Dio ever since way back in 1980 I heard the song Neon Knights, the first big song he did with Sabbath.
Five (ok, six) songs to remember him by.
- Neon Knights by Black Sabbath
- I by Black Sabbath (performed here by Heaven & Hell)
- The Last in Line by Dio
- Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow
- Bible Black by Heaven & Hell
- Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. Ronnie guests on this concert version from 1999.
BW&BW are collecting a lot of the reminiscences that are appearing around the net.
