ronnie james dio died last weekend
it really sucks. i blogged about his cancer back when it was diagnosed and, given what seemed to be high spirits from himself and hospital staff alike, his death came as a surprise.
at 67, dio’s voice was absolutely magnificent. he’d just released new music with black sabbath. he definitely had more to give. thankfully, he left behind a lot - including much before heavy metal was even possible, like the tune below from 1959. i wish more people would listen to his music.
