Ronnie James Dio could rightly be considered one of the best vocalists that ever lived. Not enough credit is given to his career.


I first heard his voice when I was young. whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of my childhood

This is classic Ronnie James Dio, from arguably the best "Heavy Metal" album of all time ;

My favorite Dio song - "Rock and Roll Children", from a time that music was music and not the RUBBISH churned out today.

It truly saddens me that a legend such as Dio is gone, as there are no present day "Legends" that can match these "old school" rockers - let alone take their place. I hope Ronnie is jamming in Heaven with Randy Rhodes, Phil Lynott and John Bonham. A true legend.

RIP Ronnie

I loved the way he sang this song, always gives me chills (and of course Blackmore doing what he does helps somewhat)

a few great titles there.
it's sad that no one writes music like this any more.
