Ronnie James Dio passed away 5 years ago today, May 16th, 2010. Ronnie's work with Elf to Rainbow to Black Sabbath and his solo band are among my favorites and the world lost one of its greatest vocalists. I only got to see Ronnie live once, on tour in 1988 with Megadeth as the opening act - great show and amongst my favorites.
"They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell..."
Rainbow - Stargazer
