RIP Ronnie James "Dio" (1942-2010)

I just read news about him passing today. A big legacy that he leave behind. A legend that will never be replaced with another.

Excerpt from Wikipedia :

Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010) was an American heavy metal vocalist and songwriter. He performed with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and his own band Dio. Other musical projects include the collective fundraiser Hear 'n Aid. He was widely hailed as one of the most powerful singers in heavy metal, renowned for his consistently powerful voice and for popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture in metal culture. He was collaborating on a project with former Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice, under the moniker Heaven & Hell, whose first and only studio album, The Devil You Know, was released on April 28, 2009. He died of stomach cancer on May 16, 2010.

RIP Dio...

Les Paul - Extraordinaire Musician and Inventor

Without him, we might never heard Rock & Roll. He is also credited with many recording innovations, including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording.

Here is a short documentary I found out from YouTube that literally explain a bit about him.
