Ronnie James Dio Albums
Collection 1983-2017

Ronnie James Dio (pseudoniem van Ronald James Padavona, 
Portsmouth (New Hampshire), 10 juli 1942 - Houston (Texas), 
16 mei 2010) was een Amerikaans metalzanger. Op jonge leef-
tijd speelde hij aanvankelijk trompet en hoorn en nam hij met 
verschillende rockabillybands enkele singles op. In zijn middel-
bareschooltijd trad hij toe tot de band The Vegas Kings (later 
Ronnie & The Rumblers en daarna Ronnie & The Red Caps 
geheten), waarin hij basgitaar speelde en waarvan hij uitein-
delijk de zanger werd. Hun eerste 7-inchsingle verscheen in 
1958 bij Reb Records onder de titel Ronnie & The Red Caps.
Ronnie James Dio trok de aandacht van Deep Purple-gitarist 
Ritchie Blackmore toen Dio's band Elf in het voorprogramma 
stond. Blackmore, niet gelukkig met de koers van Deep Purple, 
stapte op en vormde met de leden van Elf, de gitarist uitge-
zonderd, een nieuwe band: Rainbow. Na een aantal succes-
volle albums (waaronder Rainbow Rising en Long Live Rock 
and Roll) vertrok Dio om vervolgens bij Black Sabbath de 
plaats van Ozzy Osbourne over te nemen. Na een tweetal 
albums (Heaven and Hell en The Mob Rules) vertrok Dio om 
zijn eigen band Dio op te richten. Dio was ook degene die de 
Roger Glover-hit Love Is All inzong. Naast zijn krachtige per-
formance en stem, staat hij bekend als heruitvinder van het 
bekende metal-handsymbool dat niet weg te denken is in de 
metalcultuur, maar ook tot ver daarbuiten gekend is. In 2006 
had hij een rolletje als zichzelf in Tenacious D: The Pick of 
Destiny. Op 25 november 2009 maakte zijn echtgenote en 
manager bekend dat bij Dio de diagnose maagkanker gesteld 
was. De ziekte zou in een beginstadium verkeren en nog goed 
te behandelen zijn. Na geruchten dat hij al op 15 mei was 
overleden, overleed Dio op 16 mei 2010 aan maagkanker.
