Dio’s first taste of real success came when his band Elf opened for Deep Purple in 1961. His vocals impressed Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who when he left the band formed Rainbow with Dio and the other members of Elf. (He he is pictured with Iron Maiden's Nico McBrain).

Ronnie James Dio will always be the "Rainbow in the dark" I still cant believe it, his presence will never be reviled in Heavy Metal I am honored to have seen him with Dio, Black Sabbath, and Heaven and Hell, his music will live on for generations to come double devil horns up and long live rock and roll.

"Dream On"... We can all only Dream On, wishing this tragedy was avoidable, but life as it is can only commence and we as human beings can only move on and evolve if these tragedy's happen. As hard as it is to lose such an inspiring vocalist, we can only thank 'Ronnie James Padavona' for being so dedicated to his work, and most of all for being a God in the world of Heavy Metal! You have passed now, But we will never forget. Thank you Ronnie, Raise your Horns
