Me, as an Black Sabbath-Fan, loves Ronnie and his wonderful sound and vocals. I know he rocks us all in heaven.

[@DobyElfoSalvaje]

Seee

[@mukigc]

On "Lover",that is NOT Dio on vocals, but Billy De Wolf, who joined on lead vocals for a short time ; Billy also wrote it----such as it is..............But a great trumpet from Ronnie on the flip side!!!

[@summermcpherson8209]

Yeah! It's really beautiful. I never even knew Ronnie could play the trumpet! I did see on Wikipedia that the trumpet was the first instrument he learned to play.

[@katherinejarapan8234]

It’s not true Ronnie James Dio is the vocals and a bass

[@mmestari]

Billy De Wolf has such an annoying teeny-weenie voice.

[@marcoantoniobenavidezjr.6866]

It's been over 64 years. Even as much as I got to love ❤️This album unlike never before, now that I have heard it, it's clear that it existed before I was concieved. Therefore, various truths may have existed before may be lost.

[@marcoantoniobenavidezjr.6866]

Even if the real truth about this album is lost, it will continue to be lost yet legendary.

[@henryemrich7209]

Wow.....this is *radically* different from his later stuff!

[@j800r_aswell]

Well of course it was. Heavy Metal hadn’t even been invented yet. :P

[@kooringagnd]

​@@j800r_aswellnot quite true. Heavy guitars etc had been around for some time. Just like the very first jazz recording (1917) sounds very different from most people call jazz.

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

​@@kooringagnd Sorry but heavy guitar driven rock music was still very much a thing of the future in 1958.

[@ex-mentalist]

The band is even called "*Ronnie* and Company", which is how any other band with Dio feels.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

😂 All greatest honor and respect even for the unknown producers of this album. That's something the world may never know. Understand, it's been 65 years. I'm only 48, but anyone who has the original pressings at all got lucky. Even after all these years, despite the unknown, it's an amazing stroke of luck that You Tube was able to get a hold of this, because no matter what, I just couldn't obtain this at all in my younger days. Good people of You Tube, thank you very much , and have a good night.

HE SHOULDA DONE ONE HEAVY METAL DOO WOP song once he was famous! ARGH!

[@Metalbob011]

Reading " Rainbow in the Dark" about page 27 so had to put on the music to relate to the book even better. Book is so worth the money. I can hear Dio's voice almost in the words telling his life in the beginning.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Same! Read that and came straight here!

[@hastyberford]

I was born in '58. RJD was already rocking out. \m/

I can hear Ronnie in the background vocals of that first song, but he is definitely not the lead. Ooh, trumpet! Mm, yes, definitely Ronnie singing the third song. Interesting history.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

I think before my previous phone broke, I got upset at someone when I got real drunk one night, but I also remember that I gave this Golden Masterpiece The Silver Star Winners Award. It got erased on this phone. It might have been #26 or 27 on the list for the Hits " Lover and" An Angel is Missing "If a beautiful woman gets possessed by the Devil, it's clear an angel is missing. No one wants to experience that the hard way like I have. If people think I'm crazy, that's a matter of opinion.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

A cousin of mine got killed in a car accident recently about 6 months ago, exactly like Nice Pantas. His father survived. It's been 56 years since something like that has happened. That hasn't happened since the days of The Electric Elves. Nick Pantas was Ronnie James Dio's very first guitar 🎸 player, but unfortunately also the very first member of the Dio Era to die.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

R.I.P. all who were in the Legendary "Ronnie and the Redcaps"

[@marcobenavidez3739]

I always loved and cherished the Dio Era, no matter what, but fuck the band Anal Cunt! Before that low life piece of shit died, I hated him so much, I used to wanna kick his face in! What the fuck kinda song is called " You were pregnant, so I kicked you in the stomach? Boy, have times and people have changed throughout the years, but unfortunately, not always for the better.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

With anything extremely reprehensible like Anal Cunt or worse, an angel is missing and so is Ronnie and the Redcaps.

[@marcobenavidez3739]

I bet if Ronnie James Dio and Elvis were still alive, they would have hated the band "Anal Cunt" or anything worse.

[@lasse3412]

The teen Dio.

[@PACbelltech1]

Saxophone sounds like The Pink Panther LOL

[@jduff59]

Ronnie must have had a ton of self-belief. His music was great but he spent decades before having mainstream success. Talent isn't enough - you absolutely need to get "a break" and it eventually happened, but a lot of grinding, underpaid work first.

[@PACbelltech1]

That's not him singing it it?? He also was in the Prophets who were more rock.

[@collinnicholasns]

not on the first song, second song is Dio on trumpet last 2 are Dio on vocals

[@Retroscoop]

It's a long (and windy) road to the top, if you want to Rock'n'roll, to quote AC DC.... And gosh, if we have to turn to Aussie philosophers to make our point.... Interesting for its historical significance, but a terrible song. Things became better in 1961 with "An angel is missing". Thanks for the upload !

[@marcobenavidez3739]

Don't worry, I'll be ok, but I'm sick and I have to get off line now because I have other work to do. It has nothing to do with You Tube or suicide in any way, but it's still hard dangerous work, but I need money. Goodbye.
