Ronnie James Dio sings Imagine from John Lennon

[@tmouncher1]

Ronnie Dio is my personal hero, he gave me hope through the darkest and most lonely times in life and for that i will always thank him.

[@MarislavaBermann]

The same about me.

[@cilene9400]

idem😊

[@kenchamberlain2552]

he's done it all from 50's music to heavy metal.

[@shondell67]

His 50's stuff is awesome!

[@keira1989]

Dio's voice is universal. He can sing anything and it will be awesome.

[@dethangel9082]

His Life story should be made into a Movie.

[@jinkhorberrett9737]

I think he's too unique sounding and looking to find an actor for, to be completely honest

[@ikesweat6037]

RJD needs a spot in the R&R hall of fame---he was the epitome of rock and roll

[@sighermike]

O.L. Pritchett A bigger understatement has never been spoken. I can't believe he went his whole life without being inducted while breathing.

[@ikesweat6037]

Dio's contribution to the metal genre is epic to say the least.

[@sighermike]

I can't think of anyone who knows metal where Dio doesn't come to mind as the most bad ass voice of metal. I hadn't realized he wasn't in the R&R Hall of Fame. He needs to go into it at the next vote.

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

Michael Castro He damn sure should be there, look at the incredible number of songs, albums he put out. They have some motherfuckers in the hall of fame that sold 10-20 million records, how the fuck many did Mr. Ronnie James Dio? The rock and roll hall of fame is no different from the rest of our society, it's totally fucking political. It is not based on actual talent, just on who the people at that particular period in time want elected to it. I have no problem with a singer or band making all the money they can, they fucking deserve it if they are great for the hours, weeks, months, years of pleasure we get from listening to their music, but the R'N'R hall of fame is there only to make money for those that contributed not shit to music. I have a problem with that. If others don't, it's a free country, and I will not argue with you, this is my opinion only. If you have a different opinion I am waiting to hear it.

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

Michael Castro Man, how many people put music out for 51 years? I know for sure he put out a single on the biggest record label of the time, Atlantic, in 1958, look it up. His last contribution came in 2009. How many people are in the rock 'n roll hall of fame that were only there for 3 or 4, 5 years? Again, look it up, it's infuriating to so many of us that there are some people who contributed so much more but are never seriously considered for entrance into this joke hall of fame. Rolling Stone mag hated Kiss, Rush, etc. in the 1970's, they can't rush to kiss their asses now fast enough. Should Dio have made it a few more years maybe their lips would be glued to his ass too, I guess we'll never know. Revisionist history in certain cases is going on, but what the fuck, sit back and enjoy his music, and expect to be pissed off by mainstream bullshit so called music journalists.

[@geggs13]

I could listen to Dio coughing, and it would still be musically appreciative.

[@belindachavez4688]

Mr. Ronnie J. Dio could sing anything, he was awesome singer back in his days. I love his technique! He was beautiful man and very caring person. RIP RJD.

[@elserpent]

yes this song is very beautifull Dio was the best he is truely missed I know I cried when I heard that he passed away I was able to meet him and he was really down to earth talking to me like he knew me for years no rock star attitude at all

[@polykarpos1969]

The man could sing ANYTHING Long Live Ronnie!!!

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanetone152]

I so love Dio, he continues to amaze me. We were so fortunate to be here at this time and enjoy his music album after album after album, because there are few that you can say are (were) truly one of a kind, someone you will never again see the likes of. Dio is right up there at the top. Now we can only reflect on the impact he had on our lives, but at least we were there to witness how great this man was while he was here. R.I.P. Ronnie James, so many of us were affected by you and your music, so many of us had our lives brightened by you and your music. We will think of you and miss you for the rest of our lives.

[@antoniochagas701]

4 years has been passed since you wrote this...Do you still listen to him?

[@rustyangel3631]

Ronnie is immortal. Nice choice of tune to sing.

[@andresc228]

It can be any better than this man??????How can any voice is the history be as good as he had...Miss you Ronie JAmes

[@LJLMETAL]

WOW! Even though it was recorded on a low quality, it is great

[@basiaaaaaaa]

It's incredible how he could sing every song in the world and it sounded better than original (or at least as good as original).

[@DoctorPretorious616]

Absolutely amazing. Rest in peace, John and Ronnie.

[@ahmedtevez]

truly beautiful i love this era in Ronnie's career , he was just amazing .

[@danchaneyufosuapsaliencontact]

Long live Ronnie James DIO!

[@lapsiquisarcaica1]

R.I.P Ronnie James Dio and John Lennon....music forever

[@SuperBoosterHunter2]

Just the best singer of all time. R.I.P. Dio

[@paullavan6098]

You did it again wee man; will you never cease to blow me away? I bloody hope not.

[@7NoSaint]

Found this by acident...'Imagine' is simply the best song ever written. "No Heaven or Hell and no no religion too". Peace defined.

[@RockyRajkumar-yg1ee]

We lost a treasure in the name of Ronnie James Dio and John Lennon ❤❤ Rest in peace to both legends 👼🏻🕊️❤️👏🏻

[@danniandreasen9018]

RJD! 😍 he saved my life!

[@antoniochagas701]

Mine too, and if I were alive without knowing him, probably I'd be a zombie no soul, no heart

[@GenXMetal_Head]

DIO is the Midas Touch of singing b/c anything he sings urns to gold. But much love and respect to John as well. The 2 are now in Heaven singing this song as a duet for God!! RIP Ronnie and John.

[@robertcam7090]

Much Better Than Ozzy!

[@antoniochagas701]

LMAO Ronnie has passed and you guys still says that

[@all4Hisgloryalone2Tim215]

except his voice fained last few albums and Ozzy sounds the same. Plus 2 totally different styles No one sings as good as Ozzy on Ozzy stuff including Dio and no one sings as good as Dio on his stuff. There are singers Like Tony Martin that sound similar to Dio No one Sounds like Ozzy

[@samthfkr]

all4Hisgloryalone you are soooo off. Dio’s voice aged with grace and power. Ozzy lost his voice in the 90’s. Also Martin sucks ass he can’t sing Dio’s songs.

[@Mephistotheles]

@@samthfkr Tony Martin is a great singer and he did a pretty good job covering Dio songs.

[@scottbeater-man3714]

Why do people compare the two all the time? Yes they were both in sabbath but even with that being said, there is no relevance to compare them or argue about it.

[@thomasparkhurst5734]

Your vocals always powerful and strong thankyou

[@jessiegarcia3117]

Dio could sing anything

[@baal1318]

Imagine this world with you DIO.... R.I.P

[@reidall23]

thank you for this...simply amazing

[@tamyy5075]

Simplesmente o melhor, Dio podia cantar qualquer coisa.

[@antoniochagas701]

Sim, Mano poderia cantar de tudo, não paro de encontrar músicaas dele.

[@sovner]

I've never heard this song sound better, even though the sound quallity of this recording wasn't the best

[@jesussavesforever6264]

Jesus gives me hope in the darkness and loving Him is like going home. Dio has a nice voice.

[@Keepsu]

Outstanding!

[@hudlmaniac7673]

The man was amazing. Was there any musical style that he couldn't sing?

[@antoniochagas701]

Dio's voice is universal

[@ΣτέλλαΠαπαδάκου]

Ευχαριστώ που το μοιράστηκες μαζί μας!

I don't think there is a better source than this, so enjoy!

[@luisatorres9126]

DIO IS THE BESTT!

[@clivebindley134]

Even back then he was singing about heaven and hell! Yes I know Lennon wrote it....

[@pumpkin_guineapig]

Still a thousand miles better than the celebrity version.

[@vlassisnikas7634]

R.I.P. Ronnie.

[@jjojjorge]

Those later years from the Beatles were spectacular.

[@aprildixiepeach]

Awesome!

[@windyhiller]

Such vocal talent is indeed rare. Ronnie could have been a crooner ala Frank Sinatra/Bobby Darrin, but chose the path he did.

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

windy hiller he actually WAS a crooner like Darin and Sinatra. Listen to Ronnie and the red caps. Classic dio doo wop. And the path he chose? You say it like he committed a crime. Holy diver and rainbow in the dark are great songs

[@antoniochagas701]

@@doctorfeinstone6524 stargazer this song just proves he did the right choice

[@fernandoazevedo1550]

Cláudio Cavalcante on the drums Fantastic

[@GuitarWithDofka]

Amazing!!!

[@applecake122]

Dio surely liked the lyrics. They correspond to his philosophy.

WHAT SONG ITS THIS

[@pacov7]

He could have easily replace John Lennon if they got together after John's passing!!!!

[@lemuelkrause3029]

???

[@MaaaryLovesMetal]

Dio means God..

[@praetorianus72]

This song is very naive, there will never be peace on this world, but Ronnie sang it better than Lennon. He always made the originals look like jokes RIP

[@jjojjorge]

Obviously better than Lennon. Speaking of, Beatles never had great singers, although Paul showed greatness sometimes.

[@유성준-k7v]

Sing this song for GOD? I think you don't know much about its lyrics

[@kooringagnd]

It's a song about socialism/ communism.

[@LanDio1981]

John Lennon (and Ronnie James Dio) > CeeLo Green! Enough Said!!! CeeLo Green is overrated and A JOKE!!!

Blessed to know this man
