According to Dio, he never took vocals lessons. He was a classical trumpet player before he started singing. He used breathing techniques he learned from playing the trumpet and applied it to his singing. He was such an amazing talent and It was a privilege to see him live on many occasions.

When Ritchie Blackmore said " a great solo is not how fast you can play is if you know when to stop" he knew what he is saying :)

[@XA351GT]

Goes with the other saying " it's not how many notes you can play , but which ones to leave out. " It maybe impressive when someone plays a million notes a minute but to give it some room to let the notes breath. Gives the notes being played more power. That's why when someone sustains a note it gives such emphasis on what has been played if that makes any sense.

We talked loads after class and I realised how fortunate I was to have seen him live 7 times! 🤘 The most amazing thing about him singing live was how his voice just filled all the spaces in the venue.

The best video I've ever seen of a studio track mixed with live footage. Whoever produced this did an incredible job of syncing the music and vocals.

[@owl4260]

It's astonishing! When I first watched it, I thought it was live.

[@uoabigaillevey]

Separate comment at end of video.. I found it very reaffirming that you mentioned the need emotional backing to the vocals. I find that, in this song in particular, that the entire song was sung from an emotional standpoint as if the song was actually being sung by the person it portrays. You can literally hear the pain, the loss, the faith in the wizard and the subsequent shock and bewilderment at the end result that leads to a desperation of what to do now that he is gone, etc. Combined with the masterful guitar work and drums.. this makes this song, to me, into one of those epic saga type songs that would be backed by a full symphonic orchestra when done live.. whether it actually was or not. You'd be surprised how few songs actually reach that level for me.. and this is one of them. Interestingly, the song "Uninvited" by Alanis Morrissette is another which reaches that level.. and I am NOT a fan of hers by any means.. I know like 2 songs only. I heard this song while at work and was like: Holy crap.. what song is this and who sings it??? That was epic. Anyway.. I am prattling on. I will end with another suggestion for a Dio song... "As Long As It's Not About Love" from the album Magica. In fact, I highly recommend just listening to the album itself.. it is a concept album and tells a story with each song being part of that story.. and ends with Dio himself narrating the story that the songs told. Well worth an hour of your time to check out. ;)

The one song from Master of the Moon which I actually laughed when I heard it was "Shivers." Hilarious that Dio did an effective diss track with no specific target.. could be used on anyone.

Brilliant analysis, Beth! Certainly one of Ronnie's greatest gifts and what made him such an amazing singer and performer was his intelligence (emotional and intellectual) and the obvious thought and passion he put into his singing. If you want to hear and experience the other stunning end of the rainbow, so to speak, please, please check out the Rainbow song "Rainbow Eyes." Yes, he was the greatest hard rock/metal singer ever, but he was so much more. The tenderness and gentleness and subtlety of which he was capable was beyond words. I really wish he would have explored his full range more than he did... but the body of work he did leave us with is simply staggering.

Ronald Padavona came to our attention on a 1974 single cut from Roger Glover's (bass player with Deep Purple) animation movie "The Butterfly Ball". The song was "Love Is All" and became a serious hit all over Europe. The song was credited to "Roger Glover & Friends" so Dio wasn't mentioned as he was still part of his own band Elf. Elf had opened several times for Deep Purple on some of their American tours and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore dove into a Florida studio with Dio after one or other problem within Deep Purple. A few songs got recorded but the problems within Deep Purple got solved and nothing came from the initial recordings. Until end 1974 and the lid finally blew-off and Blackmore left Deep Purple, got in touch again with Ronnie James Dio and recorded and released the "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" album in 1975. "Stargazer" is from 1976's "Rainbow Rising", an album regarded as pivotal by most hard rock fans, in that it represented where Deep Purple should have gone and showed the world who Ronnie Dio was. And it showed the world who the fuck Ken Kelly was. The guy who's responsible for the iconic "Rainbow Rising" album cover. Check it out and get yerself checked if not amazed. By the way, you've witnessed greatness here. Cozy Powell, the best drummer from his generation, Ritchie Blackmore, the best guitar player this side of Hendrix and Ronnie James Dio, the best vocalist apart from Rob Halford and Pavarotti.

Oh, there are live versions, if you know where to find them. 🤘🏼😏

[@palantir135]

The moment Dio joined a band, that band became better because of his singing, presence and lyrics. Big fan of Rainbow.

[@crusheverything4449]

Ronnie put his stamp on every band he was in. It’s almost like they were all Dio! No offense to the other musicians he worked with, as they were all great and many are also legends (Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell, Bob Daisley, Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain, Vivian Campbell, Tony Carey, Simon Wright, Jens Johansson, Rudy Sarzo, Craig Goldy, Jeff Pilson).

Goose bumps rise up and tears drip down over the Greatness that we will keep in our memory for our lifetime!

Cozy Powell was a powerhouse. The music world lost one of their absolute best when he died.

[@78vinyl97]

Only got to see him live one time and that was in the mid 90s when he was with black sabbath.he was a beast even then.

Just love dance with the devil

[@arttuuusisalo8709]

His drumming style was sooooo tight, absolutely zero hesitation on any single beat. Definetely one of my favourites.

Our Beth has always been a metal heart. Congratulations for your amazing work. A big hug from Spain! 😺

I Love how Blackmores guitar keeps changing colour in this vid - Miss RJD every day

[@jaega4247]

Thank you Beth! This may well be my favorite song of all time, and I love hearing your take on it.

[@ericwincentsen587]

Ronnie Dio's first instrument he learned to play was a trumpet. He always said that much of his breath control when singing came from having to learn it to play trumpet.

[@tobiewan]

This is awesome! I've been listening to Rainbow non stop these last two weeks! Specially the albums "Rising" and "Long live rock n roll". Stargazer has been on repeat for the last two days. Dio's singing is pure awesomeness. I was thinking to myself "I wonder if Beth Roars made video about Stargazer, if not, I will suggest it." Searched for it on KZbin, and here we are! :) Keep it up ! Love your videos! 👍🇸🇪

Treat your ears and listen to his earlier band Elf, song: Driftin (1972). So much dynamic style vocals on the track

Or Shotgun Boogie.

Ronnie James Dio was amazing. Huge voice for a little guy. Kinda nice watching the vocal coach just digging the groove.

[@brettmanus7904]

Dio is the GOAT. Period. Game. Set. Match.

[@johnsingleton904]

Outstanding vocal performance on display and outstanding review also. Boy you know your stuff and have a great voice yourself. Keep up the brilliant work. Love everything i have seen so far.

[@madjock-ig5bv]

This song changed my life! I bought the album because I liked the cover and I had seen that the Deep Purple guitarist was in the band (I had a couple of their singles). I took the album out looked at side 2 and thought "only 2 songs? Look at the length of them." Headphones on and I was enraptured. By the end I could see a Rainbow in my head. All I knew was that this was the greatest thing ever and I would love this music forever. Over 40 years later I am still a fan of rock metal and prog. Dio had some career. His first recordings were as part of a doo wop band very early 60s. Check out this classic track... kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6ibfoiKZZWUgZI I first saw him 1980 and last time 2009 and he was still as great. Never lost his voice. He was also an absolute gentleman. He is on 3 of the greatest ever metal albums from 3 different bands. No one else has managed similar. Legend, total legend. 11 years gone yesterday... RIP

Such a big voice in that tiny body! Ronnie was the voice then and still are to this day. I haven’t heard anyone that match him since....🙌🏻

Oh Beth not even listened to the song yet but I know you will love this. All the best Gaz Xx

[@darkwanderer326]

RIP Ronny! Lucky to catch him live once!

[@theh.p.lovecraftlunaticasy5186]

I think one of the most amazing things about Ronnie James Dio (besides the obvious major talent) is that he was a singer in the late 50's in an entirely different genre and went on to become one of the pioneers of metal. It's such a different way of singing. I don't know many other artists that were able to make such a profound switch in styles like that.

[@ttrails1]

Loved it! Great reaction. I also watched The CHarismatic Voice's reaction to him as well. I am old enough to remember the release of this album, let alone the concert tour. Ronnie James Dio made any band he was in great. Imagine, he didn't really want to sing. Where would be we be if he didn't try? Missing some legendary songs is where.
