RIP, RJD

I am sad to report the death of classic power metal screamer Ronnie James Dio, who succumbed to stomach cancer this morning after battling it since late last year. His was a long and amazingly varied career (he was recording doo wop back in the 1950s!) but I first encountered his voice in the Butterfly Ball clip, seen above. The clip was made as an attempt to launch a feature film. The film never happened, but the clip became a fixture on kids TV in the 1970s.
RIP, RJD.
