This first time reaction to Ronnie James Dio has been a long time coming and who better to introduce me to this iconic vocalist than someone who absolutely adores this singer and first suggested him to me? Incredible vocalist/analyst/educator, Elizabeth Zharoff from @TheCharismaticVoice will be showing me Rainbow's "Stargazer" for my first time hearing Dio. I hope you enjoy watching my ears get absolutely totalled by the skills and musicianship on display in this song.

    • I watch this one two or three times a week. It's positively delightful on several levels. The flickering emotions on Julia's face are priceless, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for her. Look closely and there is a moment when she is in FEAR of how good Dio is. Elizabeth is tortured by attempting to hide the fact that she's clearly having the time of her life, an odd combination of factors. An epiphany occurs when Elizabeth finally drops her reserve. The technical comments are on point but as is mentioned, Dio's perfomance is an endless series of one incredible aspect after another after another, and it is impossible to analyze more than a small percentage of them. The honesty of the entire production is rare indeed, and most cherished. (except... do they know the vocals are not a live recording?) Are there awards shows for reaction videos? This is easily the greatest reaction vid of 2023, if not of all time. It deserves 1000 times the amount of views it gets. Still, the virtuosity of Dio and Blackmore deserve 97 percent of the credit. Without those two, there is nothing.

  • Welcome to the voice of the greatest voice to ever grace rock, metal or for that matter music. Ronnie was so underrated and sadly he hasn't gotten what he deserves and that is to be in the Hall of Fame. Ronnie didn't sell out. He stayed true to his craft and was known as a humble man by all who knew him. The fans were what mattered to him. He NEVER lost sight of that. He literally lived to perform for those who came to see him every night. Oh and by the way... He was , is , and will ALWAYS be The Man On The Silver Mountain.

  • Ronnie James Dio's father used to make him practice the trumpet from when he was 5 years old for 3 hours a day. He learnt how to use his dirapraym playing trumpet and transitioned the skill into his singing. It is all in the Dio Documentry "Dreamers never die". He was not only an amazing singer but he was an amazing giving person. The end of the documentry made me cry.

Its story telling and musical synergy at its finest and yet in very simple terms that are so expressive. What a great song. No wonder it is considered a classic rock piece.

    • I still think y'all are misinterpreting the story in Stargazer. One theory says the pyramids were built w/ help of aliens, & they were placed worldwide, strategically, to create a power source- lasers, magnetism, a wormhole even- to propel their ships into space. THAT'S the tower Dio & friends built- a pyramid. Why would he say "where is your star, is it far"? If they only thought it was a tower to fly off of, why would he think it was being used to go to the stars unless the aliens told them as much? Ancient humans thought earth was IT, had no concept of travelling to the stars- but it is a part of folklore in many ancient civilizations that say the gods came from the stars. Anyway. So once there was an accident, the pyramid device failed, spaceship crashed, "wizard" is killed. I know it sounds nuts but Dio must've read the same books I did. It's interesting to think Stargazer (even the TITLE references stars- how can this be wrong?)- yeah. Interesting to think the song is based in literal truth- or at least folk lore that actually exists- instead of being just a 100% totally fictional construct.

Dio & Blackmore... unrivaled talent... watching, or listening to RJD, brings both unparalleled awe & sorrowful melancholy. A true gentleman with a talent beyond measure...gone too soon. Some will fully understand me when I say that "I truly loved him, for touching my soul & filling my heart with magical emotions. Tears of both joy & sadness each time I hear him"...

    • At one point they observe it's quite hard work to maintain the voice throughout the entire song. And vocalists like RJD do it throughout the entire show, 1.5 or 2 hours long. With no recitatives, orchestral parts or other _dramatis personae_ to fill the time. And with abusive rock'n'roll lifestyle full of some interesting stuff late at night, plus travelling from one city to another - in place of some opera singers' stringent routine of protecting their voices.

    • Many of those that we consider “great” vocalists are reaching the extremes of their abilities in order to sound “great”. These singers tend to burn their vocals. The ones that seem to hang on to their vocal abilities train and stay within their range rather than pushing past. Then there’s Dio. Dio is just that good.

    • @@ibrstellar1080 Agreed. But it’s not too often Jon Bon Jovi is grouped with the “great” vocalists. But agreed that there are many factors that can kill a set of pipes. But there are plenty of vocalists that have played too many gigs, did too many drugs, drank too much alcohol and other things that could potentially ruin a singers voice. Take a listen to Sammy Hagar or Jack Russell. Those two cats are old and have done plenty gigs, drank plenty of alcohol and whatever else, but both still have pretty solid voices. Hell, Sammy is 76 years old and still killing it. My point was simply this. Dio played a ton of shows for so many years, and age and use didn’t affect him like so many others. Some vocalists are just superior to all the others.

  • Thank you for giving Ronnie's voice another forum. His power & control came from his training as a trumpet player in his youth... from the diaphragm. I've seen him live a number of times, several shows where he performed this song. Never had a bad night & always hit those notes with power & clarity. He was a force of nature, unparalleled.

    • Not only did he train as a trumpet player in his youth, he also trained on the french horn. I remember reading this in a magazine article taken from an interview he did back sometime in the 1980s. He pointed out that playing the french horn requires the player to blow through at least 40 feet of tubing. Clearly this would involve building up some serious lung capacity, which would then transfer quite nicely to singing. To hear another fantastic example of Ronnie's abilities, I would highly recommend listening to his performance on the song "Sign of the Southern Cross", when he was singing with Black Sabbath on their 1981 album "The Mob Rules". Furthermore, anything he did with Black Sabbath during his 1980/81 period with them is well worth checking out. Easily some of the best work he ever did.

You can see it in his expression and body language as well. Listening to him and experiencing his performance is quite a emotional and almost physically draining experience. It grabs you and shakes you to your core. So beautiful. I saw Rainbow on this tour, Rainbow Rising, in 1976. It was a special concert for our country's bicentennial celebration. There will never be another Ronnie James Dio. Another song on this album called Starstruck is another of my favorites. The band I was in back in the early 80s covered that song.

  • I must have heard this song 10000 times. But your reviews show me details that I as a non musical person would never notice and therefore new things to appreciate. Sometimes its like hearing these songs for the first time again. And that is a real gift. Thank you for your videos. Amazing!

    • I saw him many times but, like most young rock fans ( I think) I never quite appreciated him at the time. Sure he was special, great, stood out from all the others, but with these reaction videos, to see people who actually UNDERSTAND what made him so special, it's all so cool. That's what most of my friends said in the 1970s-"Dio, yeah, he's cool man." I'd try to explain that he was more than cool, he was the Best, but since I couldn't explain WHY he was the best, meh, it was just my subjective opinion and nobody listened to me. Hope that made sense...?

  • Ronnie was a wonderful person. I was lucky enough to hang out and chat with him many times and he has to be one of the nicest people I think I’ve ever met. Glad you got to hear his magnificent voice. He’s one of the few people who you can hear on an album and sounds exactly the same live, every time.

  • The best thing of Rainbow songs is that you have to listen through at least 5 times to hear it all: once for overall sound, once for vocals, once for guitar, once for drums, then again for overall sound again! awesome levels of sound!

  • Dio is one of my all-time favorite singers. I have been fortunate enough to see him live many times. His live performances are nothing less than spectacular. I was amazed to learn that he never took vocal lessons. Prior to singing, he trained on the trumpet and that is where he learned breath control. In Dio's own words, " I've never taken vocal lessons. My early trumpet training and a fortunate talent for singing has always been enough for me. In the case of rock singing, I've always felt it was better to remain a bit untrained to maintain your individuality"

  • Looking forward for this! Can't believe no one has introduced this legend to Julia yet, but I'm glad it's Elizabeth who did it...and with the best possible pick to start with since you also get to enjoy the Man in Black himself doing some guitar work 🤘
