How legendary of a singer is Ronnie James Dio? So great that your grandmother might have thought the same thing. Ronnie and the Redcaps released this single in 1959, with Dio handling vocals, bass and trumpet. A reader (thanks Stabitha C!) alerted us to the existence of this, and made our day.

    Here is an entire collection of early Dio. Well worth checking out. I just wish there were some way to identify if all of these songs were covers or if RJD actually wrote any of them.
