On a recent mining expedition, I came across evidence of H&H's front man, R. J. Dio, having once been a crooner. Long before his status as heavy metal icon hailing from Elf, Rainbow, Sabbath and finally his own band Dio, he was vocalist for some not-so-well-known local favorites including Ronnie and the Redcaps, Ronnie and the Prophets, and the Electric Elves. Even way back in the 1960s, the little guy was singing themes of heaven and hell. Then, of course, he quickly went on to commercial success.
