Interesting to be in my older age and listen to this however.....makes me think of heaven, and my body that Christ will give me that will not decay....I guess that is just me.

Saw Dio with Motorhead and Iron Maiden in Phoenix in the early 2000s. My daughter who was young then and had only seen Britnay Spears live before thinking that was a rock show, was converted that day.
My greatest accomplishment as a parent ;)

Ronnie Dio and the Prophets - Blue days blue nights (1963 doo wop)
That's a great song. It didn't chart nationally, but it should have.
There’s plenty of songs that didn’t chart nationally that are worth listening to. Especially when the charting music in the contemporary era is so lacking.
There were times that competition was fierce for “number one”. Some real good “#2 or #3” chart hits (and again, some that never made the charts).
Plenty of crud went up the charts as well.
I don’t know if there’s a whole album (legit release or grey market compilation) yet of Dio’s pre-metal recordings but there are a number of them on the youtube.
