Ronnie had a great voice........but what really freaked me out is I remember this cartoon from when I was probably four years old.

[miguel3231]

I've already listened to this song 5 times today, Dio has a f-ing awesome voice /,,/ !!!

[holydiver73]

by a country mile, my favourite Elf track. Good video to put it to as well.

Don't you think that 1930's cartoons are just as scary as hell in parts?

[Rhadagovinda]

What a beautiful voice ! His voice is really unique. Nobody can sing like him.

His voice creats a special world. I almost stopped breathing....

[TheDevilclone]

[fjuraa]

[punkrockefeller]

rip ronnie. i saw u live with rainbow & black sabbath, great talent.

[ricmgrande]

This song in Dio's voice is very special to me. It's really beautiful, and It gives me a little sadness when I listen to that. I think that's the feelling the singer will not sing that no longer for sure and for all of us.

[Sneixx]

Oh! Dio reborned as a rasshopper! :D Today he plays violin..not bass anymore.

[kaltinor8]

R.I.P. Dio. You were great singer!

[MrISABELLAIS1]

Hi Thanks for posting I had a elf album as a young teen It had a tune called Rainy Days  kinda of a piano boogie woogie but bluesy - Its lyrics Rainy Days Rainy Days too many rainy days....

[Bieroern]

i'm 15 years old and had only one time the change to see Dio live on W:O.A09 and it was amazing!Before that I had never heard the name Dio-well I was14and started to listen to Metal with 12or13.Anyway H&H were kickin' ass man!After his death I was very depressed because he had become my favorite vocalist of all time-and he still is.In school we had to write a speech-I wrote about Dio-it was the baddest mark I ever became in Germanbut it should show respect to the greatest singer of all time!RIP

[kainof74]

Also try to check out - 'Ronnie & The Red Caps' & also 'Ronnie & The Prophets'. These were his bands before Elf.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

Great Dio lyric/vocal-Elf were a damn good band

[Pluis1970]

RIP Dio, my friend. Thanks for the music, shame you had to leave so soon. Everytime I see a rainbow in the sky, I'll throw the Devil Horns at them in your honour.

[alexpoz09]

[MrFreeOliveira]

Loved the mix of image and song !

[fjuraa]

the spitting is disturbing xD

[TheGeezer88]

Hi! I'm 22 years old....& I'd like to know something about elves from someone a bit 'older than me....thank!

[MrRandycouturefan]

@TheGeezer88 Yes, once after Dio took LSD, he looked in the mirror and thought he had become an Elf. That is why he named his band Elf.

[TheGeezer88]

@MrRandycouturefan are you kidding with me? YOU FUCK!!!

[TheGeezer88]

@MrRandycouturefan sorry, I thought I wanted to do sarcasm, sorry again!!

[DarkSaga92]

Love His Voice!!!!!!!!

[rickshafer]

well done! Excellent cue up, creative mind here...

[whitesoxgeorge]

Get well soon Ronnie!!! \m/ \m/

[hertatus]

capo diooooooo

[TheGeezer88]

lol!...but it's nice

[ANDERAVENTURERO]

muy bueno de lo mejor que escuche !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaptainKeithM]

there was an LP soundtrack from this show.

[CaptainKeithM]

i think this is from a television show called "the butterfly ball and the grasshopper feast" .....yes?

[ckc1958]

Only Ronnie and Ritchie Blackmore can make singing about rainbows cool. I know that this is Elf and Blackmore was still with Deep Purple, but this is what Blackmore heard and it made him see how great Ronnie is. Elf's music was very bluesy!!! Thank you for sending, Shaun. It's so different from Wonderworld, isn't it?

[ziggy72170]

Holy Moly,,,,, " prelude to A Bug's Life "....

[JesseP11]

Fiddle away, grasshopper!

[theNikki1]

pure gem, only Lemmy and Halford can reach Dio.

Video is nice too. Grashopper went to winter empty-handed but at least it had some fun too!

[SchwanzLockus]

not even them!

[peppernkk]

Fu#in COOL !!

[MUDSHARK111]

In his youth at his best possibly the greatest rock vocalist to ever live.

[ccbm2112]

@MUDSHARK111 ..at whatever age..the GREATEST vocalist...period !

[ccbm2112]

@MUDSHARK111 ,..at any age,...the greatest -PERIOD !

[Diofan1952]

Amazing! He can sing everything. Thanks for sending LASTINLIVE /,,/ /,,/

[depechemodehome]

me2..........LONG LIVE OUR KING /,, /~,~/,, /

[pvtjhon]

This song is bad ass.

[opocaj89]

FANTASTIC!

[jeetkunedobruce]

I think he must be thinking of The Butterfly Ball - Love is All.

[mysteric70]

That was a lot of fun! Especially the boogie part of the song when the grasshopper is teaching the ant how to dance. It sync's up almost perfectly.

[ironbeast]

Haha, you're right! =P

[scepticchristian]

Hi IVegtaml, thanks for posting.

It is a bit confusing as suggested above. The video has a grasshopper and insects etc. preparing food and Burl Ives had a similsar video called the ugly bug ball. In your intro you mention the grasshoppers feast (i.e. the butterfly ball from 1974 which Roger wrote and Ronnie & Coverdale sang on). You also mention Rainbow eyes, a song from LLR&R in about 1976 and the song, Love is all which was one of 3 songs Ronnie sang on TBB&TGF. 1973? Elf/Purple years.

[bozodclown98]

Do you have trying to burn the sun?

[whzkfkrhgo]

dio is the best

[JJ042271]

I had this tape.....(Elf,Carolina County Ball)

[JJ042271]

Loved this tape in high school.....

[AleksandrScheffler]

is this really Elf, or is this Dio with Roger Glover?

[psychoman420]

This is really Elf. The song is titled Rainbow and it's from Elf's second album Carolina County Ball.
