Ronnie James dio what a legend and phenomenal artist
Indeed! 😀
Dio is and always will be my favorite vocalist / song writer. His music got me through some very rough times in my life. I saw him several times in concert and you are right, he is spot on with his vocals every time. One time I saw him he was very sick, but he still came out and did the same awesome performance as always. He was an amazing talent, gone all too soon.
SO great! 😀
@sha broussard That is actually incorrect. I’ve known the man all my adult life. He liked to work with great guitarists. They would come up with a riff and he wrote the chords, the melody and the lyrics. Then they would put the song together. Basically a collaboration. That’s how he always worked. He didn’t like to play other people’s songs with few exceptions. One of them is mistreated written by deep purple. He did one song written by Jeff Pilson. That’s it, unless you count some tribute songs where he was asked to sing. Dream on and welcome to my nightmare were tributes. Of course the band did their part. He was a perfectionist and able to bring out the best in people.
Who do you think wrote the music and lyrics? Seriously curious.
Dio's passing Is one of the few ones that actually Made me cry
I know.
"Short Guy that has a big instrument" xD
Haha!
😄
JasminGardenia & Bruno- do I need to separate the two of you? 😏
lol
@@Bigstrat2 , Thomas- Go to your rooms!
Power. Everything Dio dose is amazing. But the Sheer Power behind his voice will stand the test of time.
I agree! 😀
Hey kevin owens
Ronnie should have been a household name Like Metallica or the Beatles. Yes, he was that good. I kick myself for not ever seeing him live every day. What a voice. this guy was insane how spot on he was even in his older age. and we are talking about someone who smoked weed and had a drink before he went on stage he openly admitted he did not do warm-ups either. What??? I mean WTF how is this possible? If he would not have passed away I would have thought he was a vampire or robot because who does that night after night and has no effect on your voice? Ronnie was one of a kind. There will never be another ever. Great video brother keep them coming,
One of a kind indeed, Bill!
he's always been a part of my life since 1978 when I was 13 years old and first heard , heaven and hell
Watch an interview and it's definitely his humility,honesty and genuine personality which makes him great,not to mention his joy in performing on stage,you can see how much fun he is having. That huge voice in a small package,who knows his voice. That's what makes him great!🤘
Met him a couple times. Very nice man.
Ronnie is always straightforward and honest
Ronnie the Opera of Hard Rock
For sure!
When Ronnie James Dio sings he' s a fire breathing dragon. Every album he sings on is a milestone. Rainbow Rising, Heaven and Hell, Mob rules, Holy diver, the list is just as long as his dicography. Whenever he spoke or sang you're obliged to listen. He's a master storyteller. All of these things he combines with everything you said spot on pitch, larger than life stage pressence and a very human and humble man. While knowing his own worth.
He was great, it's true! 😀
I just love Dio. One of my favourite male singers of all time. So much talent and passion in his voice. You just feel what he's singing.
Indeed!
Also, way off topic BUT I wondered;
- How do you keep your hair looking that healthy?
- How do you maintain that positive aura that you seem to have in each of your videos?
- Where do you shop for your shirts? They are the best on TH-cam! Who's with me?
Yeah, I'm digging the shirts to? How about it Mr. Tamplin?
😀
Also his pronunciation is clear and crisp. If one does not get the lyrics he is singing there is something profoundly wrong.
😀😀😀
Dio was also a phenominal 'clean' singer too. Rainbow Eyes is a great example. Also if you haven't heard him on Roger Glover's Butterfly Ball album, check out the song Sitting In A Dream.
One of my fav Dio songs.
Muttley Von Erich 👍
Rainbow Eyes is an extraordinary song. Holds a special place in my heart
I like both you and Rick Beato. You guys are the most educated musicians I know on TH-cam.
Thanks! Rick is great!
Dio is one of my favorite singers. I wish you would have also addressed how he could sing softly and melodicly and with such clarity and conviction. Also what I love most is how he uses so many colors in his singing style. When I hear people say that someone sounds just like Dio, I will hear the similarity in tone and power, but never in expression. That's what makes Ronnie a truly great singer, for me.
Thanks for pointing that out, Mustang Debbie!
This sounds like an awesome series, looking forward to it! Dio is one of my favorite singers, among Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, and others
Glad you approve, Erik! 😀
"The First Time I Heard Ronnie James Dio sing I Felt shivers down my spine." - Ritchie Blackmore
Great series, Ken. I'm a follower of Rick Beato, too.
😀
Ronnie had the best tone of voice I've ever heard. He was a tenor but the fullness of his tone made him sound like a baritone. He could sound raw and edgy, but his voice could also be very soft. He was also often better live than in studio (like in the clip you showed). He was the most complete singer ever in my opinion.
😀
I am fascinated by singers who sound better live. Another channel's analysis mentioned the acting ability of Ronnie on stage. He didn't just sing, but performed the song. And it's obvious he loved performing. Its too sterile in the studio. I suspect Ronnie needed an audience to bring out his best.
@@mustangdebbie56 Yeah his voice was much more raw and energetic live. He was just on fire when he performed.
Ronnie was always performing flawless on stage. Sounds as perfect as the studio records.
Gabriela loannidou 👍
Ronnie's sound was incredibly huge, when you hear him sing you think he is around E4, then you discover he is around B4....
Diego Raffa 💪
Ronnie was a beast. His singing was phenomenal. Look forward to the rest of the series!
reimann4 👍
Great idea! I follow Rick Beato too 😊 stay safe Ken
Thanks, Mamy. You too!
Went to Forrest lawn cemetery in Hollywood hills on Sunday to visit his resting place . Lemmy is about 100 feet away across the courtyard facing him . That was special with a sprinkle of rain from the heavens .
👍
RJD always looked like he stepped out of the D&D players handbook ⚔️
Thanks for listening!
Keep smiling my brother Ken.
Ronnie is the best and no one can reach to his level 🤘🤘
Great idea for a series Ken. I will love commenting on those I've studied, paying homage to them with you.
😀
Totally agree with you. When Ozzy departed from Black Sabbath and was substituted by Dio. The replacement took Black Sabbath to the top of the top on the metal at that time and both of them have a distinctive touch, voice and presence on their own. And when Dio was on Rainbow it was also amazing the good combination of all instruments and the sound that Richie Blackmore wanted to create with Rainbow back then, Mr. Dio met it very well. But when Mr. Dio finally decided to go on by himself and formed his supportive fellows or band members then he reached the level I think was looking for. More projection not only of his amazing vocals but also that combination of sounds and instruments he wanted. And mainly, the harmony on each records and that presence on stage he had.
What comes to mind for me first about Dio was his hands. The first time I saw him live, I was so far away from the stage that I could barely see him, but I was still able to make out each finger on his hands. The reason was that in every gesture that he made on stage, he carried tremendous energy through his whole body and he expressed everything with such great specificity. I direct Shakespeare professionally, and I love to see that kind of specificity and energy in any live performance. I always harboured a secret desire to direct him as Prospero in The Tempest. To me, he was the single greatest stage performer I ever saw, in any artform.
Ronnie James Dio rocks. I love his music. Thanks for sharing such an awesome singer. I grew up on 80's music. I love hair bands as well.
Thanks for listening! 😀
Hi Ken, it's so awesome that you do Dio first in your series of "what make's this singer great". Ronnie James Dio was THE singer who first inspired me to sing. I heard two albums: "Rainbow Rising" and "Mob Rules" and I heard his voice and I was playing bass at the time, and I just said to myself - you know what?- this is what I want to do - sing with the power and tone that this person has, bass guitar is not for me anymore. I never went back to bass. Dio is just pure power and melody combined.
😀😀😀
Smiling from ear to ear! That little man with the big big voice! He had a way of carrying himself on stage that stays with you. 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Couldn't agree more!
Not only was Dio a phenomenal singer, but he was also very kind to up and coming struggling musicians. In the 80's, I was a front man for a rock band in Texas. It was a big weekend for me, as we had a club gig on Friday, and I had tickets to the Dio show on Saturday. Halfway through our set at the club, I see this mountain of a man pushing his way though the crowd towards the bar....and who does he have in tow....none other that Dio and Vivian Campbell. They got drinks and stayed to watch the last part of the show, and they were kind enough to speak with us after we finished, and had words of encouragement for us. I had the opportunity to see Dio in Rainbow, Black Sabbath and solo.....all were incredibly awesome.
Very cool! 😀
This is the guy that influenced Bruce Dickinson. Enough said
👍
Dear Ken, this series proves you really know yourself at inspiring people. Thank you for all that!
Thanks so much, Philippe!
YOU SHOULD DO ONE ON BRENDON URIE! This series is so useful to help people better understand why and what makes these singers so great. I love this series already, keep it up, Ken :)
😀
Dio used a microphone as a prop because his voice didn't need it. He had volume and range that opera singers would be envious to have. I've listened to many excellent singers but Ronnie James Dio was in its own class. He exuded the definition of a metal music singer. I am stunned by the clear resonance and power of his voice without any struggle to reach his notes. He either learned to mimic vocal technique very well or he studied vocal placement. That's way too much knowledge.
Thanks for the thoughts!
Little guy with a HUGE VOICE!!
A documentary coming too
Totally!
Was lucky to have been able to see RJD many times over the years and was never disappointed. Ronnie has always been in my top 3 or 4 “Metal/ Hard Rock” vocalists... Saw him with Sabbath too.. amazing. So sad we lost him at such a young age. RIP Ronnie..
That's awesome you were able to see him, MonsterMetalManiac!
Ty Ken. And once again thanks for all the great lessons and content you offer here ! Have learned so much over the years ! God bless and stay safe.
Ronnie was so explosive and spot on like coach said. He was definitely a vocal powerhouse and top of the line. The best metal singer ever.
Thanks for the visit! 😊
I totally agree with that "...for such a short guy, he has a big instrument"
😀
I actually like Ronnie’s live voice better than recorded vocals
👍
Ronnie was amazing, So glad I got to meet him back in 2008. He and Tony Iommi were very sweet.
That's awesome, Heidi!
Same I also met Ronnie, Tony his wife and Geezer
Ronnie could go real high to, entering the Zeppelin zone
Funny thing is, he seldom did that, though he could have done it all the time.
It was just a throwaway thing for him.
There's a late Live clip (from 2008 or something) where he starts Mob Rules with this crazy shriek, and it sounds killer of course.
But high shrieks just wasn't his thing....
He had such a rich toolbox, he didn't have to use all the tools he had.
Amazing dude.
Ronnie james dio, a true artist so sad that he left us makes me kinda sad, but he left us amazing soulful music to keep listening over the year :) gj baby ken hope u doing well !
😀
Do Rob Halford.
Noted! 😀
Ken, can you please do John Schlitt, particularly his stuff with Petra?
You've helped me appreciate Ronnie so much more, thank you Ken!
My pleasure, 356 Pounds TO FIT!
For me Dio is one of the best singers ever. He makes songs with great riffs even better. POWER, RANGE, DISTORTION! just wow! Please do DAVID COVERDALE! Concert for that is London 2004!
😀
thanks for still being on and being there for us all....hope you and your family are healthy!!
We are, thank you! 😀
This video has the most genuine smile I've seen on you in all your videos. It cant be because of anything else than the love we a feel for the late and great dear Ronnie. I met Ronnie once and he was such a nice man.
In regards to Ronnie I feel its worthwhile to note is audience skills in doing for example Heaven and Hell live. Is it possible not to sing along to it?
Love this series. I hope u do a real one on Freddie. Not just the obvious stuff, but the stuff that us musicians notice. Like that he started with a quite immature voice i 71 and forged it to a cannon towards the late late 70s, before he blew it out and never really recovered for live work. He got severe throat nodules and for example had a steroid shot in the throat before live aid. Where he lasted about 10 minutes until hammer to fall poor man. Though his highest studio note in mixed/full voice is on the Barcelona album. At 4:51 in "The Golden Boy" ( new orchestrated vers.).
That Freddie had problems and still stood on the stage to the best of his ability is one of his most laudable traits. Then of course he wrote and played all the amazing stuff in addition.
I think y have the cahonas to tell it straight, because thats when the real greatness of an artis comes across.
Well said! 😀
I love it how you talk about him in the present tense like he's still with us. I guess he never really left us, right?
We have his music. 😀
I cried when Dio died. He had the greatest rock voice of all time. In my book that is. I still rock gypsy
Grant Scott Wilson ❤️
Same here 💔
I have been a huge fan of Ronnie James Dio since the 80´s and i have heard and seen him live a number of times and have heard and seen countless of live bootleg recordings and videos as well as official recordings and i agree about the consistency. You dont need to see/hear official live recordings that may or may not be edited to hear a great performance, you can pull up any old bootleg, sure the soundquality isnt always there, but you can be sure the vocal performance is killer, he never held back.
Dio really had it all to be one of the greatest metal singers to ever live and he knew how to use his abilities, his music and singing has touched me deeply, he really was one of a kind and i really miss him.
😀
It's very simple, he's the best Heavy Metal singer, he took the game to the next level, (sorry, Mr. Osbourne)
If you think in Heavy metal, you think in Ronnie!!
Amazing video as always Ken!
🔥🌟🎤🌟🔥👍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Omar!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy I'm glad to see you're fine Ken, please take care and keep on rockin'!! 😃🎸🎤🌠🌠
One of the best rock/metal singers of all time :)
Ken, check out Jorn Lande too. Jorn filled in for RJD after Ronnie passed away, so that Heaven And Hell could fulfill an obligation to an outdoor festival they had.
Will do! 😀
RJD...just wow...a man who honed his craft flawlessly. It mattered to him and it showed when he performed. Rock meets opera, meets theater...meets dungeons and dragons lol...very cool ahead of his time. He created a genre in my opinion. THANK YOU KEN for bringing attention to him. God Bless.
😀
Ehi Ken , huge Dio fan here, and i know you are probably even a bigger fan than me. Since i consider you the best vocal coach here on TH-cam(and Dio lover, again), i would recommend doing a reaction or at least watching ( if you didn't already) : Rainbow-Kill the king( live in Munich 1977) ; awesome song, all the group slays it, but Dio was particularly on fire that night, so so tight to the studio version. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ronnie James Pux!
My favorite RJD performance was on Rainbow's "Kill the King." Pure power!
First of all, you're awesome, thanks for your hard work, I think I wont be lieing if I say that dedication you put into music isn't and never will be left unrecognised. Totally love it.
As for some criticism, you have listed why Dio was such a great singer and rock icon, it all counts, but I wish you elaborated a bit more about his main advantages, such as harmonic distortions and such.
It's always a pleasure to see your videos!
Thanks, Mykola!
Interesting enough I'm watching his DVD right now and God bless his soul still kept rocking until the day he passed away. Oh and I love the story behind the devil horns people put up with their pinky and pointer finger not realizing that Ronnies Grandmother started that 🤘
😀
Ken Tamplin again in my breakfast time!! This time around is much more special! My fav: Dio!!! Hit right on the spot, man!! Congratulations!
Rock on!
Phil Anselmo and Sebastian Bach are real wild cards in this topic so they’d be great to dissect but Matt “Shadows” Sanders is honestly a one man Swiss-Army knife of voice. Highly recommend. Great topic by the way!
😀
What a way to start a series! Dio! Heck yeah! If I could give multiple likes for a video, this would get 100 minimum. Your voice has so much of him in it, which is probably why I've gravitated to your music since first hearing it.
Thanks so much, Metalbass!!! 😀
Dio was such a phenomenal artist and singer...and a phenomenal human being, too. He is sorely missed, but his music has so much life in it, it's almost like he's still here, in a way.
👍
Great job! Prayers and wishes for your health and wellness in this unstable times. Next do Rob Halford, Steve Perry, Bruce Dickinson, Axl Rose, and Milijenko Mitijevic!
Thank you, Eugene.
"giant roaring lion" indeed! What I admire most about Dio was his passion. He gave 100% PLUS to what he did. He simply cannot be emulated without that level of passion. My opinion. :)
Rock on!
I love this video and the Freddie Mercury video as well!
Some suggestions I have for the series are:
Rob Halford, Eric Adams, Jeff Scott Soto, Axl Rose, Brian Johnson, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Phil Anselmo, Burton C. Bell, Cam Pipes and my favorite: Kevin James LaBrie.
Thanks for the suggestions, Flutter Hoof!
So many great things about Dio. Unique voice with that distortion you mentioned. Less of that later in his career, very prevalent in his early and mid career.
Great range. He sang in a surprisingly high register. He must have been a tenor I'm guessing. So if you're a baritone like me and then you try to sing his stuff... haha.
He was small in stature. Maybe not the classically handsome guy. But a fighter. Kind of like Sy Stallone in Rocky.
And super blessed with an amazing gift for music. Not just vocals. His melodies are outstanding. Always interesting.
The lyrics tell a story. Always telling a story. Plus they're layered in their meaning. Like a great movie director. Kubrick.
He cared about his fans. He never gave a bad show. I know he would smoke a little weed before his shows and sometimes he would get a little lost on the lyrics. But that just shows me that he had them memorized and was going for feel. Not reading them from a teleprompter like a karaoke.
People describe Ozzy as more of an entertainer, but I think Dio always outmatched him there. The stage shows were always top notch.
If I had one qualm with Dio, I only wish that he'd cut everyone in on the profits for his solo band. I loved that first lineup. I would have listened to 100 albums from them.
Maybe my favorite singer of all time. So versatile. Listen to Elf. Carolina County Ball man. Just astounding. I miss you Ronnie.
Thanks for the visit! Rock on!
A true legend he is! Another man of the same caliber is Bruce Dickinson. He's so unbelievably professional!
Also, both of them were/are very humble persons.
Absolutely, TheDryparn!
Aloha Mr. T. Yes incredible stage presence indeed. I've also noticed, Mr. Dio is like a ninja with the rock n roll hand gesture. 🤘 It comes out of the blue. You don't know when it is coming. But you know it'll come. Aloha.
Rock on!
Charisma !!! He had mucho happiness and he gave it all to YOU EVERY TIME. He leaves me with feelings of push yourself keep going. Ying and yang. Good and evil stories. Mesmerizing bard.
Long live the memory of Ronnie James Dio.
😀
how about Joe Lynn Turner for a "reaction" or "what makes this singer great" ? :) just a suggestion i've been really interested hearing your toughts on!
Absolutly love what he did i Rainbow and Deep Purple!
oh, Dio was a rockstarman!
thx for this video Ken!
Noted. Love him!
Thanks for reminding this legendary metal king on more time) You Rock!
😀
He was not tall in stature, but definitely belongs to the big ones. I have been a huge fan ever since the 70's. Stellar voice, knew how to capture an audience with his whole performance and stage presence. And I can add, I had the pleasure of meeting him in person and he really was a nice guy.
Very nice! 😀
Dio is AWESOME.
Dio has a lot of power and clarity he can sing softly too, from Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, DIO, he has tons of material to check out. I'm a fan of you and Beato's channels!
Thanks, Iternity Human!
There are many reasons as to why DIO is/was great. beyond the obvious ( his talent ) is something he said over and over again in both interviews and at shows and that was " everything I do, I do for all of you " ( us - the fans ) this why he was so loved by so many around the world and will never be forgotten.
Nice!
RJD was a phenomenal vocalist and songwriter. I was fortunate to see him in 2002 at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC where he performed a variety of his material from Rainbow (Man on the Silver Mountain and Long Live Rock and Roll), Black Sabbath (Children of the Sea and Heaven and Hell) along with his solo work.
Recommendations future episodes: Bruce Dickinson and Devon Townsend.
Thanks for the recommendations, Scot R.!
One of the biggest influential metal singers, and a multifaceted singer. There are many songs that show his versatility, but I think Die Young is a great example. Or maybe Children of the sea. Unique.
😀
The most masculine, powerful and primitive voice. I would live ten years less If I can sing as well as him. Dio, a lifelong example😌
Thanks Ken. Another inspiring installment in this series. As soon as I was done with your vid, I listened to Over and Over from Mob Rules. It's such an intense, sad song, and Dio just kills it. So does Tony Iommi. Dio, though, hits that last note on "again" and it gives chills.
👍
The love of my life in high school was a trumpet player then, singer and bass player in a great band. He met Ronnie and sounded similar. ✌🤘🙏
Great breath control.
Awesome Review Ken. Ronnie James is probably one of everybody's favorites, even people not into the heavy metal scene appreciate Ronnie's voice. I particularly loved Mask of the Great Deceiver he did with Kerry Livgren. Awesome singer and awesome review. Thanks for doing this series Ken, they are so cool.
Awesome! Thank you!
My first love of rock in roll Ronnie James Dio sure do miss him! 🖤
So do I. 😀
Well, I know that I have heard that song many times, and still never get tired of hearing it. His stage presence I thought it was right on. Kind of like they about didn't have enough stage for him. I mean that must seem like walking out on the deck of a battle ship your first few times.
Thanks for weighing in, JBeats100!
Power, story telling & consistency those are the few things I first think of :)
Jbf Music & Guitar 👍
I am kinda shocked you never brought up his early stuff... dude was doing doo wop in the late 50s early 60s, I think.
I always found it fascinating that Ronnie started out in that genre and then found his calling in metal and go on to become one of the biggest frontmen in hard rock and metal.
Needless to say, Icon. Just an icon.
😀😀😀
What an iconoclast. I am a child of the 80's. Rob Halford is another. I learned a lot of bringing my voice out trying to sing along with the "Sad wings of destiny " album. Hope he is on your list.
Thanks for the suggestion, John!
@@kentamplin The studio sound is so raw that is what brings out the greatness of it.(IMO) Obscure songs like "dreamer Deceiver", "Epitaph " Ken, or singing fam, if you haven't heard this album , you gotta take a listen.
Vivian campbell one of my fav guitarist❤🎸
😀
I feel like it was just RJD voice. He had a great natural tone. So he didn't need to do alot to just sound incredible. It was a natural gift. Love your channel and looking forward to other mentions of the Greats!
Happy to hear that, Tim!
He really is all that as a singer and performer Ken.Thanks for helping me to understand by examination of it.Now to practice my much humbler instrument...
Paul Toy 👍
Dio was amazing he also knew how to make his voice bigger by adding in the keyboard pads and using counter melodies and different modes to make things seem bigger than they were.
Plus he was just bad ass.
😀
Starting strong I see with the Metal god himself! Would love to see Corey Taylor and Lizzy Hale just suggestions for this series of "What makes this singer great" :) Love your content man!
Noted! Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Great stuff, love how you shouted out Rick Beato, love his channel too.
You bet, Rockesb888!
Awesome type of video, awesome content and awesome singer. I love this very dramatic and apparently exaggerated way he sings. It's like he was taking the feelings or ideas he wanted to transmit with the song and stretching it right in front of your face against your will😂 Very daring. Of course I wouldn't like it with every artist or song, but this guy knows how to do it in a way that's very cool and theatrical, as Ken said.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good tangent with ideas. Take care Ken. Good job and do continue. Cheers.
Thanks, will do! 😀
@@kentamplin just this moment caught in the video you touched up on his passing. Like your funny stories you tend to give, mine is not so fun, but nice. The day he passed, Metallica was here in Zagreb, Croatia, and the whole thing stood still for a silent minute the guys asked for in his honor. Very touching and nice of them. Hmmm, transcendent if I'm asked. Again. Cheers and thank you for everything.
GLDRocky Such a loss to the music world. Gone way too soon. 😪
Ken i respect you soo much,but the greatness it is so impossible to explain.Salut.
I hear you, Ivan!
Playing an instrument can definitely help with breath control. I can attest to that. Things like trumpet, harmonica, irish whistle, anything that does require breath control will cross over into vocals. If only in helping you learn how to breath and how to get good breaths while making music. Side note: Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the hardest things to teach at times. Because as much as you describe what is happening its hard to illustrate in a visual way.
Ed Miller 👍
I'm from Costa Rica, I didn't know you lived here for a while. keep up the good videos!
Thanks! Will do!
Since I'm a bit of a Dio nerd, I've looked closely at Dios lifestyle. And I can tell you, it was a weird lifestyle for a singer.
His habits were not healthy. How he could keep that voice is a mystery.
He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for years, he smoked a truckload of pot, he loved beer and his eating habits were downright terrible.
All these things would kill any singer who works on Dios level. We're talking demanding , technical, stellar rock singing here.
How Dio could combine his iconic voice with his bad habits, is quite fascinating.
By 1996 you can hear some degradation, he's not able to hit the notes he was hitting only 2 years earlier, it could also be attributed to age but in my opinion (I'm an unprofessional fan so take it with a grain of salt) all the bad habits you've listed contributed to the degradation that happened in the later part of the 90s.
We can notice things like his voice breaking or going flat, him not attempting the heaven and hell high note and when he did he would fail every time. Even with that he was able to keep himself together and work around the limitations that age and his lifestyle gave him. Never lost it, great performer!
You're upbeat ed ness is very contagious .
🤘😎🤘
Thank you, gtrmarv333!
This is awesome! Thank you for keeping the great singers alive, man!
My pleasure, Juan!
