About Dio
Dio was the band led by singer Ronnie James Dio after his work with Rainbow and Black Sabbath. Drummer Vinny Appice accompanied him from Sabbath into the new group. Its debut Holy Diver arrived in 1983 and included both the title song and Rainbow in the Dark. These tracks belong to Dio's own recording catalog; the singer's earlier band affiliations do not change their credited performer to Rainbow or Black Sabbath.
