Yep, it's the late great Ronnie James Dio singing on his first of three studio albums with Black Sabbath. Four, if you count the album released under the Heaven And Hell monicker in 2009 as a Black Sabbath album - and you definitely should!! One of my favorite parts of this song is the ending, with that lovely, melancholy keyboard riff from another late great Black Sabbath luminary: Geoff Nicholls. He was a part of Black Sabbath between 1979 and 2004, most of that time not as an official member because The band's management thought an official keyboard player hurt their "heavy" image. But on each and every one of those albums, Geoff's presence can be felt - and his contribution to the overall feel of the music is AMAZING.
Another couple of Black Sabbath from the later years are After All (The Dead) and Letters From Earth from their 1992 album Dehumanizer. Dio on vocals. Probably one of their heaviest albums
Dio was on 3 albums (Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, and Dehumanizer). Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, sang on the Born Again album - Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple, sang on the Seventh Star album, and Tony Martin was the vocalist in the late 80's and early 90's. "Psychophobia and Evil Eye" are good tunes with Tony Martin on vocals.
You should do the closer for the album after this one, ‘Over And Over’ is the same blues/jam type of song with like super sad lyrics. Dio singing at his best
Tony Iommi said this is HIS favourite Sabbath song.......blues/rock at its best....its got heavy soul !!!😊
The album Heaven and Hell , the pinnacle in Sabbath ' s album catalogue . A true masterpiece .

Q: Tony, how many guitar solos will you use on this song?
Tony: Yes.
One of my all time faves….Mob Rules also a killer album.
What a sick fuckin riff.
One of my favorites!
All good art expresses an aspect of the human condition/experience which should expand the understanding of the consumer of that art. Job done ...

4 albums if you count The Devil You Know. Same band. Just a different name.
Absolutely a tragedy that RJD isn't in the RnRHoF.
1980 was an amazing year for metal.
It's a bigger tragedy that anyone cares about RmRHoF, and giving Jann Wenner and his crew credit they didn't earn nor do they deserve
