Dio was an iconic heavy metal artist known for his powerful vocals and theatrical stage presence. Born Ronald James Padavona in 1942, Dio began his music career in the late 1950s as a member of various rock bands. In the 1970s, he gained recognition as the lead vocalist of Rainbow and later joined Black Sabbath, where he replaced Ozzy Osbourne. Dio's solo career took off in the 1980s with hits like "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark." His distinctive voice and lyrics exploring fantasy themes made him a beloved figure in the metal community. Despite his untimely death in 2010, Dio's legacy continues to inspire generations of rock fans.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

dinah washington had everything you could ask for in a singer - pitch, phrasing, diction, savvy, romanticism, humor, a voice golden or guttural, you name it. she was utterly comfortable in whatever style was called for that day, whether jazz, r&amp;b, blues or pop. her versatility is readily apparent on the series of classy "jazz" albums she recorded for emarcy/mercury from 1954 through 1959, till the enormous success of "what a difference a day made" inspired mercury to try to force her into a purely hit-making mold. the swingin' miss "d" was recorded in 1956 with 23-year-old quincy jones arranging. jones was already an experienced hand with dinah, since he wrote the charts for her lyrical for those in love in 1954. as the full title states, miss "d" is an altogether different affair - upbeat and crisply arranged, with washington turning in one exhilarating tour de force performance after another. expectedly, there are also exquisite ballad performances here like "ev'ry time we say goodbye", "i'll close my eyes" and the newly-written "never let me go". but it's the hard-driving charts (surperbly restored in this verve master edition) that show miss d to such advantage on this particular day.
