Paul Shortino, formerly of Rough Cutt and Quiet Riot, performs at the public memorial service for Ronnie James Dio. Paul tells a brief story which is hard to hear at times due to the outdoor taping and wind, but you'll still clearly feel his pain in his heartfelt delivery. Paul chose to sing a Beatles classic (probably my all time favorite Beatles song so I was thrilled to hear it).

It tears through me to watch this. Not only seeing Paul's heartache, but also the knowledge that Ronnie, whom i had the privilege of seeing live, many times, is no longer with us. We love you Paul, and we love and miss you Ronnie... RIP! \m/

I'm glad someone made the Lennon/Dio parallel. I've always looked up to Ronnie as a real upfront, sincere, honest good soul in the same style as John Lennon.

God bless you, Paul. That was understandably difficult for you. You did good, my friend! You and Ronnie (RIP) = the most amazing voices in the world! So many others too, but you guys rule! Keep smilin' and keep rockin', Dude. We love you, and we so miss and love Ronnie! I must give my respects to Pete Steele (Type O Negative) here, too. A bad year for real rock! We will never forget, and we will never stop listening. Nice one, Paul! And nice choice of song here, too... \m/ x

RJD once said Paul Shortino was his personal favorite vocalist. Dio and Shortino were always at the top of the list for me (with Rob Halford).
