His late father-in-law was probably one of the most evil, parasitic jews to ever exist in show business...it's beyond irony that his jewish wife is largely the one who kept him alive for more or less 50 years

His voice and range was never great- don't even bother an attempt to compare him to Dio; it's not apples and oranges- it's comparing a Maserati to a Volkswagon...but he was a hell of a performer and showman; in the music industry that's often enough to get you by and even make you rich and famous, but it's his wife who was responsible for that for many decades

But his membership as an original in Black Sabbath it what's personal for me- despite his limited/raw vocals, he was a better lyricist than people give him credit for, although Butler and Iommi are the ones who came up with most of Sabbath's great tunes and albums...and make no mistake, those are *great* fucking albums, and I'm specifically referring to the first six albums, minus a few pieces of shit tunes their jewish manager and heads of labels wanted them to record
