The first video that pops up for them on YouTube is Call To The Heart. I remember that song. I'm sure I haven't heard it since that radio station died in the 90s.
And yes, I like it. |

I saw Cheap Trick open for the Moody Blues (awesome). And a bunch of nobodies open for Cheap Trick over the years outside of The Get Up Kids which was a lot of fun. The BoDeans opening for U2 was pretty good, but most opening bands I've seen have been pretty meh. |

I never met the other guys. Ken Mary and Lanny Cordolla bolted for Christian Rock music after Guiffria (although they both appeared on HOL albums) so we weren't running in the same circles by the time I moved to Hollywood in 1993. |

The first album found quite a bit of radio and MTV success but the second album, in which several band members were replaced, didn't do much in terms of record sales and radio play. The band signed with Geffen after their second album but the third album was never completed or released. |

And yeah, I'm with you on his only Dio album - it's my favorite, by far, and it's a damn shame he didn't get to record another with him before his death in 2010. His two albums with Whitesnake are awesome, IMO, as well. He was the only guy to take what John Sykes did on the 1987 album and run with it. |

And that brings me full circle in this thread. I really regret not making an effort to see the 2009 H&H tour. Nobody knew Ronnie had less than a year to live. Last edited by htismaqe; 08-09-2020 at 06:49 PM.. |

Giuffria does a song "Call to the Heart', which I think was their biggest hit. It's one of those songs whenever Hair Nation plays it on XM Radio I've got to turn it up. The singer was David Glen Eisley who married the actress Olivia Hussey and I believe they're still together. He had a great voice similar to Survivor's late singer Jimi Jameson. The band had some chops, as mention Greg Giuffria was with Angel, guitar was Craig Goldy who also played with Dio and bassist was Chuck Wright who was with Quiet Riot.
Here's Call to the Heart live in Japan 1985 I saw on the news a few years ago that Greg Giuffria was doing quite well living in Las Vegas running casinos and developing properties. In fact they did a reunion tour in 2015 and the band with his name, he was the only one not to show up. David Glen Eisley apparently can no longer hit the high notes. This is from a show in England in 2015, that's David Glen Eisley in the ball cap and it's almost painful to listen to him trying to sing. |

Ronnie Dio & the Prophets, Ronnie James Dio was a doo whop singer when he was about 21. He was born July 10, 1942, I can always remember his birthday because I was born on July 10 and my wife was born in '42, that just sticks in my head. He got the stage name early, his real name was a little too long "Ronald James Padavona".
