Happy Birthday Ozzy!
Happy Birthday to John Michael Osborne or Ozzy as he known to the world.
Born on this day in 1948 he would become a legend in rock n roll and was a pioneer in heavy metal with his band Black Sabbath.
Here is Ozzy's biggest charting solo single on the Billboard Hot 100:
"Close My Eyes Forever" with Lita Ford.
Peaking at #8 in 1989.
Ozzy's biggest singles chart success without Black Sabbath came in 2003. He and daughter Kelly sang a duet of "Changes", the Black Sabbath song from 1972. They reached #1 in the UK on December 14th and spent one week at the top.

Album Spotlight
This week we turn the spotlight on one of the legendary groups of heavy metal rock n roll, Black Sabbath and their classic album Paranoid.
Released in September of 1970 this was their only album to top the UK album charts, spending one week at the #1 in October of 1970. It replaced and then was itself replaced at the top by Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water.
Paranoid made it to #12 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart and has sold over 4 million copies in the United States.
This is considered the "magum opus" for Black Sabbath and includes their 3 biggest selling singles in "Iron Man", "War Pigs" and of course the title track "Paranoid".
Oddly enough the song "Iron Man" was awarded the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2000, 30 years after its release.

Randy Rhoades
Yesterday March 19th 2010 was the 28th anniversary of the passing of legendary guitar wizard Randy Rhoads. He died in a freak airplane crash when the pilot of the single engine plane decided to buzz the Ozzy Osbourne tour bus, the wing of the plane clipped the top of the bus sending it flipping over into a house. The house and plane exploded on impact and Randy was killed instantly.
Here is the song that Randy is most remembered for and probably has his most recognizable guitar sound, Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne.
Here is the AP story of that crash.
