About Man on the Silver Mountain

"Man on the Silver Mountain" is the first single by Rainbow and the first track of their debut album, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Written by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and singer Ronnie James Dio, this song is, as Dio said, "a semi-religious one, a man on the silver mountain is a kind of God figure everyone is crying out to". This track became one of Rainbow's best-known tracks and was also a live favourite for any Rainbow line-up, and also the band Dio. The words "The man on the silver mountain Ronnie James Dio" are inscribed on his grave.
