Bio:
John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English heavy metal vocalist, songwriter, and television personality. Osbourne rose to prominence in the early 1970s as the lead vocalist of the pioneering band Black Sabbath, whose dark and heavy sound has often been cited as key to the development of the heavy metal genre. Osbourne left Black Sabbath in 1979 and has since had a successful solo career, releasing 11 studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the U.S., although he has reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions, most recently in 2011, to record the album 13, which was released in 2013. Osbourne's longevity and success have earned him the informal title of "Godfather of Heavy Metal".Osbourne's total album sales from his years in Black Sabbath, combined with his solo work, is over 100 million.[As a member of Black Sabbath he was inducted into the U.S. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame as both a solo artist and as a member of the band. He has a star on the Birmingham Walk of Stars as well as the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the early 2000s, he became a TV star, appearing as himself in the MTV reality program The Osbournes, alongside wife/manager Sharon and two of their three children, Kelly and Jack.
Album:
The Prince Of Darkness – Legend OZZY OSBOURNE – passed away. It comes just a few days after the Black Sabbath star took to the stage one final time with his band mates at Villa Park in Birmingham. He died “surrounded by love”, a statement from his family said on Tuesday night.As tribute to this Rock Music Icon, we are featuring ”Best Of Ozz”, a compilation released in 1989 including great songs from his early era as solo artist. There’s only 10 tracks, and sure, one wonders why isn’t included “Suicide Solution” or “I Don’t Know”. But on the other hand there’s great deeper cuts rarely included into G.H. such as “Diary of a Madman”, “Over the Mountain” and “Goodbye to Romance”. I’m also glad “The Ulimate Sin” and “‘Secret Loser” were included, as these songs has sort of been erased from Ozzy’s canon since then, in a manner of speaking. He didn’t liked reissuing any songs from that album.Even though this album came out after No Rest for the Wicked (1988), this ‘Best Of Ozz’ includes no songs from that album or with guitarist Zakk Wylde. The songs are drawn from the first four Ozzy studio LP’sSo what’s the big deal with ”Best Of Ozz”? These are the original LP versions, not the remixed used on all Ozzy Best Of’s.The classic-early Ozzy songs on ”Best Of Ozz” such as ”Over The Mountain”, ”Crazy Train”, ”Diary Of A Madman”, and even ”Mr. Crowley” sound perfect and unchanged.R.I.P. Ozzy, a heavy metal true Icon.
