🎼14 April 1945. A true Heavy⚡️Metal day definetly deserves to be concluded with an absolute guitar 🎸 king 🤴 Happy Birthday🥳🍾to his majesty Ritchie Blackmore, aka The Man in Black, born Richard Hugh Blackmore in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England.
Simply one of the best living guitarist and one of the few masters of hard rock riffs, for sure one of the most influential for the entire rock scene. Founder and #guitarist of Deep Purple from 1968 to 1975, then Rainbow from 1975 onwards and later Blackmore's Night (a traditional folk project together with his wife Candice Night), he wrote uncountable songs and hits throughout 4 decades.
It's really impossible for me to choose a representative song to celebrate #RitchieBlackmore 🎂, Smoke on the Water of course sounds good in every occasion😊, but I prefer to share this heavenly 😳❤️🙏🏻 live performance back in the 70s with an amazing Ronnie James Dio on vocals... maybe the most perfect duo ever for the genre, they make me shiver every time! 🤟👏

"The night tells a thousand lies
And when you wake up in the morning
Were you dreaming
Screaming
Tryin' to hide your burnin' heart
Before somebody cuts it all away.
Sunset Superman"
