Any Dio Fans? Did Dio Record A Song Called 10 Lovers

[nellypope]

When I was but a mere slip of a schoolgirl, me and my best mate used to raid our older brothers/parents record collections and make mad mix tapes, generally heavy/progressive rock orientated (those were the days) . My mate Jules put a song on one tape in particular called 10 lovers (I'm sure it was called this) and I am convinced (sort of) that it was by Dio? But I can't find reference to it anywhere. It was a kind of folky, rock number. Anyone enlighten me?

10 Lovers

When I hear them use your name
I get all choked up inside
It's not only from the shame
It's like 10 different lovers died
Except you're still just a mile away
But there's nothing left to say

Don't leave us not in love again
Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything

If I found another love
They must be forever true
Cause if someone breaks this heart
Your old man right here is through
Heaven just seems so far away
When there's nothing left to say

Don't leave us not in love again
Cause we might break instead of bend
I felt a little strain in the pouring rain
It washed away most everything

Don't leave us not in love again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong

I can't find 10 lovers, and I have the lot!! He did a track called lovers but that's all I can find. The song above was by The Black Keys, hope this helps

What about Ronnie & The Red Caps - Lover 1958. This was early RJD.

Sorry guys nope. The only lyric I can remember was from the chorus and went.
10 lovers gonna make me crazy

Bear in mind my mate had taped it off overplayed vinyl. Perhaps it wasn't Dio.
