A note that said "Ozzy Zig needs a gig" left in a music shop led to the forming of Black Sabbath, according to its members. Founding member Geezer Butler told the Wall Street Journal that he saw Ozzy Osbourne’s note while in a Birmingham shop when he was actively looking for a singer after his band Rare Breed broke up. "I left word at his house," Butler said.
"The next day, a shoeless, head-shaven Ozzy Osbourne with a chimney brush over his shoulder was at my door." Black Sabbath members Bill Ward and Tony Iommi have also described finding the note in previous interviews but decided against letting Ozzy join them in a band because they knew him from high school and didn’t think he could sing. But Butler told the Journal, "Ozzy promised to grow his hair and said he had a P.A. system, which we didn’t have and needed," adding that he also recommended Ward and Iommi for the band. He said the four of them began playing blues wherever they could get a gig, then started writing their own songs and a year later, in 1969, they were Black Sabbath.
The band first called themselves the Polka Tulk Blues Band, then Earth before they settled on Black Sabbath, after a 1963 Boris Karloff movie. The band members eventually kicked Osbourne out of Black Sabbath a decade later due to his substance abuse issues, but the "Crazy Train" singer quickly embarked on his hugely successful solo career. "Black Sabbath always got bad reviews – bad concert reviews, bad album reviews," he told GQ in 2020, while reflecting on his days with the band. "But it was like punk: the more you hated us the more the fans loved us.
