One. Dio was basically vocalist Ronnie James Dio's solo band after he quit Black Sabbath, and he's the only member to have remained constant.
Black Sabbath
Tony Martin was the person who sang in that album.
Mostly Toni Iommi writing and structuring the music, and Geezer wrote the lyrics. Ozzy and Bill contributed some but not much of it other than supporting the music and/or coming up with vocal melodies.
approximately 20 including black sabbath

Marian Anderson
The song Iron Man is by Black Sabbath, their singer was Ozzy Osbourne.
Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne had a hit with it in the 90s, but Black Sabbath did the original on their album Vol. 4.

The most famous version would be the Black Sabbath version. There is a completely different song of the same title by the Jonas Brothers.
