Great artist in his own unique way. Sad loss.

oops! bad mistake, i thought Jim Steinman was Meatloaf's real name !

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Just seen this, superb writer of what I'd call wall of sound type rock.

RIP Jim, many a night rocking out to your tunes.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Sad news. Played the Bat out of Hell album loads during my student days. RIP Jim

Ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

RIP

One of my favourite albums is, Original Sin (Pandoras Box) written by Steinman, one of the best song writers over the last 40 years.

An unusual writer. Huge melodramatic songs. Once, accused of going over the top, he said:
"If you don't go over the top, you won't know what's on the other side."

One of his lesser known Steinman classics (No. 73 in the UK, folks) sung by Bonnie Tyler and Todd Rundgren (not Todd in the video though);

He produced a really good album for her; includes a tremendous cover of Blue Oyster Cult's Goin' Through the Motions
