RIP Jim Steinman

#1 Post by Vandal » Wed Apr 21, 2021 5:58 am

Jim Steinman, Hitmaker for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Dead at 73

Rock and pop hitmaker Jim Steinman, who wrote and composed music for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and more, died Monday, April 19th. He was 73.

The office of the chief medical examiner in Connecticut confirmed Steinman’s death to Rolling Stone. A cause of death was not given.

A statement posted on Steinman’s Facebook page read, “It’s with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim’s passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy. For now, do something that makes you feel young, happy and free. He’d want that for you!”

Steinman’s wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for an array of artists in a variety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he’s worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated for four Grammys over the course of his career as well, ultimately winning Album of the Year for his work on Dion’s 1996 smash, Falling Into You.

Nearly all of the music Meatloaf made that was special, involved Jim Steinman. I loved Steinman's operatic rock/pop sensibility.

I read somewhere that Total Eclipse of the Heart is still one of the most selected songs for Karaoke.
