[Sir David Gray]

A bit before my time but my mum was a big fan and saw him live many times. I think most people, even now, will appreciate "Bat Out of Hell".

I prefer my rock to be much heavier than Meatloafs but Bat Out of Hell is an all time classic album. RIP

You might be thinking of Jim Steinman, credited with providing "lascivious effects" on the Bat Out Of Hell album.

RIP Marvin. I could take or leave his work but have lots of respect for the status he achieved in the world of music. Just read that he died from Covid complications.

What an album Bat out of Hell was,Meatloaf vocals and Todd Rundgrens guitaring. Ordered the Album before it was released in the UK.
I think he had underlying health conditions.
RIP

Indeed. I understand he had an underlying lack of vaccination.
I think he had a form of Parkinsons diagnosed about 20 years ago.
