On 4/21/21 at 5:47 AM EDT
Jim Steinman, the songwriter and producer behind one of the biggest hits of the 1970s, has died aged 73 of kidney failure, his brother confirmed to The Associated Press.
The Grammy-winning producer and songwriter was known for his bombastic, over-the-top rock songs, which he perfected with Meat Loaf's 1977
Bat Out of Hell. That album was one of the behemoths of the 1970s, selling over 50 million copies and staying on the U.K. record charts for over 10 years.
Though Steinman will be best remembered with his collaborations with Meat Loaf, he also penned hits for Celine Dion, Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply, won a Grammy, and had been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
