.- Jim Steinman, who wrote all the songs on Bat Out of Hell, Meat Loafs operatic, teenage-angst-filled 1977 debut album, which remains one of the most successful records of all time, died Monday in Danbury, Connecticut. He was 73.
His longtime manager, David Sonenberg, announced the death. He said that Steinman had a stroke four years ago and that his health had recently been declining.
Steinman had a wide-ranging resume that included writing Bonnie Tylers 1983 No. 1 hit Total Eclipse of the Heart and serving as Andrew Lloyd Webbers lyricist on Whistle Down the Wind (1996). But his career-defining achievement was Bat Out of Hell, a record that no major label wanted but that has now sold tens of millions of copies.

Few behind-the-scenes figures in 20th century popular music have been unquestionably the greatest in their particular lane but if you were a powerhouse pop or rock vocalist of the 70s, 80s or 90s looking for a co-pilot for a grandiose and gloriously overwrought megaballad, you went Jim Steinman or you went home.
Rising to fame in the late 70s alongside Texan theater-rocker Meat Loaf as co-creators of the eventually Diamond-certified
Bat Out of Hell set, Steinman was simply without peer when it came to producing (and often co-penning) top 40-ready singles and best-selling albums on a Wagnerian scale. His soundscapes were bombastic, his lyrics were preposterous, and his songs were quite simply unforgettable anthems of heartbreak and perseverance and lord knows what else that have soundtracked countless film montages and every karaoke night wort
Jim Steinman, composer of bombastic hit records for Meat Loaf, dies at 73 Matt Schudel Jim Steinman, a songwriter who composed chart-topping hits for Celine Dion and Bonnie Tyler, but was best-known for creating the bombastic music for Meat Loaf’s popular “Bat Out of Hell” recordings, died April 19 in Danbury, Conn. He was 73. The death was confirmed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Connecticut, which did not provide additional details. A brother, Bill Steinman, told the Associated Press that the cause of death was kidney failure after strokes. Mr. Steinman, nothing if not eccentric, woke up late in the day and worked all night, writing songs that combined the power of opera, Broadway extravaganzas and the rock-and-roll wall of sound of producer Phil Spector.
