Jim should be famous with the average chap on the street. Hopefully the PR people for "BOOH The Musical" can make a difference. As you say, "it is a shame his name was not more predominantly featured in the work he has been involved with." Do you think its too late for Jim to get the credit he deserves for past achievements? I pray that he will get the recognition for all his work if "Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell The Musical" is a success. He is so well known in the industry. The Evening Standard is the most important entertainment paper in England and their music critic (when writing a review of Celine Dion) wrote "the genius Jim Steinman" (while talking about how Celine came to life when she sang "Its All Coming Back To Me Now"). He was very negative about Celine singing Dianne Warren songs (calling Celine lifeless and refering to Dianne Warren as a "hack"). The music critic of The Evening Standard is just one example of industry people who love and respect Jim. But this does not necessarily translate into being famous with the public. As you say: "Unfortunately I think the general public is not familiar with Jim's name, regardless of the familiarity with his music." They know his work. They should know the man. Surely something can be done. | |
