| I saw an interview with Meat Loaf at Swedish television in 1981 when he was promoting Dead Ringer. Then they showed the video for "Dead ringer for love". A few days later I bought the album and I noticied directly the text "Songs by Jim Steinman" on the cover. I wondered why this text was marked on it because I didn't know who Jim was and if it was supposed to mean that it was good. > I was thinking the other day about how many times I had > actually heard a Steinman classic on the radio or in a > movie before knowing he was the man who did them all. > It's interesting to consider how many songs of his I liked > without knowing he even did them.
