| > The listing ended. I think he bought it. Cool. Well done on bringing it to his attention. Did you read that partial review I found? Gosh. More Than You Deserve is a very important part of Jim's history. On this site's Everything Louder Than Everything Else page it says: 1974 More Than You Deserve - Commissioned by Papp, Steinman collaborated with Michael Weller (Hair and Ragtime) on this musical. During auditions for this play, Steinman and Meat Loaf first met. Kerrang! magazine names this meeting one of the Top 10 most important moments in the history of Rock and Roll. I found this on another site which is dedicated to unreleased Jim music: This satirical Vietnam comedy was Steinman’s first musical which was performed as a major production. Some of the actors (Fred Gwynne, Marybeth Hurt, Graham Jarvis) were or would be quite well known. And then there was Meat Loaf singing Steinman’s music for the first time. He didn’t have the biggest part or many songs to sing but he was the real star of the show. He recorded a single of the song More than You Deserve, and later a new version of it was on his album Dead Ringer. This show was also the start of the collaboration between Steinman and the talented arranger/pianist Steve Margoshes. Only one of the songs (More than You Deserve) has been released though Jim has used some of the musical themes in his other songs. A lot of the music probably was a bit too light to be released on a Steinman album. Do you agree? | |
