Teilen
Jim Steinman ist tot. Der Komponist, Produzent und Musiker wurde 73 Jahre alt. In die Musikgeschichte ging Steinman mit seinen Songs zu BAT OUT OF HELL (1977) ein, die er Sänger Meat Loaf praktisch auf den Leib schrieb. Steinman hatte es anfangs schwer, für seinen theatralischen Hard Rock ein Label zu finden. Am Ende verkaufte sich die LP bis heute 43 Millionen mal. Jim Steinman blieb zeitlebens seinem bombastischen Musikstil treu, schrieb Songs für Bonnie Tyler und Celine Dion. Er tat sich aber vor allem immer wieder mit Meat Loaf zusammen, der die musikalischen Vorstellungen des Komponisten am besten umzusetzen verstand. Ihre Zusammenarbeit trug weitere Früchte: DEAD RINGER (1981), BAT OUT OF HELL: BACK INTO HELL (1993) und BRAVER THAN WE ARE (2016). Sein einziges Soloalbum, BAD FOR GOOD, erschien 1981.
