I've just heard on the radio that the Fabulous Jim Steinman has died.
He was one of my favourite song writers and is responsible for some of the greatest songs written. The incredible Bat Out Of Hell album will always be a regular on my play-list as will Bonny Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart.

"His own album he released wasn't to bad either, think it was called "Bad for Good". Very similar to Bat out of hell and the Bonny Tyler album but that was his style- unique "
FFS not too bad not to !! |

Awww bless him Bat Out of Hell is one of my all time fave albums, every song is a total banger, the first time I heard it I was hooked completely.
RiP Jim 
And the lady thing I see is my heart still beating,
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell |

I have three film posters on my front room wall.
Jaws
The Warriors and
Streets of Fire
The soundtrack to streets of fire is amazing Ry Cooder, Jimmy lovine and Jim Steinman. The main reason I absolutely love the film and proudly display the poster.
Nowhere Fast and Tonight is what it means to be Young are two cracking songs that start and end the film.
RIP Jim, thanks for the songs.

I have to mention his work with The Sisters of Mercy – some of their best songs.
Another vote here for Streets of Fire, which is legitimately one of my favourite films, in part because of the incredible soundtrack. |

I will second that. His work with The Sisters OF Mercy is beyond iconic. As in Bat Out Of Hell of course. Meat Loaf was my 1st gig when I was 15.
RIP Jim
PS - Avoid Meat Loaf's massacring of the Sister's Steinman classic 'More' though at ALL costs! |

It won't take you long – he only worked with them on three songs: 'Dominion / Mother Russia', 'This Corrosion', and 'More'. |

 Dominion/ Mother Russia and This Corrosion (I even remember the video) are the two songs I knew of theirs.
Will have a listen to More |
