meatloaf singer
Meat decided it was best for him to leave home, so in 1967 he quit college (where he was studying to be an accountant), and moved to L.A., where he formed “Meat Loaf Soul”, who later became “Popcorn Blizzard”, a group which was quite successful. [1]
The product of a family of gospel singers, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and formed a group known as both Meat Loaf Soul and Popcorn Blizzard. [2]
MEAT LOAF BACK IN THE STUDIO! [...] Meat Loaf is to receive a “classic song” award for his epic Bat Out Of Hell, it was announced. [3]
Meat’s adventures over the next couple of years included touring the States with the National Lampoon Road Show, playing the priest in “Rockabye Hamlet” (you guessed it… a rock version of Hamlet!) and singing on Ted Nugent’s album ‘Free for All’. [1]

After several years in relative obscurity, Meat Loaf and Steinman reunited in 1993 for Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, which continued the original’s story line and duplicated its thunderous sound. [2]
Eventually, manager David Sonenberg persuaded the fledgling Cleveland International corporation to play the “Bat Out Of Hell” tapes to Epic. [1]
He is noted for the Bat out of Hell album trilogy consisting of Bat Out of Hell, Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell and Bat out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose. [...] It was during the audition that Meat Loaf first met his future collaborator Jim Steinman. [4]
They notched up a minor American Hit: “What You See is What You Get” by Stoney and Meatloaf (sic) hit US:71 in 1971. [...] He then switched roles to appear in the off-Broadway musical, “More Than You Deserve!”, written by Jim Steinman, a precocious and inventive New Yorker, who’d been brought up in California, but had come back to get back to the Great White Way. [1]
Soon, Meat Loaf reteamed with Steinman for a tour with the National Lampoon Road Show, after which Steinman began composing a musical update of the Peter Pan story titled Never Land. [...] The band earned some renown through opening gigs in support of the Who, the Stooges, and Ted Nugent before Meat Loaf won a role in a West Coast production of the musical Hair. [2]
Meat Loaf is back in the saddle, recording songs for a new full-length album. [3]
