Jim Steinman, the colourful composer behind hits like Bat Out Of Hell and Total Eclipse Of The Heart, has died at the age of 73.
His brother Bill told the Associated Press that the songwriter and producer had died of kidney failure on Monday after being ill for some time.
I was in high-school. Bat Out Of Hell was the best album ever. We probably listened to it about 50 times during a drunken all weekend party when my friends folks were out of town. Yea on reflection that is a little embarrassing, but it still brings a smile.
