    Great version of a great song. The lady can sing and should have been a far bigger star than she was.

    beautiful version.
    every musical snob ive ever known would scoff at the 'bat out of hell'album....they couldnt have even listened to it. Because it's amazing, I think it's one of the greatest albums ever.

      Meatloaf was very lucky to have had Steinman write for him and to have had a very patient Rundgren produce him to come up with what is a great album. It was a year in the making because Meatloaf is not a good singer despite having had a strong voice.

      Of course you mean Carré , 1980 it was . I rather would have seen her in Paradiso , to be honest ; too theatrical for me Carré is , and of course you have to sit all the time , can't move around like in Paradiso and get beer . But that's all personal preference , and glad to have seen her , good concert it was for sure....

    • @dennispicone6801
      @dennispicone6801 9 місяців тому

      Don't worry. Her version is just as good as Meat Loafs. Helped Meat Loaf later, as his voice waned.

    • @dennispicone6801
      @dennispicone6801 9 місяців тому

      Personally I thought her version was better. She sang it first, so Meatloaf covered Ellen, and not vice versa as some people think. The main difference is Ellen's voice was still about the same up to 30 odd or 40 years later. The same can't be said for poor old Meatloaf, who was a dynamic performer live when he was young, but waned badly as he aged.

    • @gustaaf1892
      @gustaaf1892 2 роки тому

      Meatloaf had trouble even back when Bat of Hell was made. That's why it took about a year to make/produce that album. A lot of it was down to Steinman and Rundgren's patience and efforts. In live concerts he needed a strong female counter singer and a lot of backup singers to hide his shortcomings as a singer.
