Meat Loaf

Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022), better known as Meat Loaf, was an American singer and actor. He was noted for his powerful, wide-ranging voice and theatrical live shows. His Bat Out of Hell trilogy—Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose—has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide. The first album stayed on the charts for over nine years and more than four decades after its release still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually, making it one of the best-selling albums in history.
==Links to Peel==
Peel wasn't a fan of Meat Loaf's work, but his colleague, Paul Gambaccini, was a bit more keen and played his track, 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light ', whilst sitting in for Peel on 7th September 1978. Meat Loaf's music was also played on Top Of The Pops couple of times, whilst Peel was hosting it and his song, Bat Out Of Hell, was voted in the Music Of The Millennium, which JP and Jo Whiley were presenting in 1998.
