Isn’t amazing how many things remind us Dittoheads of Rush?
That was Lorraine Crosby, and it is kind of an interesting tale.

As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.
RIP
RIP
She did make great job. They sounded good together
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
It's damn near Shakespeare
He won't be sad.
The guy was WAY underrated. >>> Classically trined for Opera. And Steinman i think was the writer and Ellen Foley The female singer. I wore out 2 vinyl copies. Phil Risuto doing the play by play on “Paradise”
The woman did a good,job in the song too. Wonder what Janice Joplin woilda sounded like,doing that with him?>>>. That was Ellen Foley “what’s it gonna be boy?”
She had a pretty powerful, voice (which is why I wondered whay the song woi,d have sou dedicated like with Janice. She coild really belt out the lyrics- wonder if the song woilda benefitted from a deal more power from the female singer. Maybe not, maybe it woild have been too much)
Paradise by the Dashboard Light is an epic and common story.
Married high school sweetheart, will be 48 years and not because i had to, but I’m “prayin’ for the end of time.” Just sayin’.
Allen of dale, you aint been laid by no lady.
Meatloaf’s show under a small pavilion with about 200 people all for the price of a beer.
You win.
And of course, that classic line from Rocky Horror Picture show: “What’s for dinner?” “Meatloaf!”
🤣
Lorraine was credited as Ms. Loud on the Bat out of Hell II, Back Into Hell. She sang backup on several songs, but was remembered best for her duet in I'd Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That.
For the original Bat Out of Hell, Ellen Foley sang the vocals on the album, but didn't want to tour, so Karla DeVito stepped in for the tour. And she's the one most remember from the Bat Out of Hell album videos.
There are some documentaries and other films out there about his development of his “rock opera” style of performances that are great to watch.
