Episode description
Meat Loaf, a 350-pound Texan possessing an operatic voice both powerful and agile, was the Christian and Jim Steinman, a Jewish, leather-clad composer from New York with a sense of humor few in rock or theater ever have, was Cyrano. Find out how the two found each other and created one of the best selling albums of all time (and meeting much resistance along the way) in this episode. The producer, Todd Rundgren, recognized almost immediately that this was exceptional material and assembled a team of some of the best side musicians in rock to make this fun, gorgeous, Broadway-esque album that has stood the test of time.
