Our Overview.
Marvin Lee Aday: AKA Meat Loaf; is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He rocketed into rock n' roll mythology in 1977 with the release of Bat Out Of Hell —one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
The beefy singer's grandiose renditions of Jim Steinman's epic anthems of teenage angst, such as Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad and Paradise By The Dashboard Light, hit an adolescent nerve that sold millions.
With a background in musical theater—he appeared in stage versions of Hair and Rainbow—Meat Loaf actually became a pop cult figure in 1975 when he played Eddie in the midnight matinee classic, Rocky Horror Picture Show (audiences screamed "Don't eat the Meat Loaf" at screenings).
