| Marvin Lee Aday, nicknamed "Meat Loaf" by his football coach, made his way to LA and formed a band called Meat Loaf Soul, after some success he joined the touring cast of the musical, Hair, this in turn led to a part in the Jim Steinman penned More Than You Deserve. His cult fandom was assured after taking roles in The Rocky Horror Show (on stage and subsequent film). Finally the long gestating collaboration with Jim Steinman became Bat Out of Hell in 1977. |
