He was a delightful and incredibly talented, unique guy. He had a band in his youth called The Clitoris That Thought It Was A Puppy!!!! Such a shame he suffered bad health the last dozen years of his life, while still managing to get the Bat musical created. RIP.
@@ketevansazandrishvili5096 "Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs", he wrote in Rock n Roll Dreams Come Through. That should be Jim's epitaph. He was always so genuine. Decades after I wrote about his work, when the Bat musical hit London he had his website lady arrange free tickets in the best seats. Not too many people in the music business like that.
@@Mistersandyrobertson nice to hear such a good thing about Jim’s generosity. I used to be a caregiver for Jim for a short time, couple of months earlier before he passed away 💔😪
@@ketevansazandrishvili5096 I remember Jacqueline who does the site telling me that friends offered help but that he didn't want to burden them and hired caregivers. Thanks for doing that job. My ex gf is a support worker for autistic people with huge health issues and I know it's hard work.
@@ketevansazandrishvili5096 I appreciate you can't go into detail, but it sounds like you're saying things weren't perfect because there wasn't someone who knew him in charge? I know that's the case sometimes in care situations. My own health isn't great and I have no close family so I worry about ending life one day in the care of folks who may have little empathy for me. Getting old is no picnic.
It is called A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste, written by Jim and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Jim Steinman did not write it for Meat Loaf, it was written for an aborted vampire musical before he gave it to Bonnie Tyler.
He originally told Meat Loaf they would use the song he is getting this award for on Bat III, to crank out another number one hit for them after their infamous reunion with "I'd Do Anything For Love." I can't help but feel Jim is sort of getting the last laugh here in his sordid relationship with Meat. You hear Meat Loaf in the background recording a much lesser song as a throw on for a greatest hits album, while Jim is being awarded for the song that should have been Meat Loaf's next great hit. LOL the irony is too much!
I wish there was more jim steinman interviews online , musical genius
Jim was a warm and wonderful person.
Such a talented individual. He is totally amazing. Totally blessed us with his creativity in music. Thank you Jim Steinman.
Rip actually
@@felipenocedal3948 'Rip' yourself.
Jim essentially was a very nice and very funny nerd.
genius you wanted to say
Jim Steinman seems like a cool guy. So talented! :)
He's incredibly talented, but also equally awesome and genuine.
Great speech Jimmy! We all have a kid from Wisconsin inside, thanks for the music.
Thank you Jim for giving me a good memory in childhood.. Rip
It's his version of "A Kiss Is a Terrible Thing to Waste." You can hear part of it at the beginning of the video.
Hidden gem on paradise by the dashboard light , the trumpet addition to the end of second verse
thats funny because i spent the last few nights lying in bed with headphones on, listening to his music.
At his best Jim Steinman can provide enough delicious ham at one time to feed a family of four for an entire week.
Jim, I love you.
R.I.P
A man of many words.....
Love the humor seems like a top bloke.
Great tunes too.
RIP

Jim steinman my mate I love him
A pretty good award acceptance with no preparation.
@steinmanloaf A wonderfull musician indeed. He is just wonderfull
Love the Iovine impersonation ! ....I used to rep Charlie Calello and Keith Olsen and you should hear some of their Iovine & Shelly stories !
Oh, can’t you take a stab at it? We’d love to hear any version of those stories, you know. As close to being that ‘fly on the wall’ as we’d ever get.
How can you tell he's a great songwriter?
He's a good storyteller
He was mentioned briefly as an author for local one-hit-wonders😂
RIP
WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN!! GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU SIR.
