Sorry buddy, but Bonnie Tyler doesn’t sing in “Bat out of hell.”
On the album, Ellen Foley sings a duet with Meat Loaf in the song “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”.

i was surprised when i read the ubtube titel and thought…might be that this is here. actually i can’t find where i got it from. i just took that video for the better sound.

The album “Heaven & Hell” contains songs by Meat Loaf and songs by Bonnie Tyler, but there is no song in which the two sing together.:winking_face_with_tongue:

I’d like to pay tribute to an English drummer who is one of the first wild men in rock. His name is Vivian Martin Prince, better known as Viv Prince. He started out as a session musician in England in the first part of the 1960’s. He was a good drummer and soon became in demand on this scene. He was approached by a few young bands who wanted him as their drummer, among them The Kinks, but he ended up joining The Pretty Things, one of the most underappreciated bands from the British Blues Boom.

Viv Prince was one of a kind. It is said that he inspired Keith Moon, both for drumming and lifestyle. And even though The Pretty Things were one of the wildest bands on the scene back then, he got to be too much even for them. After an incident on a tour in New Zeeland, he was thrown off the plane taking the band back home. When Viv Prince eventually made it back to England on his own, he was fired from The Pretty Things soon aftewards due to his unreliability.

Viv Prince’s tenure as drummer in Pretty Things didn’t last long. He only plays on their first two albums (both 1965), and he hasn’t done anything significant in music since then. Still this has been enough to secure him a cult like status in rock history. After The Pretty Things he he helped out bands on concerts, among others The Who and Hawkwind. Jeff Beck apparently considered Viv Prince as the drummer in his band at one point. And he’s also been the drummer in quite a few more or less local bands no one’s heard about, not even me.

Viv Prince passed away at the beginning of this week at the age of 84. Which is a rather impressive age for a man who according to legend once joined the Hell’s Angels, only to be expelled due to bad behviour. Some of the stories about Viv Prince may be myhths and legends. Still, he was actually a pretty skilled drummer. Check him out on drums in one of The Pretty Things best known songs. Thank you for the music Viv, may you be remembered :wine_glass:

Today I’d like to celebrate the memory of one of the true myths and legends in modern popular music, because today it is 102 years since the American singer and songwriter Hank Williams was born. He is nothing less than one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Leonard Cohen once said that Hank Williams was a hundred floors above him in the Tower of Song. Now that may be up for debate. Still, Hank Williams wrote and sang dozens upon dozens of songs which have become staples in the history of country music, as well as in blues and rock. He has inspired many artists, and his songs have been covered numerous times, by artists as diverse as Elvis Presly, The Carpenters, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and…Social Distortion.

Hank Williams career was short. It only lasted from January 1947 to January 1953. He had a pretty rough life, with heavy use of alkohol and other substances. Sadly his life ended in the back seat of a Cadilac on the 1st of January 1953. He was only 29 years old and was on his way to his next concert. So here’s a few songs to the memory of an iconic figure in music :beer_mug:

Hank Williams - Move It On Over

Hank Williams - Lost Highway

Leonard Cohen - Tower of Song
