@60sPsychJukebox The Bat Out Of Hell album was his masterpiece
@60sPsychJukebox Can’t miss a Jim Steinam tune. I did forget about Read em and weep. I heard it the other day on an old Casey Kasem countdown. I always loved that song. Now it’s so obvious! Steinam signature sound all the way around. He was a powerful writer.
@60sPsychJukebox @davesrecordschi I just did a workshop with a guy who worked with him on Broadway; said he’d go to a restaurant, toss the menu aside, and just order one of everything. It would be off-brand to do anything else!
