The official video for this 2006 hit! Written by Jim Steinman around 1988 this song was originally performed by Pandora's Box, an all-girl group set up by Jim in late 1988. Celine Dion would famously cover the song in 1996 and Meat Loaf would record it for his 2006 Bat Out Of Hell III album. Celine and Marion Raven perform it to this day but Meat dropped it from the set after 2007.

This is (most) of what I can get away with posting from the bootleg compilation I made, entitled Before The Bat, 1968-1977, which catalogues the recorded career of Meat Loaf prior to the release of the Bat Out Of Hell album in October 1977. It features original mixes of material from the period, as well as subsequent officially released remixes and alternate mixes, along with a few bonus tracks including live material and a couple remixes of my own. Enjoy, you can download this full package on my new website, it contains over 200 minutes of Meat Loaf goodness, and is less compressed than on here, available in FLAC and MP3. Note: the date before each title reflects the original year of recording of all material.
