I'm pretty sure that's Ellen Foley. But she did some much more
interesting stuff than singing with Meatloaf (ick!). Check out
her solo records and her work with the Clash on _Sandinista_.

Yes, That is Ellen Foley ( who was also the female lead on Night Court
before Markie Post) on the Bat out of Hell record. But Karla DeVito sang
the part during Meatloafs tour for the album (and in most TV
appearances).
You might also want to check out Ellen Foley's fine back up work on Joe
Jackson's "Body and Soul" CD.

Either Bonny Tyler or the lead singer from Pandora's Box - meatloaf
wrote and produced a number of their songs & albums.

No, no, no. That's Jim Steinman.

Bonnie Tyler and MeatLoaf have never sung together. The lead singer for
Pandora's Box *is* Ellen Foley (at least one of them). MeatLoaf neither
wrote nor produced any of their songs nor their one album.

Beg to differ re Bonnie Tyler - I have a tape of the two of them
together - lost the sleeve in one or other move around the country.
I'll get back to you with exact details.
Oops - didn't know the name of the singer from Pandora's Box - thanks,
now I know it's Ellen Foley.

If you are talking about the "Heaven and Hell: The Best of Meat Loaf and Bonnie
Tyler" collection, it's a compilation of the pre-_Bat Out Of Hell II_ hit
singles from both of them. However, none of the songs have Meat Loaf *and*
Bonnie Tyler singing *together*.
I have the CD, with a listing of all the songs. Note: that's Todd Rundgren on
"Loving You's a Dirty Job (But Somebody's Gotta Do It)," though I agree that
Meat Loaf would have done a much better job.

No, Jim Steinman isn't a female singer :)

Hey Tony - thanks for enlightening all of us as to Jim's sex status
;^))
In response to my earlier posting I was about to admit to my mistake
of saying Meatloaf produced/wrote for Pandora's box as I found out
yesterday that the "mutual" factor between the two is of course Jim
Steinman.
And for those who are interested - he shall remain nameless - Bonnie
Tyler and Meatloaf *DID* bring out an album together entitled:
HEAVEN & HELL Columbia CD4736662
The fact still remains that although I have Bonnie singing "Paradise
by the dashboard light" with Meatloaf on this particular album, maybe
it was one of the other two ladies mentioned who might have sung on
BoOH - couldn't find it in the music store to check - will keep
looking.

Heaven and Hell, also released by Telstar (TDC 2361), is a compilation
album. Songs from some of Bonnie Tyler's albums and some of Meat Loaf's
albums were thrown together onto one disk. If you consider that singing
together, then I guess you're right. Bonnie and Meat Loaf, however, never
actually perform a song together. Bonnie duets with Rory Dodd and Todd
Rundgren in two of her songs on the album and Meat Loaf duets with Cher on
one of his songs. No Bonnie and Meat singing Paradise. Come to think of
it, no Paradise... Paradise isn't even on Heaven and Hell! Now I know
you're just trying to get to me ;-)
PS: MeatLoaf has a *very* low opinion of Tyler's work, hence their
avoidance of each other in projects in the past and likely the future.

I think the Ellen Foley who was the female singer on the studio
version is the same person who played Billie on NIGHT COURT.
