Check out Meat Loaf’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
I have seen only 1 Meatloaf movie, but it is a big favourite of mine; The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also enjoyed his music. Rest in peace
This is the second singer that has passed away this year that I saw in concert (Ronnie Spector was the first). I saw Meat Loaf in 1978/1979 at Wollman Rink in Central Park. Meat Loaf was very big in New York City at that time. Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad which peaked at 11 on Billboard and Paradise by the Dashboard Light which peaked at 39, both hit # 1 in New York on WXLO (99X).
Meat Loaf actually made a few of the Oracle of Bacon’s top 1000’s, peaking at # 782 in 2010. He is no longer on the list. These are the actors on the 2021 list.
