RIP Meat Loaf. Thank you for the many memories from the 70's and 80's as a teenager, singing my guts out along with you to this legendary song, Paradise By The Dashboard Light. 🙏❤️
Definitely one of my favorite "live TV" duets of all time. Not sure what's more entertaining - their performance or the fact that they are performing on "Donny and Marie" 🙂
This song is the "reason" our first daughter was born. We found our answer to the questions (Married now 38 years...) Oh so long ago and great memories. RIP Meatloaf. Thanks for joining to all the parties when we where young. ❤️
This song was playing my first time. We were parking by the lake, seriously, and so much in love. This will always be the most important song of my life❤
What a talent…..so sad you left us so early. Paradise by the dashboard light is one of my favorite all time songs and one of the greatest rock songs ever written. My wife was in a band for a little while and she sang a pretty good version of this classic. So many memories. RIP big man.
I loved Meat Loaf's music, especially his Bat Out of Hell Album. And I often play his music on RU-vid. My pain is different from Meat Loaf's but I understand, I lived in pain for 70 years. Pain from cerebral palsy and a broken neck from a fall off my crutches. Meat Loaf made music, I wrote a book, with a pointer stick. Again, I understand his love and passion with music. Just as I do in publishing my book, "Tie My Shoes." Pain, may not kill us, but it sure wears us down. We must keep on trying and performing as Meat Loaf did. R.I.P and God bless.
So glad RU-vid exists to bring us these amazing, rare performances we missed while at work! From the few D&M shows I've seen here they are so fun and entertaining.
But Karla wasn't singing. She was lip syncing to Ellen Foley's lyrics. I'll admit that I liked the original better but it was before Meat strained his voice by giving his everything too many times a week.
It doesnt matter how you sound now Meatloaf, You had one of the biggest and best albums of all time. Plus now Bat out of hell is a musical with Andrew Polec at the helm as Meatloaf I only wish it comes to Australia.
Thank Todd / God for the production, mixing and engineering, arranging of the music, background vocals, percussion, some keyboard parts, guitar including the creation of the famed motorcycle guitar sound on the title track bat out of hell. Imagine being able to witness Bat out of hell performed with Todd Rundgren, Jim Steinem, meatloaf, and Karla DeVito?
Wow! What a performance by Marie , LOVE the expressions shows total commitment to the song...ABSOLUTELY 100%. (I obviously Don't Know my knee from my elbow) just realised this is NOT Marie Osmond.... PLEASE FORGIVE ME to the lady singing with him, I TRULY wish I knew who you were.....you REALLY REALLY do this song PROUD ❤
Patti Russo does this song great! As far as I know Meat Loaf has done the song in concert acted by Karla Devito to Ellen Fogle's vocals off the album. From 1993-2013Patricia(Patti)Russo sang the song on stage with Meat Loaf. In 2014-2016 MS. Aspen Miller performed the song in concerts. 2016-present MS. Ciab Coey has performed in concerts with Meat Loaf. Of course, all these female singers with the exception of MS. Karla Devito also sang duets with Meat Loaf of "Dead Ringer for Love" and "I Would do Anything for Love" as well as other songs that Meat Loaf didn't originally record but included in some of his concerts through the years. Thanks to RU-vid and personal experience I have had a chance to see Meat Loaf perform with each of the ladies I mentioned above and in my opinion MS. Russo is the best. MS. Miller and MS. Coey do a good job but in my opinion I think that MS. Is the best!!
@@beckyforcier1020 3 years and the death of the actual singer later here is the answer ...The tour schedule suggested was brutal and the pay was shit so she declined before there was any promotional material made. So they called Karla DeVito ...what were her connections i do not know .(‿ˠ‿)
George Williams Fairly accurate assessment, other than the "acted to Fogle's lyrics" part. Ms Devito sang her own parts in concert..it was synced/acted for the music video (as were everyone else's performances), but she actually performed her own singing in concert.
The song appeared on a BBC TV programme ("The Old Grey Whistle Test"), about the time "Bat out of Hell" was released. Absolutely stunning. Maybe the above was the first US screening?
I can't help but be reminded of what an image this song brings to my mind! I want to thank all of the young ladies that helped me thru it! Lol thanks to: Debbie, Marsha, Beth, Mary Lucy, Linda, Brenda, Carl and Charlene plus a cast of hundreds all now gone but not forgotten.
Not sure this is the first time this song was performed on television. Album came out in '77 (?), this was '98. I saw him on tv in college in late 70's and I've never watched a single episode of Donnie & Marie.
you realize this was the DONNY & MARIE show... back when there was only 4 stations and TV was ''live'' right??? back in the HEE HAW days... old times... 80s or wutever
