Meat Loaf – I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)

“I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” is a song composed and written by Jim Steinman, and recorded by Meat Loaf. The song was released in 1993 as the first single from the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. The last six verses feature a female vocalist who was credited only as “Mrs. Loud” in the album notes. She was later identified[when?] as Lorraine Crosby, from North East England. She does not, however, appear in the video, in which her vocals are lipsynched by Dana Patrick. Meat Loaf promoted the single with American vocalist Patti Russo performing the live female vocals.
