Must be, now that you mention it sound very like Meatloaf...
But unfortunately no credits to him...
here...
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a power ballad written, composed, and produced by Jim Steinman. It was originally performed by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler in 1983. It has been covered several times, and written (with Michael Kunze) for the musical Tanz der Vampire. Westlife will feature the song on their next album.
Charts
It is probably Steinman's most successful commercial composition to date and Bonnie Tyler's most successful song, going to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and number one in Canada, Australia and the UK singles chart. At its peak, it sold 60,000 copies per day, and approximately 5-6 million copies in total, and was number one throughout (almost) the entire world charts according to Bonnie Tyler's greatest hits manual. It is therefore widely considered not just a hit, but a "smash hit".
Tyler's career reached new heights with this release and put her in the history books as the only Welsh artist to hit the number-one slot in the UK and the U.S Billboard magazine charts.

No, they worked extremely well together but it was I believe Rory Dodd,
Total Eclipse of the Heart" is vintage Steinman, loaded with imagery and metaphors and tons of emotion and overpowering backgrounds. Rory Dodd, who has sung backups on lots of Meat, is the famous voice behind the "Turn around, bright eyes" line.

no, it's Jim Steinman, Meatloaf's collaborator. He wrote and performed on the song.

I know he does a Celine Dion song on the new album, so maybe.
