I miss him a great deal already, Bill Steinman said by phone Tuesday.
Jim Steinman was born on Nov. 1, 1947, in New York City. He got his start in musical theater and was known for writing and producing epic, operatic rock songs and power ballads throughout his prolific career.
Steinman was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012 and won album of the year at the 1997 Grammy Awards for producing songs on Celine Dions Falling Into You, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last month and featured the Steinman-penned power ballad Its All Coming Back to Me Now.
