Ellen Foley

Ellen Foley earns my respect as a true multi-hyphenate who never settled into a single lane. Most people know her through Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, that 14-times-platinum monster of a record, but reducing her to a single collaboration undersells a long, durable career. She built a life across Broadway stages, a memorable Night Court run, and five solo albums of her own. I'm drawn to performers who keep showing up in different rooms decades apart, refusing to be a one-note footnote. Her voice carries a real sense of story, and that staying power is what I find most admirable.
