Peaking at #1 in 1983, Bonnie Tyler is lucky she was offered "Total Eclipse of the Heart," as it was first presented to which of writer Jim Steinman's clients for the album Midnight at the Lost and Found?

Like many of the songs Steinman wrote for Meat Loaf, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was orchestral and had a running time of over 6 minutes, perfect for Meat Loaf. When he offered the song to the singer, he turned it down because his label wanted him to write his own songs. The song ended up spending 4 weeks at number one.
