It took the duo years to get a record company to purchase the album, but it was a success as soon as it was released. From there, he went on to write a steady string of hit songs, theme songs, and musicals, including “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, “Holding Out for a Hero”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, and the “Shrek 2” soundtrack. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012.
