Who sings the female part in the song 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' by Meatloaf? I heard it was Markie Post of 'Night Court'. Is this true?

No - it was Ellen Foley When the 'Bat Out Of Hell' album became a huge hit in 1977, Meatloaf went on tour but replaced Ellen Foley with Karla DeVito - good, but not as good as Foley I still have the original 1977 vinyl album...good stuff. May 19 02, 6:10 PM

Right show, wrong actress. Before Markie Post joined the cast, the role of the sassy blond public defender was played by Ellen Foley, who was the female singer in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". Ellen Foley (born 1951, St. Louis, Missouri) is an American singer and actress whose range of talent and experience has spanned edgy rock, mainstream pop, standard Broadway, sitcom television, and Hollywood. She has released three albums on her own, but she is best known for her collaborative work with Meat Loaf. Her first big break was singing the duet with Meat Loaf on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" from the 1977 album Bat out of Hell. Although Karla DeVito is featured on the video, she is miming to Foley's vocals. Her best known television acting role is the role of Billie Young on Night Court for one season, after which she was replaced by Markie Post. She had small but memorable parts in Miloš Forman's 1979 film adaptation of the stage musical Hair, as well as the films Cocktail, Fatal Attraction and Married to the Mob. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Foley [Added text and reference link - McG] Oct 04 07, 9:44 PM
