While looking for some other stuff, I came across
this:

Ellen joined Meat Loaf and Todd Rundgren, Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson, Carly Simon and Sting and many others, at the Media Sound studios to sing on Lynn Goldsmith's "Will Powers - Dancing For Mental Health" album. Lynn Goldsmith is a well-known photographer who had this idea to record an album with musical friends, many of whom were photographers as well. A wild idea, and it worked! Ellen herself doesn't know what songs she sings on: "The sessions were very hectic, with everyone throwing ideas around, totally disorganised but fun. Maria Vidal also sang on the album". The album was released in the spring of 1983, to mixed reviews.

Then, not much later, I found the
album information, stating "Special thanks to the Will Powers Supporters who all performed on this album or appeared in our videos: Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Ellen Nieves, Ellen Foley, Ellen Shipley, Warren Beatty, Glen Close, Ian Hunter, Alannah Currie, Bashiri Johnson, Mary Beth Hurt, Maria Vidal Fernandez,
Meat Loaf, David Sanborn, Steve Stanley, Mark Hamill, John Shea, Michael Jackson."
Which, of course, led to
(if you're in a hurry: start at 0:50 or so) and
another video with a short cameo.
Does anyone here have any idea whether Meat also appeared on the record, or is he just in the video?
