Marvin Lee Aday or Meat Loaf was born on September 27, 1947, in Dallas, Texas, to Wilma Artie (n?e Hukel), a school-teacher and member of the Vo-di-o-do Girls gospel trio, and Orvis Wesley Aday, a former cop who started the Griffin Grocery Company with his wife and a friend to market a homemade cough cure. His father was an alcoholic who would go on drinking binges for days at a time, which began after he was medically discharged from the United States Army during World War II after being injured by mortar shell pieces. Aday followed his mother in searching all of Dallas' bars for his father, and he frequently stayed with his grandma.

Aday founded his first band, Meat Loaf Soul, in Los Angeles, after a moniker given to him by his head coach because of his size. He was quickly approached with three recording offers, all of which he declined.

Meat Loaf then joined the cast of Hair in Los Angeles. Meat Loaf subsequently revealed that not being treated with respect in the music industry was his greatest life challenge. His treatment was likened to that of a "circus clown," according to him.
