      I was going to say the same, too. Another point: not sure if either Pat or hubby was involved, but the production work on her albums was really strong. The producer knew exactly how to showcase her vocals and make the songs pop.

    Pat, at the height of her fame, "dropped out" to raise her kids as a "stay at home mom" while her husband continued his career as one of the most highly sought studio musicians of the day. As she once told the story, her kids were watching music videos on TV when they called to her saying, "Hey, mom. This woman looks just like you." She informed them that the woman they were watching was indeed their mother. They laughed and said something like "Oh, Mom. That's Pat Benatar." At that moment, she realized that her own kids had no idea who she is. She immediately called her husband and said, "We're going on tour." They are still touring today. And her kids, at least one of which is performing with them, definitely know who their mom is. We saw them about a year ago. They still have it.

    Pat Benatar's first concert in Houston was a cold rainy night Dec 17th, 1979. Nobody showed up except for about 10 people that knew the first band. Her and the band came on stage and said that since we paid for the show that they were going to give us one, and boy did they. After the show me and her and the bass player ended up playing pinball for a couple of hours talking about music and bands mostly. She was super friendly no ego at all. She was not well known at that time and there was no PR about her show. They came back through a couple of months later to a sold-out show. Those were good times back then.

It has a scene that speaks to it where a bunch of high school girls are dressed like her. She was the shit back then. She was a huge crush! The music was REAL. No autotune or digitized BS. Pat's stage presence is totally mesmerizing. She can just stand there, give you her looks and attitude and you are sucked into her world.

      I think she suffered from the packaging & over saturation of the era. By the time you heard each promoted song on the radio, & video on TV, for the 57775432th time, started saying, “enough, already!”

    I saw her in 2004 in Toledo - live and she is the real deal live, but I already knew that. She's a trained opera singer and has an incredible range. I started listening to her when I was only 11 years old, and while I became a jazz singer, I used her songs to try and broaden my range - those super high notes!!!!!! Glad you love her - she's a one-of-a-kind talent.

    Fantastic choice. This brings back my golden years. Mid-20s, out of school, professional job, lots of great workmates, good good times in the 80s. No decade like it. And this... THIS... is what it was all about. Thank you, thank you Polo! This life is all about validation, and you give it to us. Such a petite thing, but a BIG voice. And might I say, the most spectacular bootie in all of rock, hands down. ;-) (BTW, Neil Geraldo, lead guitarist... married to Pat. What a couple.)

    I was a junior in high-school when her first album came out and all I can say is they couldn't keep the record in stock.
    A friend saw her in concert in 1981 and said "I had no idea a voice like that could come from someone so petite."
    Her first four albums are just fire.
    Some good follow up songs, Precious Time, I'm Gonna Follow You, Hell Is For Children, Fired Up, Invincible, Heartbreaker, and You'd Better Run.
    She's been married to the lead guitarist Neil Geraldo for 40+ years.

    Bena-TAR and she is the ultimate Rock Goddess! She refused to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame unless her husband, lead guitarist/writing partner, Neil Giraldo, was inducted right along side her because they were a team and she knows her career wouldn't have been as successful if he hadn't come into her life when he did. They were finally both inducted two years ago!
    Fire and Ice, Hell is for Children, Heartbreaker, You'd Better Run, We Live For Love, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Treat Me Right, Looking for a Stranger, In the Heat of the Night and I'm Gonna Follow You are some other of her great songs but probably her biggest hit was Love is a Battlefield. It was all over the radio back in the day.
