Pat Benatar looks amazing. She's gorgeous with the gray hair, and Neil too. As an old timer who grew up listening to her as a teenager, it was so heartening to watch this interview. The two of them are a fantastic couple
She was a trained opera singer in theater school where she owned those high octave notes in her vocal career. She took her voice to another level. Most overlooked and underrated female artist that women should model in today's music industry
As a trained opera singer who grew up on her music. My siblings always let me know that she had studied classical voice. Why her voice has continued to be sooo strong. HER CLASSICAL TRAINING. She is such an inspiration.
@@everready19373 Benatar was overlooked and underrated in what was a dominated man's business. The couple should have been recognized decades ago in Rock N'Roll Hall of Fame. Very deserving and long past due. What a voice and amazing songs. Love her still.
I had the wonderful opportunity to know her personally in Richmond during her bank teller days. She sang with a group called Coxons Army in a club named Sam Miller’s in Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip. I was a college student at VCU. A group of us saw her 6 nights a week followed by going out to breakfast. She was a real delight. I have heard that she remembers us. I remember so well those times and her singing Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show. It was one of the most fun times in my life. I always knew she would be successful
Lovely recollection. Greetings from a UK fan of Pat Benatar since the mid eighties. I am also a fan of John Waite who is due to work with Neil Giraldo on new material and produced Waite's first solo album Ignition in 1982. 'Change' was on heavy rotation on MTV when it began.
It actually diminishes The credibility of the Hall of Fame, not them! It must be political. I'd love to know the reason! It's as if Merrill Streep hadn't won an academy award by now!
Even in her older years, she is absolutely GORGEOUS! She is KILLING IT with that grey blunt bob! One of my favorite voices in music! She's an absolute POWERHOUSE! ❤️❤️❤️
Together, they gave those of us who came of age in the late 70s the words that would lead to the empowerment we have passed down to our daughters and the understanding that we have passed down to our sons.
“ why’s that she’s not on the RNRHOF??” because she’s no one’s puppet , she doesn’t need a decrepit magazine and their minions to acknowledge what WE already know, she is a legit RNR Icon!!! Keep on rocking Pat and Neil!!!
What's so compelling & ironic about her attitude considering her accomplishments, talent, & absolute right to have been inducted long ago .....is so laughingly on display RIGHT NOW with the current inductees.... specifically Todd Rundgren's refusal to show up or acknowledge his induction..... uhrah Todd good for you.... What a disappointment to see Paul induct ff & DC induct jz ..... best part was video of Todd "refusing to serve if elected" from 2017 Berkeley commencement speech...
Enjoyed on HBO, but yeh, a bit mainstream. The young people Do need introductions to the creative golden rock era. SXSW and ACL helps musicians monetize and navigate so much to know now! ☘️🎹Faith & Perseverance inspired by ROCKESS BENETAR this holiday season🎄🎅🌍☮️
Big Congratulations to Pat and Neil. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally got it right. I am pleased all my fan votes were recognized this time. Can't wait to see the ceremony. It's a great group this year.
Pat Benatar has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard in concert and her range was amazing. To see how much love they have for each other is truly inspiring and amazing
My first ever concert was Pat Benetar with my brother who has now passed away. First beer spilled on me. I think I was 15. I will always love her! I’m 53 now. Great memories! Miss my big brother.
Special memories, we could feel the love all over Lady Benetar's Strong Stage. Who knew family guitarist and writer? Maybe a poetic lyric with your flare would help accompany the angels with your dear brother! Hanging an ornament for our music memories for ya now! Peaceful joys this holiday season for ALL Pat's fans all over the world 🌎💒🕎🎄
Their story is simply incredible and ultra-rare . . . and they're *still* together. Phenomenal. Both were great looking and are aging gracefully-together.
I was obsessed with this woman’s music since 78 and 79, it’s hard to describe how much of part of life these songs has the earmark times in our life that we’re good and bad….what a great couple great music thank God I was a teenager in the 80s.
Hey people! What they both did before doesn't matter! We all have done mistakes and aren't flawless! In a world of increasing division and hatred, it's always nice to see there are people out there that still are believing in and taking love to another level!
Pat Benatar was a badass female rocker back in the 80’s and she still is today. She doesn’t need a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on her resume. She’s still so badass that she can rock natural gray hair color too and still look fabulous! You go girl - you and you’re awesome hubby have my respect! 🤘🏻❤️
And That's Bloody Truth!! I Have Loved Their Music Since I Was In My Teens Now I Am In My Late 50's . Their Music Is Still Relevant, and I Still Love The Music.👍👍💜💜
What a great couple. My buddy, a concierge in Boston, became friends with them after staying at his hotel. He told me how down to earth, friendly, and genuinely nice people they are. It's always great to see a couple go the distance... 👍
@Samuel M. I have seen plenty of ladies my age and younger that are rocking their natural gray locks and I have to tell you I am never sure of the age. Of course relatively speaking, each individual has their own perception of what aging gracefully looks like. Everyone's visual perception of anything is a subjective perception. The matter of how old a personal actually looks versus how old they actually ARE is also around the same subject matter. So if she happened to be 76y/o vs 67y/o then tell me whose opinion of her is to be accepted as aging gracefully just because her hair color is gray. Unless people are solely going on the amount of Aging in relation to their facial creases, rumples and grooves in their skin.
As a child of the 80s she seemed so powerful. I've always loved her music. And what an inspiration, not an ounce of plastic in her face. She is aging beautifully.
Pat literally and lyrically helped me get through some awful, tumultuous teenage years back in the early 80’s. I would pop her vinyl album onto my turntable, put the headphones on, and crank up the volume to disappear into another realm for a while. My late husband and I saw them live in Ft Wayne, IN years ago and it was magical for me! Keep the music coming, Pat & Neil !!
Of course, I remembered all her hits of the 80s, but time went on and I forgot about her and her hits. But after watching this clip, it is good to know that she and her husband are doing just fine and are down to earth people! I like them!
And why wouldn’t you be able to stand up for yourself?! Let me guess….because you’re a weak minded person who needs to be told their something instead of just being it…bs victim mentality
I was in fifth grade when my friend put "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" on her record player. Pat Benatar is one of the voices of my youth. She epitomizes what rock is.
Pat and Neil comforted, healed, revitalized and saved me with their music in ways that I can never express. Thank you for being you and for creating such incredible music.
I remembered this MTV fact about Pat Benatar and was about to post it from Wikipedia but saw you already did! Truly helped launch their career into orbit!
This is a GREAT bar trivia question. “What was the first song ever played on MTV?” Everyone: “Video Killed the Radio Star.” “What was second?” *silence* Neil was the first guitarist shown on MTV!
@@efren7592 Yes, All those other Rock bands and artist they could have picked, Oueen, Kiss, etc. but they chose Pat❤️. Rod Stewart followed her at #3. That says alot. Pat RULES.
She’s still the best and I still love her music this day. My sister and I grew up on every song she sang. Doesn’t matter if she’s not in that silly Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She’s still the boss and her music made us feel like we were invincible.
Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo are one UNSTOPPABLE DUO !!! Their music is a road map to my teen age years and still to now in my 50’s !! She is so deserving of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Shame on those who haven’t put her in!! She will always be in my personal hall of fame forever !! 🤘🤘💋
A great couple of rockers!! I get to see them again soon on July 15th in Toledo Ohio. My 5th time seeing them live!! How many grandparents can boast they are still rocking and rolling onstage so many years after they began? Congratulations Pat and Neil on 40 plus years together!!
They're so cute together on stage too. He always refers to her as her full name "Patricia" which I thought was so charming because she's this badass rocker but she softens it for him
@Baby Hunn Saw her two years ago in Folsom and she sounded just as good as she did when I saw her about 35 years ago in LA. You’ll be her age some day and see if you can still do or look the way you did 35 years ago. You’re just a negative person
Yes, amazing that they have the motor and stamina to perform at their age. I'm 10 years younger. When I thought about attending their show recently, I realized that I didn't really have the stamina to sit through a 2+ hour rock performance.😂
Neil is one of the most underrated guitarists of the era. His licks are inimitable, his contributions to the instrument and to rock are innumerable. He wasn’t JUST Pat’s guitarist, he also contributed to a bunch of other artists including the guitar on Rick Springfield’s cover of Sammy Hagar’s, I’ve Done Everything for You, that resulted in a hit.
I am completely offended that Pat and Neil are not in the rock and roll hall of fame. They are a staple to rock n roll. Thank you for your contribution to music. Love and blessings ❤
I never knew anything about her personal life, but after hearing this, I now realize why I really like this woman. LOVED her music in the day, such a strong beautiful voice. She looks awesome, and why not, she's not like many of the others who burned themselves out, then make excuses for what they became. Nice looking couple too. I'd def want to see this play, with that music, how can it go wrong, the music itself would give people the thrill they were going for.
I love Pat! The 80s were the best times of my life and every time I hear one of her songs..... those wonderful memories come rushing back!! Thank you Pat !!
WoW! A solid interview for a wonderful couple! My first ever live concert was Pat, Neil and band performing at the old Carolina Coliseum, Columbia, SC in 1982 on the "Get Nervous" tour. I'm beyond thrilled that they have been married life partners so long. Bless this couple for many, many years of fine rock music!
Pat Benatar was one of the best female pioneers in the music industry in the late '70's and 80's. She inspired so many women and wow! how she rocked! She has a great voice, great on-stage presence and a talented and loyal husband beside her. 40 years together and that's inspiring too. I wish her luck on her new Broadway venture. I have a feeling she'll come out on top. You can't help but love her!
I got to see them live twice in 2019. One show, they did just a duo, talking through their history and songs, and it was amazing. The other, they came with a band. Pat has taken care of her instrument (voice) and sounds like an angel, still. Neil is still high energy and, well, perfect. If you get a chance to see them live, go. Worth every penny!
Her version of Wuthering Heights gives me chills but can only listen to it once in awhile because I get such an ear worm I can’t even sleep”Heathcliff it’s me I’m Cathy I’ve come home let me in your window”
@@meandmymonkey5137 She and maybe fifteen others people owned the '80s radio rock genre. I'm not sure what you are considering mediocre. You may not like her, but her career is a matter of of record. It happened.
I love her music! I've been listening to her music since I was teen in the 80's. She is an original one of a kind, just like Bowie, Prince, and more. She should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago! Mic drop!
Wow what an amazing love story. And as a guitar player I always love the way Neil Giraldo plays guitar. I feel like him changing keys to a higher register for her voice was a benchmark moment. Bravo maestro. Love you both.
Two greats. No one can deny Pat's talent and stage presence and Neil is a guitar great that really never gets the credit he is due. He is up there with Neal Schon, James Young and Jimmy Page.
When so many 80s songs were “please love me, I’ll die without you…” Pat Benatar was a force with powerful “kick down the door” lyrics and arrangements. I love that she didn’t accept casting couch bs or even “fix” her teeth to conform to any industry standards or further her career. Still very refreshing 40 years on. Nice couple - power couple really.
And yet, those two characters are intended to demonstrate the opposite of a great couple. They're children, and the responsible adults are too wrapped up in petty, violent feuding to notice what's happening. That's why it's a tragedy.
There was no better influence in my life than knowing they sang harmony in life and music. They are still doing the same as i am turning 62. Bravo to you both
Fantastic singers/songwriters/musicians. The security in their partnership & marriage is Amazing, Inspiring & Beautiful!!! I love these two together.❤❤
Saw her in concert about 7 years ago, so this is 25 years past her prime of the 80’s. Honestly, one of the best concerts I’ve experienced, she absolutely rocked. ….I found new respect for her talent after that concert. Go Patty Mae!
They are truly an amazing and kind couple who are very attentive to their fans. I had the privilege of meeting them in person and I will never forget that evening. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to and topped off with getting to meet them. My life is good.
Love both of them. She's an icon of rock music. He's certainly the producer that helped her along the way. Apart they would be successful. Together they are historically important musical artists.
The 2 most powerful and emotive female voices in Rock are Ann Wilson and this incredible woman. I LOVE the first 3 Benetar albums and they never get old. Neil’s guitar style is 1 of the most unique, expressive and impassioned ever. What an awesome gift to the world, their creative work! Gonna look for a bottle of that Three Chords Bourbon.
I love seein her today. She still has that look in her eyes she had in the 80s. Glad they’re still 2gether and they’re in the right frame of mind and most of all they seem happy.
Pat and Neil are truly two of the greatest contributors to the rock and roll era. Their videos on MTV were some of my favorites. Thanks for this update on an amazing love story.
Pat Benatar should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years ago which to me is a disgrace. But that's ok because in my opinion this lady is one of the best female rockers of all time
the told they were going to induct her (and her only) but she told them that would never accept unless her husband goes in with her.... they want her only (and rightfully so)...

The R&R hall of fame is a joke, looks at some of the names in and some that aren't. They should totally blow them off when they are inducted.
Once again, why is it a "joke"? Political, incompetence?
Exactly! The Hall is invalid.

@Baby Hunn and you are, who??????? Thought so, nobody! 👍🤣😂
@Baby Hunn Saw her two years ago in Folsom and she sounded just as good as she did when I saw her about 35 years ago in LA. You’ll be her age some day and see if you can still do or look the way you did 35 years ago. You’re just a negative person
@Baby Hunn Kate Bush? 1 hit wonder? lol
Yes, amazing that they have the motor and stamina to perform at their age. I'm 10 years younger. When I thought about attending their show recently, I realized that I didn't really have the stamina to sit through a 2+ hour rock performance.😂
Took care of themselves ? Maybe, more like a excellent cosmetic surgery
Pat and Neil are a Powerhouse. I was in high school when I first heard their music and love it ever since.

@@schumi9xwdc Same here.
She was the first concert I ever went to...she sounded just like her records live. The best female rocker of all time.
One of the Greatest Voices of Rock n Roll. Wonderful that their LOVE & Respect for each other continues to Shine!
Neil is one of the most underrated guitarists of the era. His licks are inimitable, his contributions to the instrument and to rock are innumerable. He wasn’t JUST Pat’s guitarist, he also contributed to a bunch of other artists including the guitar on Rick Springfield’s cover of Sammy Hagar’s, I’ve Done Everything for You, that resulted in a hit.
Saw them back in the day and Neil is one amazing guitarist and writer. Pat and Neil are a match made in Heaven.
Also Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl. Rhythm and Lead.
My Husband said the exact same thing!!
Lucky for Pat, actress Linda Blair cheated on him
No doubt…lot’s of great solos and riffs
Her voice still gives me goosebumps after all these years✨
Intro to, "Love is a Battlefield," is still my jam. Moving from the 1st Whoa.
@@sunii4264 “We Live for Love” for me.
So happy for Pat, that she’s happy, healthy, and still in love with a great guy. From all that I’ve heard about her, she deserves it.
I am completely offended that Pat and Neil are not in the rock and roll hall of fame. They are a staple to rock n roll. Thank you for your contribution to music. Love and blessings ❤
So happy to see these two so happy and successful. It’s wonderful to see nice people do so well. All the best to them and their family.
One of the most underrated guitarist and producers of all time, if you’re a guitarist or producer you know.
Totally agree. One of the tastier guitar players of his time, with great speed and technique...he could rock it.
He's the reason why I picked up a guitar in the first place. 25 years later he was gracious enough to sign one of my guitars.
@Kilgh Must have been great to meet your musical inspiration.
@@miketan3398 Yes. It was a very, very lucky coincidence that got me that opportunity. But, was awesome.
He was known as 'spider'.
I never knew anything about her personal life, but after hearing this, I now realize why I really like this woman. LOVED her music in the day, such a strong beautiful voice.
She looks awesome, and why not, she's not like many of the others who burned themselves out, then make excuses for what they became. Nice looking couple too.
I'd def want to see this play, with that music, how can it go wrong, the music itself would give people the thrill they were going for.
I love Pat! The 80s were the best times of my life and every time I hear one of her songs..... those wonderful memories come rushing back!! Thank you Pat !!
How are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Ditto
WoW! A solid interview for a wonderful couple! My first ever live concert was Pat, Neil and band performing at the old Carolina Coliseum, Columbia, SC in 1982 on the "Get Nervous" tour. I'm beyond thrilled that they have been married life partners so long. Bless this couple for many, many years of fine rock music!
Pat Benatar was one of the best female pioneers in the music industry in the late '70's and 80's. She inspired so many women and wow! how she rocked! She has a great voice, great on-stage presence and a talented and loyal husband beside her. 40 years together and that's inspiring too. I wish her luck on her new Broadway venture. I have a feeling she'll come out on top. You can't help but love her!
Can we just talk about how gorgeous she is rocking her natural silver/ grey hair?! Stunning!
“Weeeeee belong , we belong, we belong together” I use to sing this all the time as a kid, always loved Pat.
They both look awesome. I love the gray hair on her. It's great to see a couple look happy and settled within themselves and each other.
What a legend she is! Remember rocking out to her fist album in sixth form, aged 16! Loved her ever since.
ALWAYS loved his guitar and her, everything....inspiring success love story in the Music Industry swamp...gotta love that too!
I got to see them live twice in 2019. One show, they did just a duo, talking through their history and songs, and it was amazing. The other, they came with a band. Pat has taken care of her instrument (voice) and sounds like an angel, still. Neil is still high energy and, well, perfect. If you get a chance to see them live, go. Worth every penny!
I got to see them in the early 2000's and yes correct they are worth every penny..👍
How are you doing hope you're safe over there??
Pat Benatar still looks good, after all these years. I still love singing her Love is a Battlefield and Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Fire Away).
I've always thought she's one of the sexiest women on the planet. She even rocks the gray hair!
She's 68 here; Neil is 65. I agree they still look very good (the veneers look quite good too), but they do look like they are in their 60s.
Her version of Wuthering Heights gives me chills but can only listen to it once in awhile because I get such an ear worm I can’t even sleep”Heathcliff it’s me I’m Cathy I’ve come home let me in your window”
@@samuelm.5752 they look fantastic for their age.
@@samuelm.5752 Bibibo Bobobo's point is spot on. Of course, they are showing their age. She's almost 70. But, they look very good... for their age.
One of the greatest voices in music history!
Oh please give me a break she's mediocre
“Mediocre”?!?!? No way is that statement true…
@@meandmymonkey5137 She and maybe fifteen others people owned the '80s radio rock genre. I'm not sure what you are considering mediocre. You may not like her, but her career is a matter of of record. It happened.
@@2themoon863 Agreed 100%.
I love her music! I've been listening to her music since I was teen in the 80's. She is an original one of a kind, just like Bowie, Prince, and more. She should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago! Mic drop!
What a phenomenally wonderful story. Both of them should be in the Hall of Fame because of their tremendous works.
Wow what an amazing love story. And as a guitar player I always love the way Neil Giraldo plays guitar. I feel like him changing keys to a higher register for her voice was a benchmark moment. Bravo maestro. Love you both.
Rock solid music, couple and life. No one can tell them they are wrong. Happy to revisit them today and wishing them continued success! Thank you!
Yes!
Awesum couple🤲🎵
They're the one bright spot in a very dark musical universe. So glad they made it through unscathed... 💜
Two greats. No one can deny Pat's talent and stage presence and Neil is a guitar great that really never gets the credit he is due. He is up there with Neal Schon, James Young and Jimmy Page.
She totally deserves to be in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame!
When so many 80s songs were “please love me, I’ll die without you…” Pat Benatar was a force with powerful “kick down the door” lyrics and arrangements. I love that she didn’t accept casting couch bs or even “fix” her teeth to conform to any industry standards or further her career. Still very refreshing 40 years on. Nice couple - power couple really.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe?
Truth is...She is the major talent here...her husband was just another good-looking journeyman guitarist that she fell for. He got lucky!
@@curbozerboomer1773 So what! She recognizes her partnership with him, and sees his contributions, which are huge.
Nothing is wrong with her teeth.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Well, not really though. He is an amazing song writer. He wrote all of her biggest song hits.
She looks fantastic. I’m glad she’s not dying her hair black, trying to pull off eternally 39 like many rock stars. She’s a natural.
They're too cool to worry about getting old. As every rocker should be.
She and Emmylou Harris are the epitome of gorgeous silver hair.
@@tjwash2 On the men's side, Jimmy Page.
The gray hair is pretty recent, she was still dyeing her hair 3 or 4 years ago.
@@basilmarasco1975 Brian May..
The Romeo and Juliet part of their story is just as powerful as the music.
And yet, those two characters are intended to demonstrate the opposite of a great couple. They're children, and the responsible adults are too wrapped up in petty, violent feuding to notice what's happening. That's why it's a tragedy.
Fabulous interview!! Listen to and admire Pat Benatar for over 30+ years. Thanks 🤩
I have been a Pat Benatar fan for as long as I can remember, and have seen her perform live a couple of times. ❤️
There was no better influence in my
life than knowing they sang harmony
in life and music.
They are still doing the same as i am turning 62.
Bravo to you both
My son grew up in the 80's so I listened and LOVED the music. Pat has always been the BEST AND ALWAYS MY FAVORITE.
SHE IS STILL SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL.
One of the best voices of all time!
@Baby Hunn Found you again. You're officially an internet troll.
@@samuelm.5752 The lemon sucker is repeating that comment on here. Right hunn?
Fantastic singers/songwriters/musicians. The security in their partnership & marriage is Amazing, Inspiring & Beautiful!!! I love these two together.❤❤
Saw her in concert about 7 years ago, so this is 25 years past her prime of the 80’s. Honestly, one of the best concerts I’ve experienced, she absolutely rocked. ….I found new respect for her talent after that concert. Go Patty Mae!
I love Pat Benatar. Her music was a huge part of my childhood growing up in the late seventies and early eighties. All her songs are classic.
I grew up in the 80s to her songs. Till this day, she still kills it.🤩🎸
Same.
They are truly an amazing and kind couple who are very attentive to their fans. I had the privilege of meeting them in person and I will never forget that evening. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to and topped off with getting to meet them. My life is good.
She looks AMAZING. One of the most distinctive and multi octave voices in rock history. I'm also happy her and Neil are still in ❤ and still together.
I saw them live a couple of years ago. Absolutely fabulous!!
Her music is an anthem of my late childhood-early teenage years. What a blast to hear it again!
She was my girl power hero! I am 56 I love this woman.
That is totally unbelievable they are not in the rocknroll hall of fame. Their music is so nostalgic for me it me tear up!
In between this video being published and your comment she was inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame.
Just saw them again after 30 odd years, they both still have it, gave me chills ❤🧡🩷
Love both of them. She's an icon of rock music. He's certainly the producer that helped her along the way. Apart they would be successful. Together they are historically important musical artists.
The 2 most powerful and emotive female voices in Rock are Ann Wilson and this incredible woman. I LOVE the first 3 Benetar albums and they never get old. Neil’s guitar style is 1 of the most unique, expressive and impassioned ever. What an awesome gift to the world, their creative work! Gonna look for a bottle of that Three Chords Bourbon.
Didn't realize how many amazing songs she sang. Powerful voice.
Did CBS say 36 albums, what a duo. Lots of work, but always masterfully produced, ya know for rhe time🎅rocks!
Promises in the Dark is one of my all time favorite songs! Her voice is phenomenal! Love her and Neil!
Love her voice, and they are the epitome of a great rock duo!!
I love seein her today. She still has that look in her eyes she had in the 80s. Glad they’re still 2gether and they’re in the right frame of mind and most of all they seem happy.
She NEEDS to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and both recognized for their amazing talent!
Hello Maria
Nobody needs to be in that joke.
No, the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame needs them
Pat and Neil are truly two of the greatest contributors to the rock and roll era. Their videos on MTV were some of my favorites. Thanks for this update on an amazing love story.
I lalaloved every moment of this interview almost as much as I love Neil & Pat! But not more than I love every song THEY created!
They are both so talented and their love shines through their work. Thanks for great teenage memories with your music playing in the background.
Pat Benatar should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years ago which to me is a disgrace. But that's ok because in my opinion this lady is one of the best female rockers of all time
That shocked me! How can it even be that she's not in the Hall of Fame? Is it political?
the told they were going to induct her (and her only) but she told them that would never accept unless her husband goes in with her.... they want her only (and rightfully so)...
“…best rockers of all time”
There, I fixed it for you. ❤️
@@joetravieso3542 The RnRHF considers Pat Benatar a group and the members are Pat and Neil. 2 years ago both were nominated under the umbrella name Pat Benatar.
some things transcend establishment!
