THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLATED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE Hello. I am old and have Zero Idea how to do Instagram, or your other site. 1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all. Thank you. I Love watching your Reactions! When you read it, just Look at ALL he did in a Very Short Time. More than a Lot of Artists/Bands do in their entire Career... @Jamel_AKA_Jamal : Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
She also has “Hell is for Children,” which makes me cry every time. It’s a harrowingly beautiful song calling attention to child abuse and neglect. The track “Shadows of the Night” also has glorious harmonization in the chorus that gives me chills.
Hell is For Children still makes me cry all these years later. Unfortunately, there was a story unfolding for a young mom of four who worked with my mom at the time this album came out. Incredibly sad and altho the mom was able to save her kids from the situation and the abusive dad went to prison, there hasn't been a "and they all lived happily ever after" for the kids.
This song is very nostalgic for me. My Mom (who we lost 2 year ago) and I used to clear the furniture and kill the dance routine every time this vid played. Brings back sweet memories.
Pat was actually trained in opera before singing rock. She was the original rock goddess from the 80's and is still going strong. check out "Heartbreaker" "Treat Me Right" "Hit Me with your Best Shot" "We Belong" "and tons more. She ruled the airwaves for years!
If you watch Pat's later interviews it's the one thing she "hated" about that video. She expresses a deep lack of rhythm and felt so uncoordinated during the shoot.
FYI: Don Henley walked in on Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo while they were recording this song in the studio. Don asked Neil if he could use the Linn drum machine's synced beat (from this song) for one he was trying to put together and boom..... that's how the beat for Don Heley's "Boys Of Summer" came about!
That song was co-written by Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but Tom Petty passed on the song. When Mike Campbell redid it for Don Henley, Tom Petty was both happy and angry that he didn't believe in it enough. But it wouldn't have been the same.
In the early days of MTV, some of the videos were mini-movies. This video creates a storyline about a runaway teen in trouble, something not really in the lyrics of the song. But it fits. They packed a lot of story into such a short video. And in the end, is she heading back home? Or onward to a new destination?
He said "What movie is this?" This was the art of artists like the incomparable Miss Benatar. Don't ask me whycome she was 36 getting kicked out of the house?
also at one point in the 80s teen kids, especially girls, running away from home to the city was big news, talked about a lot. Pat was trying to tell another side to the story!
Hell Is For Children, is their signature song, they have done it in every concert but two in the Decades they have performed. It should be the anthem for Child Abuse Assistance.
this was the 1st of the "story" videos from back in the 80s where there was a narrative and dialogue to reinforce the songs message-it was huge when it came out
"Don't go stripping now!" The video was a cautionary tale against mistaking the "freedom" you can gain when leaving a loving family that may not be perfect with the false freedom the streets offer.
I always thought the video was an important message to working girls everywhere that you can just walk out on your pimp anytime you want by strutting and shaking your boobs at him.
After years of basically "band in a box", and strange imagery, there was a trend to stretch what the video format could do. I was in my last year of high school when this came out, and we all loved it. The Benatar is the name of the ship in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2.
Pat Benetar was the best live performance I've ever been to. Saw her at Mobile's Bayfest 2012 and she had such incredible stage presence, and it was so personal, not a massive crowd of screaming fans, but it felt like a group of friends around a campfire. Truly a legend.
One of the best voices in rock music. She was accepted at NYC's famous Juilliard School For Performing Arts and trained briefly as a mezzo-soprano...but she quit school to marry her high school boyfriend. Her mother had also been trained in opera. Pat's 4 octave range matched her 4 Grammy wins. Still a badass. 😎✌❤😊🎶
This is one of the best song/videoclip i had seen in my life. Is very sad but the song has a strong melody and Pat is beautiful and incredibly good singer. 80´s at his finest, powerful feelings around here. Peace bro.
This is the first video on MTV to have spoken words (when she's arguing with her dad when she runs away). Also, Pat had the very 2nd video to play on MTV (only after Video Killed The Radio Star), singing the song You Better Run. That's another video you need to see! She is a teen runaway, she misses her little brother. The guy in the bar is her pimp & she and the other girls rebel against him. She regrets going to the big city and getting involved in that life, and at the end she goes home.
Both my children thought I was an asshole until they had their own children. Now I have a wonderful relationship with both of them. Amazing how perspectives change.
I can never not associate this video with the version from SOUTH PARK, now...never...that scene where the townspeople come up over the hill, doing the group dance at the end of this...priceless.
In the new movie 'Nobody' there is one of the GREATEST car chase/song combo's I have ever experienced via film. Pat Benatar 'Heartbreaker' and it ROCKS.
Great early mtv videos. Proper story, great choreographed dance, amazing song. That great synth and funky guitar combo. The 12" mix of this songs has a great outro
The club owner in the video was actually the choreographer. The song was written by Holly Knight. She wrote songs for many 80s performers including Patty Smythe, Animotion, and Kiss among the list.
She started out as a Gospel singer. She was told she could make it big singing rock with her looks. I have read she didn’t allow the members of her band to do drugs or drink on tour.
Pat Benatar is a GOAT female rock singer. 🐐 Written by Mike Chapman + Holly Knight. They wrote Pleasure +Pain for The Divinyls, 1985, and Love Touch for Rod Stewart, 1986. MC + Nicky Chinn wrote Heart and Soul for Huey Lewis, 1983. Holly Knight wrote 1 Obsession with Michael Des Barres, 1983, 2 Simply the Best for Tina Turner, 1991 3 Ragdoll with Steven Tyler + Jim Vallance, 4 Never with Gene Black, Ann Wilson + Nancy Wilson, 1985. These are just some of the many hits HK wrote. 🎹🎸
I knew a girl in grade school, sweet kid, everyone liked her. When the rest of us entered high school, she was on the streets like this. Her father had been abusing her. Never learned where it went from there. i still think of her now and then and hope things turned out okay.
Check out her first hit - Heartbreaker. It's Pat Benetar at her finest - on stage with a microphone in hand. No overly produced videos, no awkward dance routines. Just her and her amazing voice!
Remember, this was made back when society was all about women's liberation/independence and the launch of a music video on MTV likewise what launched the songs. So, they became mini-stories which led to the trend of cinema movies launching new songs via the theme song.
That was filmed on 14tth street and off 8th avenue in nyc in a bar that I can no longer remember the name of. I walked by as they were filing this video as my best friend lived in a brownstone right upstairs! Awesome memory!
I LOVED this video back in the day! To methis was a departure from her previous image... I was shocked at her dancing and I loved The sisterhood at the end!
I recall hearing and watching this for the first time. It was in a pub, called, ''The Underground'' in Sheffield UK. I was with my girlfriend, and we watched the video on a big screen. I was totally blown away. It struck me like lightning. I was instantly in love with this song. Just loved the voice, so powerful, and the video The dancing bit was super great. One of my favourite songs ever. I even play it on guitar today.. I dumbed the girlfriend, three times, I never learned. Happier days though back then. You could keep a girlfriend for more than two minutes, and the music was great!. Great stuff Jamal. My best wishes from across the pond moog.
The pimp is played by Michael Peters who is also the choreographer for this video and he also did the choreography for Michael Jackson's Beat It. He also played one of the gang leaders in the famous knife fight scene where the tied one of their hands to the other
Hey Jamel! Fun fact: The choreographer on this video was Michael Peters. You even see him briefly in the video. He's the one in the park wearing sunglasses watching as Pat walks down the stairs. He was *the* choreographer for big budget 80's videos like this one. He also choreographed for Lionel Ritchie and, most notably, Michael Jackson ("Thriller" and "Beat It"). Helluva resume. ☮✌🏼 out!
Pat Benatar became a star at the same time that MTV became a huge music tv station. In fact, the first video they ever played was by Pat. This video was extremely popular...as you can see, it was almost like a short film.
Pat Benetar is great as is this song. Trivia, she actually had the second video ever played on MTV when it started, 'You Better Run'. And now you know.
Man... Pat Benetar back in the early 80's. She had the voice of an angel, and the looks that made you wish she was anything but. Of course, she was already married to her guitarist, Neil Geraldo by then... she married at 17. But I can remember spending a lot of hours listening to her music while staring wishfully at her picture on the album cover...
Jamal, you are the Gold Standard. Every video you make is authentic, insightful, fun and inspiring. Respect. Respect. Respect! Huge fans here in Idaho. You make oldies new and give people hope in the Good while you do it.
This was the 80's... Music Videos were often their own mini movies. "Artistry" was going through a transition and no matter what you hear about the 80's... the music, and the music industry, and the music as a medium, really evolved in the 80's.
You need too see her actual concerts. Seen her 3 times. She is all but 5'2 and dressed in leather. 3 octave voice too! She married the lead guitarist. They've been together ever since. She is really a classy lady now.
This was one of the videos from MTV I watched with my sons. The young girl was working at a dance place where guys paid to get dances with them. We laughed because the girls did like a dance fight towards the creepy guy and then I'd pretend to throw a drink on one of my sons at the right part. :) Great memories. Now they are all growed up. :)

THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLATED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE
Hello. I am old and have Zero Idea how to do Instagram, or your other site.
1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all. Thank you. I Love watching your Reactions!
When you read it, just Look at ALL he did in a Very Short Time. More than a Lot of Artists/Bands do in their entire Career...
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal : Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
Not a movie - just the storyline for the video. They did that a lot back then. ❤️
I really miss that actually 🙂 - Old School videos were Awesome!!
@@rachel-in-the-208 Me, too. 🙂
So true...most eighties video's were like short movies
Exactly Jamel a lot of people don't get that...she's just talking about love in general
Yep... They did the most back then.
She also has “Hell is for Children,” which makes me cry every time. It’s a harrowingly beautiful song calling attention to child abuse and neglect.
The track “Shadows of the Night” also has glorious harmonization in the chorus that gives me chills.
Hell is for Children is her best song, IMO. Okay, 'We Belong' is excellent also.
I'm constantly encouraging reactors to do Hell is for Children. I'm hoping to see someone react to it eventually.
Hell is For Children still makes me cry all these years later. Unfortunately, there was a story unfolding for a young mom of four who worked with my mom at the time this album came out. Incredibly sad and altho the mom was able to save her kids from the situation and the abusive dad went to prison, there hasn't been a "and they all lived happily ever after" for the kids.
@@IllumeEltanin I don't if a video was done for it but I loved Pats version of Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush)
She owned the day when this song came out..that whole band was rockin jack!
This song is very nostalgic for me. My Mom (who we lost 2 year ago) and I used to clear the furniture and kill the dance routine every time this vid played. Brings back sweet memories.
That’s just fabulous! 💕💕💕
Your family sound very eccentric.
Was the furniture insured?
Pat was actually trained in opera before singing rock. She was the original rock goddess from the 80's and is still going strong. check out "Heartbreaker" "Treat Me Right" "Hit Me with your Best Shot" "We Belong" "and tons more. She ruled the airwaves for years!
We Belong, Grammy nomination.
This woman needs to be in the rock n roll hof !!!
She's got a great song called "We Belong." It's got a sweet children's choir in it.
It's a great song
Good song but it gets annoying after 20 years of hearing it lol
@@thebiglebowski8591 Don't they all? lol
My favorite.
I can’t listen to that song the chorus stays stuck in my head for weeks later lol
One of the GOAT's. The natural talent this lady has is incredible.
Her husband is an excellent musician and he’s been her partner since this time.
He's from the Cleveland area. A lot of my musician friends hang out with them when they're in the area
Neil Giraldo - great guitarist, brilliant musician
“We Belong” gives me shivers. Such a great song, as is this one 👍
Everyone who grew up in the 80's probably could do the dance from the video.
We can. LOL
Brings back memories of me and my girlfriends watching this on MTV and doing the dance with them.
I like to think i can. Next time a rapist approaches, just dance the fucker away!
If you watch Pat's later interviews it's the one thing she "hated" about that video. She expresses a deep lack of rhythm and felt so uncoordinated during the shoot.
When other girls wanted to be Madonna, I wanted to be Pat Benatar. She kicks ass!
Next from Pat B should be "Shadows of the night". Not only a great song, but also an awesome video.
FYI: Don Henley walked in on Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo while they were recording this song in the studio.
Don asked Neil if he could use the Linn drum machine's synced beat (from this song) for one he was trying to put together and boom..... that's how the beat for Don Heley's "Boys Of Summer" came about!
Love this bit of trivia, thanks for sharing!
Wow, I can hear that!
That song was co-written by Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, but Tom Petty passed on the song. When Mike Campbell redid it for Don Henley, Tom Petty was both happy and angry that he didn't believe in it enough. But it wouldn't have been the same.
Not a movie, the official video...it was the MTV age( when MTV actually emphasized music instead of crappy reality shows)
In the early days of MTV, some of the videos were mini-movies. This video creates a storyline about a runaway teen in trouble, something not really in the lyrics of the song. But it fits. They packed a lot of story into such a short video. And in the end, is she heading back home? Or onward to a new destination?

This is my favorite pat Benatar song
Straight classic of the 80s
All Fired Up, Treat Me Right and Hell is For Children are just a few of her great hits!
Good list! I’d Add Promises in the Dark, Shadows of the Night, Fire and Ice, and We Belong
@@IONATVS absolutely, she had so many hits, I just picked a few of my favs 😊
The next Pat Benatar song that you should react to is Hell Is For Children. It is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes.
With the intro "Sweet Melissa."
Hell Is For Children, is their signature song, they have done it in every concert but two in the Decades they have performed. It should be the anthem for Child Abuse Assistance.
Not a happy song, but a truly great song.
this was the 1st of the "story" videos from back in the 80s where there was a narrative and dialogue to reinforce the songs message-it was huge when it came out
Time after time, Cindi Lauper was another. Also Bronski beat, Small town boy.
"Promises In The Dark" is a banger not to mention a song that really showcases her beautiful voice
Amazing!!!
My favorite..... I used to do a cover band in the 80s pat was always my favorite
My favorite
This was directed by Bob Giraldi who also directed Michael Jackson's "Beat It" .
Related to her husband?
@@johncampbell756 Het husband is Neil Giraldo
@@sampa2nyc One letter off.
The choreographer is the late Michael Peters who choreographed MJ’s Thriller & Beat It videos among many others
I thought from what I could remember that there was some relation to each other. Thanks !
"Don't go stripping now!"
The video was a cautionary tale against mistaking the "freedom" you can gain when leaving a loving family that may not be perfect with the false freedom the streets offer.
I always thought the video was an important message to working girls everywhere that you can just walk out on your pimp anytime you want by strutting and shaking your boobs at him.
@@deemavo that too!
Jamel - check out 'You Better Run,' by her. Total banger and her best song IMHO.
Definitely, a very young Pat then
I got my first Pat Benatar album in 3rd grade! Promises in the Dark! Her vocal range is amazing
After years of basically "band in a box", and strange imagery, there was a trend to stretch what the video format could do. I was in my last year of high school when this came out, and we all loved it.
The Benatar is the name of the ship in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2.
It's not from a movie. It does have the distinction of being the first MTV music video that has spoken dialog outside the song.
Pat Benetar was the best live performance I've ever been to. Saw her at Mobile's Bayfest 2012 and she had such incredible stage presence, and it was so personal, not a massive crowd of screaming fans, but it felt like a group of friends around a campfire. Truly a legend.
Love Pat Benatar. This is my favourite song by her. A classic. Thanks Jamel 👍🎶
Brilliant in so many ways hearing this. Funny how songs come around, the 80s don't sound so dated anymore..
One of the best voices in rock music. She was accepted at NYC's famous Juilliard School For Performing Arts and trained briefly as a mezzo-soprano...but she quit school to marry her high school boyfriend. Her mother had also been trained in opera. Pat's 4 octave range matched her 4 Grammy wins. Still a badass. 😎✌❤😊🎶
“Why did I know he was gonna be like a douche?” 😂😂💯💯💯
I got to see her when she toured with Journey in 2012. She still sounds incredible!
This is one of the best song/videoclip i had seen in my life. Is very sad but the song has a strong melody and Pat is beautiful and incredibly good singer. 80´s at his finest, powerful feelings around here. Peace bro.
I would love hearing your reaction to Benatar's "Shadows of the Night". The guitar solo is memorable.
👍 Always loved her voice!! She was a opera singer at one time!!
pats wailing in the backround i always found really haunting. it always gives me goosebumps hearing this song. REALLY powerful vocals and power
This is the first video on MTV to have spoken words (when she's arguing with her dad when she runs away). Also, Pat had the very 2nd video to play on MTV (only after Video Killed The Radio Star), singing the song You Better Run. That's another video you need to see!

Pat Benatar has been my favorite performer for 40 years. She's woven herself into my DNA.
This song literally transports me back to my college days
Junior high for me!
We are rocking to the 80s now,l 🇨🇦🍁😃
Need some Loverboy !
@@karenm7346 working for the weekend!😃🍁🇨🇦
you would love her song all fired up
My aunties and I used to sing & dance to Pat B. in my grandparents kitchen! It was always a blast...=)
You should watch I don't like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats
This was a great song, makes me feel old as I recall this being released
That was a great song! (Based on a true story too)
Both my children thought I was an asshole until they had their own children. Now I have a wonderful relationship with both of them. Amazing how perspectives change.
I was just jamming to Banarama "Cruel Summer" because it's hot af in Detroit already and noticed this, we're on the same 80's page today Brother
Great song
One of my all time favorites!
Oh man, does this bring back memories of my early 20's!!
Thanks for bringing back all those great songs from my youth I forgot about, Jamal!!
Pat Benatar is a classically trained OPERA SINGER. Rock is child’s play to her. Queen
This was my jam. This song still rings true. Love is a battlefield.
She was/is AMAZING!!!
I can never not associate this video with the version from SOUTH PARK, now...never...that scene where the townspeople come up over the hill, doing the group dance at the end of this...priceless.
In the new movie 'Nobody' there is one of the GREATEST car chase/song combo's I have ever experienced via film. Pat Benatar 'Heartbreaker' and it ROCKS.
Not from a movie, just a music video ☺️ (yes music videos used to have storylines)
To me, this has a ‘Thriller’ vibe. Love the tracks you’ve done today Jamel.
Think you mean "Beat It" not "Thiller"
Great early mtv videos. Proper story, great choreographed dance, amazing song. That great synth and funky guitar combo. The 12" mix of this songs has a great outro
Love this song. My personal favourite though is 'Too Long a Soldier' from Wide Awake in Dreamland, an immense song with a very pertinent message.
Jamel just brings the good vibes
How this woman is not in the rock and roll Halll of Fame?
They would rather put the Foo Fighters in.. or Jay-Z.
Incredible. One of my favourites
No movie, this is just her badass production for this song! 👏♥️💪
The club owner in the video was actually the choreographer. The song was written by Holly Knight. She wrote songs for many 80s performers including Patty Smythe, Animotion, and Kiss among the list.

You know how it goes around here brother Jamal we keep great music alive
Lots of great music from Pat. One of my favorite albums of hers is her 10th, from 1997, Innamorata. Every song.
The pimp is played by Michael Peters who is also the choreographer for this video and he also did the choreography for Michael Jackson's Beat It. He also played one of the gang leaders in the famous knife fight scene where the tied one of their hands to the other

How nerdy do you have to be to know something like that?!
You need to get yourself a girlfriend PDQ!!
a classic from the early days of MTV
She is one of the greats that made the 80's so amazing! MTV was amazing back then.
Was used in the film the legend of Billy Jean, loved it as a teenager.
It never gets old. She rocks it.

Man... the 80s... pat benatar...love this sound!
I'm so...happy you are listening to the music we grew up with and hope you pass it on.
Man... Pat Benetar back in the early 80's. She had the voice of an angel, and the looks that made you wish she was anything but. Of course, she was already married to her guitarist, Neil Geraldo by then... she married at 17. But I can remember spending a lot of hours listening to her music while staring wishfully at her picture on the album cover...
Promises in the dark and fire and ice are probably her best work.
Jamal, you are the Gold Standard. Every video you make is authentic, insightful, fun and inspiring. Respect. Respect. Respect! Huge fans here in Idaho. You make oldies new and give people hope in the Good while you do it.
Promises in the Dark and All Fired Up also two Benatar greats
This was the 80's... Music Videos were often their own mini movies. "Artistry" was going through a transition and no matter what you hear about the 80's... the music, and the music industry, and the music as a medium, really evolved in the 80's.
You need too see her actual concerts. Seen her 3 times. She is all but 5'2 and dressed in leather. 3 octave voice too! She married the lead guitarist. They've been together ever since. She is really a classy lady now.
Lots of similar choreography as the Thriller video. Next Pat Benatar song should be We Belong. So beautiful.
Just got goosebumps watching this video game got a love her what a great story and song
She is the best!!!
Thanks I loved your reaction. Always loves this tune
"What in the Fame is going on here?" I love it!
This was one of the videos from MTV I watched with my sons. The young girl was working at a dance place where guys paid to get dances with them. We laughed because the girls did like a dance fight towards the creepy guy and then I'd pretend to throw a drink on one of my sons at the right part. :) Great memories. Now they are all growed up. :)
