Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo

Pat Benatar has always been a rule-breaker and a trail-blazer, and after more than three decades in rock 'n' roll, she's a bonafide living legend. Songs like "Love is a Battlefield," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Heartbreaker," "Promises In The Dark," and "We Belong," are as unforgettable now as they were at the dawn of MTV, when Pat emerged, fearless, fighting, and forging a path for other female rock stars around the world.

More about Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo

Although she came on like an arena rocker with her power chords, tough sexuality, and powerful vocals, her music was straight pop/rock underneath all the bluster. Born Patricia Andrzejewski on January 10, 1953, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the singer was raised in the nearby town of Lindenhurst on Long Island, NY. Benatar began singing regularly in the New York City area by the '70s, where she was discovered at the Catch a Rising Star club and signed by Chrysalis Records.
