About Pat Benatar
After capturing industry ears with her showcases at New York's Catch A Rising Star, Benatar signed to Chrysalis Records and released the million selling "In The Heat of the Night" in 1979, followed by the multi-platinum "Crimes of Passion" a year later. From 1980-83, she captured an unprecedented four straight Grammys in the category "Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female" for the Top Five album "Crimes of Passion" ('80) and the hit singles "Fire and Ice" ('81), "Shadows of the Night" ('82) and "Love Is A Battlefield" ('83). With the latter, she emerged as one of the leading stars of the emerging music video scene with a Bob Giraidi-directed clip which proved to be an MTV mainstay.
The siren-voiced Pat Benatar leapt onto the music scene in the late '70s, when hard rock was still pretty much a boys' club. She made a strong impression. On in-your-face hits like "Heartbreaker" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Benatar issued challenges to bad-boy lovers, and her tough-gal image was bolstered through dramatic videos on MTV for a string of hits including "We Belong" and the powerful "Love is a Battlefield." But Benatar was always much more than an image, as the many strong compositions in her songbook attest.
Pat Benatar (born January 10, 1953) is a popular American rock singer who had numerous hits during the 1980s such as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Love is a Battlefield".
She was born Patricia Mae Andrzejewski in Brooklyn, but grew up in Lindenhurst, New York. She initially studied opera like her mother. She married Dennis T. Benatar in 1971, providing her the surname with which she became famous. She was discovered at an amateur-night contest in the New York City comedy club "Catch a Rising Star" in 1977, and was signed to Chrysalis Records by its founder Terry Ellis.
She divorced Benatar and later married the band's guitarist, Neil Giraldo. They have two daughters.
She is known for her operatic voice and 'tough' attitude. She won four consecutive Grammy Awards for "Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female" from 1980 to 1983, and was nominated 4 additional times in 1985, 1986, 1988, and 1989.
Benatar still writes and tours with her husband, and has also become a commercial spokeswoman for the Energizer company.
