Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo

Pat Benatar's polished mainstream pop/rock made her one of the more popular female vocalists of the early '80s. 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. Pat has been performing with her husband Neil Giraldo since the beginning. With hits like "Heartbreaker," "I Need a Lover," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Treat Me Right," "You Better Run," "Shadows of the Night," "Love Is a Battlefield," "We Belong" and "Invincible" Pat Benatar has cemented her place in the rock & roll history books.
