Pat Benatar Vinyl Record Albums
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". Benatar's music video for the song "You Better Run" was the second music video ever shown on MTV after the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star".
She was born Patricia Mae Andrzejewski in Brooklyn, but grew up in Lindenhurst, New York, initially studying 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. After performing successfully several times at the club, Benatar finally found her onstage persona in the form of a wild Halloween costume which she had worn as a joke. "The crowd was always polite, but this time they went out of their minds," Benatar would later report. "It was the same songs, sung the same way, and I thought, 'Oh my god...it's these clothes and this makeup!'" And because of that performance, she was signed to Chrysalis Records by its founder Terry Ellis.
She divorced Dennis Benatar and later married the band's guitarist, Neil Giraldo. They have two daughters.
Benatar 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 four 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.
In the Summer of 2005 Benatar's daughter, Haley Giraldo, starred in E!'s reality TV series, Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive.
