Pat Benatar


Patricia Mae Andrzejewski was born on January 10, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. She is an American singer and four time Grammy winner. She had considerable commercial success particularly in the United States.
When she came out to the music scene, the press often compared Pat Benatar with Blondie's front woman, Debbie Harry, creating parallels regarding the fact of two sexy, attractive, gutsy female rockers. Actually they are good friends, as revealed in Pat's autobiography and have toured together during the Call Me Invincible Tour in 2009. During the 1980s, Benatar had two RIAA-certified Multi-Platinum albums, five RIAA-certified Platinum albums, three RIAA-certified Gold albums and 19 Top 40 singles, including "Love Is a Battlefield", "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", "We Belong" and "Heartbreaker".
