Pat Benatar is often considered to be the “Queen of Rock”, and has wowed the music masses with her incredible vocal range and hard rockin tunes.  As one of the most popular 80s rock bands, Pat Benatar burst onto the megastar stage with her 1980 release of “Crimes of Passion”.  The signature song on that record “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” broke the Top Ten in the US, and eventually went on to sell a whopping four million copies in the United States.

 

Benatar followed up with “Precious Time” in 1981 and won a grammy award for “Best Female Rock Vocal Performance” the same year.  Pat opened many doors for aspiring female rockers and may be viewed as a pioneer for female fronted hard rock bands.
