- She was a singer from Long Island, inspired by Liza Minnelli and coated in spandex; he was a guitarist from Cleveland. Together they are one of rock's most enduring couples, who have sold 36 million albums, recorded 15 Top 40 hits, and won four consecutive Grammys. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo talk with correspondent Jim Axelrod about their creative partnership, their 40-year-marriage, and their latest collaboration: the upcoming stage musical, "Invincible," a reimagining of "Romeo & Juliet" featuring their iconic rock songs.

She deserves to be in the rock n roll fame more than a lot people who made it in.
Oh like MADONNA ( WTF?????? ) and a number of RAP artists? what do any of them have to do with rock and roll? NOTHING. The "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame has NO credibility with rockers. NONE.
@@CydnotCharrise1 My family and I were traveling through the Cleveland area on the way to Cedar Point and we stopped at the RRHOF and the NFL HOF in Canton, OH. It was unanimous, the NFL HOF had really deserving players. The RRHOF? Too many choices based on “the political”. As with you, what does Rap and other outside of Rock and Roll genres have to do with Rock and Roll, save for the early formative years of influences by, for example, blues artists.
It took them YEARS to recognize the genius that is RUSH and they still seem to dis that same genius in Jethro Tull.
I saw whats in there. A LOT of them really don't belong.
@@CydnotCharrise1 Politics...
The RRHF is sooooo political.
Even in her older years, she is absolutely GORGEOUS! She is KILLING IT with that grey blunt bob! One of my favorite voices in music! She's an absolute POWERHOUSE! ❤️❤️❤️
And no autotune!
Are you a hairdresser ?? 👏
@@jimbanda no, I'm not lol 😂
amen
You
Easily one of the greatest female vocalist of all time. Welcome to the Hall of Fame Pat and Neil!!!
All these years later, her voice still gives me goosebumps.
Same
Agree.
Pat Benatar looks amazing. She's gorgeous with the gray hair, and Neil too. As an old timer who grew up listening to her as a teenager, it was so heartening to watch this interview. The two of them are a fantastic couple
She's all wrinkles at 68. Get your eyes checked grandma.
I grew up listening to her as a teenager. Who are you calling an old timer! 😆
@@Monster_Mover_Stocks Troll
@@Monster_Mover_Stocks what do u want at 68? If she‘d done plastic surgery, you‘d be complaining. What’s your point? it‘s called aging.
@@uzzymuzzy4312 It's called "accelerated" aging.
She was a trained opera singer in theater school where she owned those high octave notes in her vocal career. She took her voice to another level. Most overlooked and underrated female artist that women should model in today's music industry
As a trained opera singer who grew up on her music. My siblings always let me know that she had studied classical voice. Why her voice has continued to be sooo strong. HER CLASSICAL TRAINING. She is such an inspiration.
Overlooked and underrated? Are you serious? She was everywhere in the late 70's and 80's.
@@hnybee113 😁
@@everready19373 Benatar was overlooked and underrated in what was a dominated man's business. The couple should have been recognized decades ago in Rock N'Roll Hall of Fame. Very deserving and long past due. What a voice and amazing songs. Love her still.
No wonder she can successfully nail Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights - after lesser talents botch it thoroughly
i thank them both for being a part of my life!!!Rock On!
An 80’s icon. And she’s still so amazing and relevant. What a legacy
Together, they gave those of us who came of age in the late 70s the words that would lead to the empowerment we have passed down to our daughters and the understanding that we have passed down to our sons.
I had the wonderful opportunity to know her personally in Richmond during her bank teller days. She sang with a group called Coxons Army in a club named Sam Miller’s in Richmond’s historic Shockoe Slip. I was a college student at VCU. A group of us saw her 6 nights a week followed by going out to breakfast. She was a real delight. I have heard that she remembers us. I remember so well those times and her singing Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show. It was one of the most fun times in my life. I always knew she would be successful
Lovely recollection. Greetings from a UK fan of Pat Benatar since the mid eighties. I am also a fan of John Waite who is due to work with Neil Giraldo on new material and produced Waite's first solo album Ignition in 1982. 'Change' was on heavy rotation on MTV when it began.
That's fun.
Such a great story!
Such a great story!
Thanks for Sharing! My little girls rock out to Pat all the time!
I love her even more now and knowing that she and Neil pushed for their place in the industry together and took no crap makes it such a great story.
AXS TV'S The Big Interview w/ Dan Rather did a FANTASTIC interview with them.
Stay true to yourself and respect yourself this is the end result. God bless them.
That’s why they were basically black balled because they weren’t boot lickers.
Two of the most down-to-earth people in music. Love them both!
They're so cute together on stage too. He always refers to her as her full name "Patricia" which I thought was so charming because she's this badass rocker but she softens it for him
Pat Benatar has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard in concert and her range was amazing. To see how much love they have for each other is truly inspiring and amazing
“ why’s that she’s not on the RNRHOF??” because she’s no one’s puppet , she doesn’t need a decrepit magazine and their minions to acknowledge what WE already know, she is a legit RNR Icon!!!
Keep on rocking Pat and Neil!!!
What's so compelling & ironic about her attitude considering her accomplishments, talent, & absolute right to have been inducted long ago .....is so laughingly on display RIGHT NOW with the current inductees.... specifically Todd Rundgren's refusal to show up or acknowledge his induction..... uhrah Todd good for you.... What a disappointment to see Paul induct ff & DC induct jz ..... best part was video of Todd "refusing to serve if elected" from 2017 Berkeley commencement speech...
You too rock R. Riley, poet! (Middle school name too)💜the honesty🎹Happy Holidays too all who paved the road towards recording independence 🎄🎅🌍☮️
Enjoyed on HBO, but yeh, a bit mainstream. The young people Do need introductions to the creative golden rock era. SXSW and ACL helps musicians monetize and navigate so much to know now! ☘️🎹Faith & Perseverance inspired by ROCKESS BENETAR this holiday season🎄🎅🌍☮️
Pat Benatar was a badass female rocker back in the 80’s and she still is today. She doesn’t need a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on her resume. She’s still so badass that she can rock natural gray hair color too and still look fabulous! You go girl - you and you’re awesome hubby have my respect! 🤘🏻❤️
She clearly has had a lot of face work done
And That's Bloody Truth!! I Have Loved Their Music Since I Was In My Teens Now I Am In My Late 50's .
Their Music Is Still Relevant, and I Still Love The Music.👍👍💜💜
@@acooksla Yeah, but she looks great!
@@tdsims1963 I agree. What work she’s had done is very well done and not overdone so she looks like a clown.
Well said!
Big Congratulations to Pat and Neil. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally got it right. I am pleased all my fan votes were recognized this time. Can't wait to see the ceremony. It's a great group this year.
Of course, I remembered all her hits of the 80s, but time went on and I forgot about her and her hits. But after watching this clip, it is good to know that she and her husband are doing just fine and are down to earth people! I like them!
What a great couple.
My buddy, a concierge in Boston, became friends with them after staying at his hotel.
He told me how down to earth, friendly, and genuinely nice people they are.
It's always great to see a couple go the distance...
👍
Love her. It's crazy to think she isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
She's not? Wow! That is crazy!
Especially considering almost everyone gets in eventually.
@@sherylchapman4168 ...Is that why so many rap artists are in?
@@sherylchapman4168 ...I see you edited your comment after my response, how disingenuous.
Yeah, TRARHOF has no tastes!!
Neil and Pat are in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame in our Hearts !!! Where it really Counts
I was obsessed with this woman’s music since 78 and 79, it’s hard to describe how much of part of life these songs has the earmark times in our life that we’re good and bad….what a great couple great music thank God I was a teenager in the 80s.
They don't need that rock and roll hall of Fame, they are icons!
It actually diminishes The credibility of the Hall of Fame, not them! It must be political. I'd love to know the reason! It's as if Merrill Streep hadn't won an academy award by now!
The R&R hall of fame is a joke, looks at some of the names in and some that aren't. They should totally blow them off when they are inducted.
Once again, why is it a "joke"? Political, incompetence?
Exactly! The Hall is invalid.
The U.N. of Rock music. Such a powerful symbol but they don't really do anything.
Love how she's rocking her gray hair.
She is Neil's love and muse.
She makes me want to go ahead and rock my gray hair versus what I’m doing currently
@Samuel M. I have seen plenty of ladies my age and younger that are rocking their natural gray locks and I have to tell you I am never sure of the age. Of course relatively speaking, each individual has their own perception of what aging gracefully looks like. Everyone's visual perception of anything is a subjective perception. The matter of how old a personal actually looks versus how old they actually ARE is also around the same subject matter. So if she happened to be 76y/o vs 67y/o then tell me whose opinion of her is to be accepted as aging gracefully just because her hair color is gray. Unless people are solely going on the amount of Aging in relation to their facial creases, rumples and grooves in their skin.
@@ladyomusuku6418 I agree completely-she looks amazing! I don’t have the balls she does, so I’m still covering my greys! It is tempting tho 🤣
I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager. So happy Neil and Pat are together after all these years.
So very awesome to see Pat and Neil still rocking it after all of these years! And Pat…you rock that silver hair, love it!
Their story is simply incredible and ultra-rare . . . and they're *still* together. Phenomenal. Both were great looking and are aging gracefully-together.
Now she is: "a real tough cookie with a long history." What an amazing and talented couple. They are legends!
Couldn't have said it better!
Funny use of the lyric
I am completely offended that Pat and Neil are not in the rock and roll hall of fame. They are a staple to rock n roll. Thank you for your contribution to music. Love and blessings ❤
She is a dynamo and he is an amazing guitarist and songwriter..... and together they are MAGIC! They deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for DAMN sure..... LOVE THEM ❤️💞❤️
My first ever concert was Pat Benetar with my brother who has now passed away. First beer spilled on me. I think I was 15. I will always love her! I’m 53 now. Great memories! Miss my big brother.
My condolences
Keep Those fun memories alive it will keep a smile on your face when thinking about your fun big brother
How wonderful to have such memories of your brother. You are truly blessed.
Special memories, we could feel the love all over Lady Benetar's Strong Stage. Who knew family guitarist and writer? Maybe a poetic lyric with your flare would help accompany the angels with your dear brother! Hanging an ornament for our music memories for ya now! Peaceful joys this holiday season for ALL Pat's fans all over the world 🌎💒🕎🎄
You were so lucky. I am so sorry about your brother. I have been there and it is very hard. Prayers for you hurt.
Pat seems like such a genuine person, grounded, humble and over all nice. Neil and Pat make a great couple!!
Neal went after a married woman I wouldnt call him honerable
@@poet7158 Pat had been long since divorced when their romance began.
Yes, genuine and humble, but definitely not a pushover. She is one of my all-time favorites.
Hey people! What they both did before doesn't matter! We all have done mistakes and aren't flawless! In a world of increasing division and hatred, it's always nice to see there are people out there that still are believing in and taking love to another level!
Seen a number of musicians they've worked with (especially Roger Capps) say the exact same thing.
Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo are one UNSTOPPABLE DUO !!! Their music is a road map to my teen age years and still to now in my 50’s !! She is so deserving of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Shame on those who haven’t put her in!! She will always be in my personal hall of fame forever !! 🤘🤘💋
She is in my hall of fame and I had no idea her husband was so inspirational in her career. She is number one in my mind.
Easily one of the best female rock voices EVER! Her vocal range is unmatched.
One of the best rock voices ever! She took gender out of the equation a long time ago! Class act to boot. She's got it all in spades.
As a child of the 80s she seemed so powerful. I've always loved her music. And what an inspiration, not an ounce of plastic in her face. She is aging beautifully.
100% agreed. Thanks for the comment!
They are both ridiculously talented individually, and together are without peer. Neil is the the most under rated musician in rock. I love them to pieces.
Didn’t think I could love them more…and they are FINALLY going into the Hall of Fame. Bravo
I was in fifth grade when my friend put "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" on her record player. Pat Benatar is one of the voices of my youth. She epitomizes what rock is.
I remember seeing Her play @ "old man rivers " on the west bank of New Orleans. In the late 70's. The beginning of a Star🎶🎸
@@raphaelchampagne6163 very cool! I was only in fourth grade when the 70s ended. I didn't go to my first concert for years and years after that.
She taught me how to stand up for myself as a young woman, through her songs and actions. What a great inspiration this couple has always been.
That's right, she told us we don't have to take any crap! Thanks Pat, love you.You look fantastic!
And why wouldn’t you be able to stand up for yourself?! Let me guess….because you’re a weak minded person who needs to be told their something instead of just being it…bs victim mentality
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 troll much? Find someone else to try to gaslight. Good day.
She packed a whole lotta attitude in such a small frame. Her band were the perfect foil for her sassiness and it reeled us all in.
I really hope you are joking.
I want more. Their stories are so good listening to.
Pat should definitely be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame indeed.
Pat literally and lyrically helped me get through some awful, tumultuous teenage years back in the early 80’s. I would pop her vinyl album onto my turntable, put the headphones on, and crank up the volume to disappear into another realm for a while. My late husband and I saw them live in Ft Wayne, IN years ago and it was magical for me! Keep the music coming, Pat & Neil !!
“You Better Run" was the SECOND video to air on MTV. That’s something too. Oh I miss those days. Pat and Neil are the BEST ❤️
I remembered this MTV fact about Pat Benatar and was about to post it from Wikipedia but saw you already did! Truly helped launch their career into orbit!
This is a GREAT bar trivia question.
“What was the first song ever played on MTV?”
Everyone: “Video Killed the Radio Star.”
“What was second?”
*silence*
Neil was the first guitarist shown on MTV!
@@efren7592 Yes, All those other Rock bands and artist they could have picked, Oueen, Kiss, etc. but they chose Pat❤️. Rod Stewart followed her at #3. That says alot. Pat RULES.
I would stay up all night watching my MTV, I definitely miss those days too.
She had great videos.
Can we just talk about how gorgeous she is rocking her natural silver/ grey hair?! Stunning!
She totally deserves to be in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame!
Just saw them again after 30 odd years, they both still have it, gave me chills ❤🧡🩷
Both have really taken care of themselves. They look and sound great 40 years after!
@Baby Hunn and you are, who??????? Thought so, nobody! 👍🤣😂
@Baby Hunn Saw her two years ago in Folsom and she sounded just as good as she did when I saw her about 35 years ago in LA. You’ll be her age some day and see if you can still do or look the way you did 35 years ago. You’re just a negative person
@Baby Hunn Kate Bush? 1 hit wonder? lol
Yes, amazing that they have the motor and stamina to perform at their age. I'm 10 years younger. When I thought about attending their show recently, I realized that I didn't really have the stamina to sit through a 2+ hour rock performance.😂
Took care of themselves ? Maybe, more like a excellent cosmetic surgery
Pat and Neil comforted, healed, revitalized and saved me with their music in ways that I can never express. Thank you for being you and for creating such incredible music.
A great couple of rockers!! I get to see them again soon on July 15th in Toledo Ohio. My 5th time seeing them live!! How many grandparents can boast they are still rocking and rolling onstage so many years after they began? Congratulations Pat and Neil on 40 plus years together!!
What a legend she is! Remember rocking out to her fist album in sixth form, aged 16! Loved her ever since.
Neil is one of the most underrated guitarists of the era. His licks are inimitable, his contributions to the instrument and to rock are innumerable. He wasn’t JUST Pat’s guitarist, he also contributed to a bunch of other artists including the guitar on Rick Springfield’s cover of Sammy Hagar’s, I’ve Done Everything for You, that resulted in a hit.
Saw them back in the day and Neil is one amazing guitarist and writer. Pat and Neil are a match made in Heaven.
Also Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl. Rhythm and Lead.
Absolutely - Great Musician and Awesome Guitarist! 👍
My Husband said the exact same thing!!
Lucky for Pat, actress Linda Blair cheated on him
The Romeo and Juliet part of their story is just as powerful as the music.
And yet, those two characters are intended to demonstrate the opposite of a great couple. They're children, and the responsible adults are too wrapped up in petty, violent feuding to notice what's happening. That's why it's a tragedy.
I have been a Pat Benatar fan for as long as I can remember, and have seen her perform live a couple of times. ❤️
She was the first concert I ever went to...she sounded just like her records live. The best female rocker of all time.
Her voice still gives me goosebumps after all these years✨
Intro to, "Love is a Battlefield," is still my jam. Moving from the 1st Whoa.
@@sunii4264 “We Live for Love” for me.
So happy for Pat, that she’s happy, healthy, and still in love with a great guy. From all that I’ve heard about her, she deserves it.
That is totally unbelievable they are not in the rocknroll hall of fame. Their music is so nostalgic for me it me tear up!
In between this video being published and your comment she was inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame.
Saw her in concert about 7 years ago, so this is 25 years past her prime of the 80’s. Honestly, one of the best concerts I’ve experienced, she absolutely rocked. ….I found new respect for her talent after that concert. Go Patty Mae!
She’s still the best and I still love her music this day. My sister and I grew up on every song she sang. Doesn’t matter if she’s not in that silly Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She’s still the boss and her music made us feel like we were invincible.
What a beautiful partnership on so many levels.
Saw Pat and Neil playing at Universal in Orlando the day my sister died. Neil pitched a guitar pick towards me but I dropped it and the guy beside me grabbed it. I guess you can't miss what you never had. Great down to earth people.
I saw them live a couple of years ago. Absolutely fabulous!!
One of the most underrated guitarist and producers of all time, if you’re a guitarist or producer you know.
Totally agree. One of the tastier guitar players of his time, with great speed and technique...he could rock it.
He's the reason why I picked up a guitar in the first place. 25 years later he was gracious enough to sign one of my guitars.
@Kilgh Must have been great to meet your musical inspiration.
@@miketan3398 Yes. It was a very, very lucky coincidence that got me that opportunity. But, was awesome.
He was known as 'spider'.
I never knew anything about her personal life, but after hearing this, I now realize why I really like this woman. LOVED her music in the day, such a strong beautiful voice.
She looks awesome, and why not, she's not like many of the others who burned themselves out, then make excuses for what they became. Nice looking couple too.
I'd def want to see this play, with that music, how can it go wrong, the music itself would give people the thrill they were going for.
Two greats. No one can deny Pat's talent and stage presence and Neil is a guitar great that really never gets the credit he is due. He is up there with Neal Schon, James Young and Jimmy Page.
So happy to see these two so happy and successful. It’s wonderful to see nice people do so well. All the best to them and their family.
I got to see them live twice in 2019. One show, they did just a duo, talking through their history and songs, and it was amazing. The other, they came with a band. Pat has taken care of her instrument (voice) and sounds like an angel, still. Neil is still high energy and, well, perfect. If you get a chance to see them live, go. Worth every penny!
I got to see them in the early 2000's and yes correct they are worth every penny..👍
How are you doing hope you're safe over there??
“Weeeeee belong , we belong, we belong together” I use to sing this all the time as a kid, always loved Pat.
What a phenomenally wonderful story. Both of them should be in the Hall of Fame because of their tremendous works.
Pat Benatar was one of the best female pioneers in the music industry in the late '70's and 80's. She inspired so many women and wow! how she rocked! She has a great voice, great on-stage presence and a talented and loyal husband beside her. 40 years together and that's inspiring too. I wish her luck on her new Broadway venture. I have a feeling she'll come out on top. You can't help but love her!
She looks fantastic. I’m glad she’s not dying her hair black, trying to pull off eternally 39 like many rock stars. She’s a natural.
They're too cool to worry about getting old. As every rocker should be.
She and Emmylou Harris are the epitome of gorgeous silver hair.
@@tjwash5118 On the men's side, Jimmy Page.
The gray hair is pretty recent, she was still dyeing her hair 3 or 4 years ago.
@@basilmarasco1975 Brian May..
They both look awesome. I love the gray hair on her. It's great to see a couple look happy and settled within themselves and each other.
She looks AMAZING. One of the most distinctive and multi octave voices in rock history. I'm also happy her and Neil are still in ❤ and still together.
I love her music! I've been listening to her music since I was teen in the 80's. She is an original one of a kind, just like Bowie, Prince, and more. She should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago! Mic drop!
Pat and Neil are a Powerhouse. I was in high school when I first heard their music and love it ever since.

It’s an absolute travesty that she’s not in the R&RHOF. Who was the idiot that dropped the ball on that?! 😡 She’s a friggin legend!
I agree....Jay Z's in there....a real rocker 🤣!
NOT!!
She will be now.
Who cares?! I wouldn't want be accepted to any club that would have me. She is above them.
They didn'r drop the ball, she refused until they took the rest of the band with her. That is what you call humble.
@@shawnmclean7932 yes she is .
One of the Greatest Voices of Rock n Roll. Wonderful that their LOVE & Respect for each other continues to Shine!
WoW! A solid interview for a wonderful couple! My first ever live concert was Pat, Neil and band performing at the old Carolina Coliseum, Columbia, SC in 1982 on the "Get Nervous" tour. I'm beyond thrilled that they have been married life partners so long. Bless this couple for many, many years of fine rock music!
When so many 80s songs were “please love me, I’ll die without you…” Pat Benatar was a force with powerful “kick down the door” lyrics and arrangements. I love that she didn’t accept casting couch bs or even “fix” her teeth to conform to any industry standards or further her career. Still very refreshing 40 years on. Nice couple - power couple really.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe?
Truth is...She is the major talent here...her husband was just another good-looking journeyman guitarist that she fell for. He got lucky!
@@curbozerboomer1773 So what! She recognizes her partnership with him, and sees his contributions, which are huge.
Nothing is wrong with her teeth.

One of the greatest voices in music history!
Oh please give me a break she's mediocre
“Mediocre”?!?!? No way is that statement true…
@@meandmymonkey5137 She and maybe fifteen others people owned the '80s radio rock genre. I'm not sure what you are considering mediocre. You may not like her, but her career is a matter of of record. It happened.
@@2themoon863 Agreed 100%.
Fantastic singers/songwriters/musicians. The security in their partnership & marriage is Amazing, Inspiring & Beautiful!!! I love these two together.❤❤
They deserve to be in the rock n roll hall of fame! I've loved them since I was a kid!😍
She don’t need that Rock and Roll hall of fame .. she’s at a whole other level 🤩
Pat Benatar still looks good, after all these years. I still love singing her Love is a Battlefield and Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Fire Away).
I've always thought she's one of the sexiest women on the planet. She even rocks the gray hair!
She's 68 here; Neil is 65. I agree they still look very good (the veneers look quite good too), but they do look like they are in their 60s.
Her version of Wuthering Heights gives me chills but can only listen to it once in awhile because I get such an ear worm I can’t even sleep”Heathcliff it’s me I’m Cathy I’ve come home let me in your window”
@@samuelm.5752 they look fantastic for their age.
@@samuelm.5752 Bibibo Bobobo's point is spot on. Of course, they are showing their age. She's almost 70. But, they look very good... for their age.
When I heard her first single and album, I became a fan. Great voice, great songs.
A movement needs to start to get them in the hall of fame!!! They are amazing !!! ❤️
They're the one bright spot in a very dark musical universe. So glad they made it through unscathed... 💜
She was my girl power hero! I am 56 I love this woman.
Love her voice, and they are the epitome of a great rock duo!!
Love them!! They belong together. Pure gold.🙏❤
She NEEDS to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and both recognized for their amazing talent!
Hello Maria
Nobody needs to be in that joke.
No, the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame needs them
I love Pat! The 80s were the best times of my life and every time I hear one of her songs..... those wonderful memories come rushing back!! Thank you Pat !!
How are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Ditto
Fabulous interview!! Listen to and admire Pat Benatar for over 30+ years. Thanks 🤩
This is a great story in which you don't hear about rock 'n roll couples being married this length of time. I'm happy for them both and Pat Benetar was correct in not being too annoyed by the industry not recognizing her as being in the RnR HALL OF FAME! All we fans know she's a legend in our life and will continue to be for decades to come!
I grew up in the 80s to her songs. Till this day, she still kills it.🤩🎸
Same.
Wow what an amazing love story. And as a guitar player I always love the way Neil Giraldo plays guitar. I feel like him changing keys to a higher register for her voice was a benchmark moment. Bravo maestro. Love you both.
One of the best voices in musical history.
I lalaloved every moment of this interview almost as much as I love Neil & Pat! But not more than I love every song THEY created!
There was no better influence in my
life than knowing they sang harmony
in life and music.
They are still doing the same as i am turning 62.
Bravo to you both
I love seein her today. She still has that look in her eyes she had in the 80s. Glad they’re still 2gether and they’re in the right frame of mind and most of all they seem happy.
She definitely deserves to be in the r & r hall of fame more than a lot of people who already are.
Way back in 1979, 1980 ish, I walked into Hastings in Albuquerque NM and heard this great song and voice. On the counter was a Cassette case that said Pat Benatar. I bought it on the spot. I still have it, along with everything else she's done. What a great artist. The memories are priceless. Stevie made it twice, Pat can make it once. She deserves it without question.
