Pat
Benatar's top hits and signature album cuts have been gathered for a
new 2-CD and digital release, Pat Benatar: Ultimate Collection, to be
released June 24 by Capitol/EMI. Among the collection's 40 tracks,
totaling more than two hours of music, are 20 Top 40 chart hits,
including "Heartbreaker," "Love Is A Battlefield," "Hit Me With Your
Best Shot," "Fire And Ice," "Invincible," and "We Belong."
Benatar will tour to more than 40 cities across North America
this summer, performing her top hits and fan favorites. The tour begins
May 16 at Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival in Richardson, TX and
includes stops at Detroit's Rockin' On The Riverfront festival and
Milwaukee's Summerfest, in addition to headlining concerts in Chicago,
Houston, San Francisco and other cities in the U.S. and Canada.
Pat Benatar first burst into international music
circles with her 1979 smash, "Heartbreaker." When MTV began beaming
into America's living rooms in 1980, the Buggles' "Video Killed The
Radio Star" was the first music video to be broadcast by the network.
hit cover of the Young Rascals' "You Better
Run" was the second. As she sang "We Belong," the decade belonged to
Benatar, who took home an unprecedented four consecutive Grammy Awards
for Best Female Rock Performance and racked up six consecutive Platinum
and three Gold RIAA sales certifications for the nine albums she
released between 1979 and 1989, selling tens of millions of albums
around the world.
The diversity of Benatar's fanbase today, a
global audience encompassing baby boomers and their Gen X and Gen Y
descendents, reflects her music's vast and enduring appeal. Her strong
yet vulnerable vocal missives, whether hurled or gently swept over her
band's solid rock arrangements, sound as fresh and 'now' today as they
did when they were first recorded. Pat Benatar has inspired new
generations of musicians as varied as her audience, and her music is an
essential entry in the American rock canon.
