A little History about Pat and Neil. According to All Music, Pat Benatar was a classically trained singer who took on the rock world when women were the reason rock songs were written. Mike Chapman recommended that Neil Giraldo hook up with Benatar. Giraldo's fiery guitar playing complemented Benatar's vocals perfectly, as the new group quickly gelled. A string of hit albums (1979's In the Heat of the Night, 1980's Crimes of Passion, 1981's Precious Time, and 1982's Get Nervous) and singles ("I Need a Lover," "Heartbreaker," "Hit Me with Your Best Shot," "Fire and Ice," "Shadows of the Night") helped establish Benatar as one of the most popular female vocalists in all of rock during the early '80s. With each subsequent release, Giraldo's presence became stronger behind the scenes as well -- he served as songwriter and producer. 1982 would go down as one of the most memorable in Benatar and Giraldo's career, both professionally and personally, as the two were wed in February.

Due to his success with Benatar, Giraldo began lending his guitar talents to recordings by other artists, including Rick Springfield (Working Class Dog) and Kenny Loggins (High Adventure), in addition to producing the solo debut by John Waite, Ignition.
