SELECTIONS FROM: PAT BENATAR / CRIMES OF PASSION
|
When Pat Benatar signed her first record deal, there was no road map for a female singer looking to compete in rock music as if it were a level playing field. She had an artistic vision but no ability to articulate it in a studio environment, and that made the recording of her debut (In the Heat of the Night) a struggle. Initial sessions were professional but without spark, and she later reflected that she feared at the time, “I was finished before I’d even started.” Her second album, Crimes of Passion was released on August 5, 1980, and was an unqualified success that would eventually sell more than 5 million copies. At its peak in January 1981, Crimes of Passion reached #2 on the album chart. It also carved out Benatar’s position as the most prominent female solo act in rock, affirmed by her taking home in February of that year the first of what would be four consecutive Grammys for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
