The platinum-certified debut, In The Heat Of The Night, initially landed in 1979, effectively introducing Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo to the world. It notably boasts anthemic hits such as “Heartbreaker,” “I Need A Lover,” and “We Live For Love.”

Just a year later, Benatar and Giraldo returned with Crimes Of Passion in 1980. It reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and went quadruple platinum. In addition to housing hits “You Better Run” and “Treat Me Right,” it included the signature smash “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” which went Top 10 in the United States. The album marked their first GRAMMY Award win for “Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female.”

1981’s Precious Time bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 and touted “Promises In The Dark” and “Fire And Ice,” notching their second straight GRAMMY Award in the category of “Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female.” The record also went double platinum.
