Shadows of the Night-Pat Benatar

You know alot of credit goes to women singers like Chrissy Hyne, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Dusty Springfield, etc...and rightfully so they are awesome performers. I think one of the most forgotten of these women performers is Pat Benatar. I posted this video because this is one of my all time favorite songs. If you don't think this lady could belt it out listen to the chorus. She layered all of the voices in the chorus. Check out all the ranges she uses to make it work. I think because she had her most success in the 80's that she has been discounted in some circles. I hope to change that.

She is kind of a forgotten singer, but my heart will always belong to Chrissy Hynde. She just rock out like no other woman ever has. Benatar is the bettertechnical singer, but Chrissy just rocks!
