Pat Benatar - Fire and Ice
BackOoo, you're givin' me the fever tonight I don't wanna give in I'd be playin' with fire You forget, I've seen you work before Take `em straight to the top Leave `em cryin' for more I've seen you burn `em before Chorus: Fire and Ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You'll just tear it apart Movin' in for the kill tonight You got every advantage when they put out the lights It's not so pretty when it fades away Cause it's just an illusion in this passion play I've seen you burn `em before (Chorus) So you think you got it all figured out You're an expert in the field, without a doubt But I know your methods inside and out And I won't be takin' in by Fire and Ice (Chorus) You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice I wanna give you my love But you'll just take a little piece of my heart You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice You come on like a flame Then you turn a cold shoulder Fire and Ice __________________ Pat Benatar (born Patricia Mae Andrzejewski on 10 January 1953) is an influential, four-time Grammy Award-winning American rock singer with six platinum and four gold albums to her credit, as well as 19 Top 40 singles. Pat Benatar was born Patricia Mae Andrzejewski (AND-zhe-YEV-skee) in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, to a Polish family. Andrzejewski initially studied voice and opera, following in the footsteps of her mother while growing up in Lindenhurst, New York, on Long Island. After graduating in 1971 from Lindenhurst High School, Andrzejewski married her high school sweetheart Dennis Benatar that same year and took his name. Once in New York, Benatar began to pursue her singing career in earnest. She was discovered at an amateur-night contest in 1977 at the New York City comedy club Catch a Rising Star. After performing successfully several times at the club, Benatar finally found her on-stage persona in the form of a wild Halloween costume, Catwoman, which she had worn as a joke. In several interviews, Benatar recounted her realization for the new audience reaction: "The crowd was always polite, but this time they went out of their minds. It was the same songs, sung the same way, and I thought, 'Oh my god...it's these clothes and this makeup!'" Because of that performance, she was signed to Chrysalis Records by its founder Terry Ellis. Benatar divorced in 1979 and married band leader/lead guitarist Neil Giraldo February 20, 1982. The Giraldos have two daughters: Haley Egeana born February 16, 1985, and Hana Juliana born March 12, 1994. Pat Benatar won an unprecedented four consecutive Grammy Awards for "Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female" from 1980 to 1983 for Crimes of Passion, "Fire And Ice," "Shadows Of The Night," and "Love Is A Battlefield," and was nominated four more times: "Invincible" in 1985, "Sex As A Weapon" in 1986, "All Fired Up" in 1988 and in 1989 for "Let's Stay Together." Benatar also earned Grammy Award nominations in 1985 for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female with "We Belong" and in 1986 for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Duo or Group as a member of Artists United Against Apartheid for their single "Sun City." Benatar is also the winner of three American Music Awards: Favorite Female Pop/Rock Vocalist of 1981 and 1983, and Favorite Female Pop/Rock Video Artist of 1985. She was twice named Rolling Stone magazine's Favorite Female Vocalist, and Billboard magazine ranks her as the most successful female rock vocalist of all time based on overall record sales and the number of hit songs and their charted positions. Benatar was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007. Benatar's first (and as yet only) U.S. chart-topper was the LP Precious Time, released in August 1981. It was also her first to chart in the UK, reaching #30. The album's lead single, "Fire and Ice", was another big hit (U.S. #17, AUS #30) and would win Benatar her second Grammy Award, this time for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance" of 1981. Precious Time is the third album from Pat Benatar, released in 1981. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 and produced hits like "Fire and Ice" and "Promises in the Dark".
