Pat Benatar made her debut in 1979 - a hard rocking solo woman act who debuted just as music videos were taking off.
This was her second single, and the first of hers to hit the pop charts - reaching the top 30 in early 1980, while also sticking around for more than four months. Is it her most recognizable song? No, of course not. But without "Heartbreaker", a great, hard-rocking song that also hit it big on rock radio - we might not have all the rest of the Pat Benatar early catalog that helped launch MTV.
You know I always love to put a live nugget into these posts. I felt the duet Benatar did with the country version of Pat Benatar - Martina McBride - was a good choice.
No word if the country fans watching became apoplectic, but the fans in the audience loved it.
