PAT BENATAR AT BARNES & NOBLE

After turning down Juilliard, Pat Benatar (née Andrzejewski) spent years as a lounge singer in Richmond and New York before getting a record deal and becoming the first female artist on MTV, which beamed her New Wave style into living rooms across America. Her new memoir, Between a Heart and a Rock Place, describes all these stories as well as Benatar's 28-year marriage to guitarist Neil Giraldo.
