Pat Benatar turns 63 on January 10, and we figure the best celebration is an education on this Brooklyn-born woman of rock.

 

Here’s some more quick tidbits;

1. Her full name is Patricia Mae Andrzejewski.

2. She was the first female artist to play on MTV, when she performed “You Better Run”.

3. Liza Minnelli can be partically credited for Benatar’s career – after attending Liza’s concert Benatar quit her job as a bank teller to chase her singing career.

4. “We Belong” was featured in the films Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Blue Valentine, and Pitch Perfect 2. It was also featured in the popular video game Grand Theft Auto.
