Notes: Liner Note Author: Scott Kempner. Photographers: Jeffrey Mayer; Lynn Goldsmith; Matthew Rolston; Neal Preston. Unknown Contributor Role: Pat Benatar. Issued in 2008, ULTIMATE COLLECTION is a well-selected two-disc set of Pat Benatar's finest moments. The 40-track anthology draws heavily from the Brooklyn-born singer's 1980s heyday, featuring such hits as the hard-rocking "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and the passionate "Love Is a Battlefield." Other highlights include the Blondie-like "We Live for Love" and the dramatic "Invincible," tracks that showcase Benatar's impressive vocal range and her knack for crafting catchy New Wave pop.

The siren-voiced Pat Benatar leapt onto the music scene in the late '70s, when hard rock was still pretty much a boys' club. She made a strong impression. On in-your-face hits like "Heartbreaker" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Benatar issued challenges to bad-boy lovers, and her tough-gal image was bolstered through dramatic videos on MTV for a string of hits including "We Belong" and the powerful "Love is a Battlefield." But Benatar was always much more than an image, as the many strong compositions in her songbook attest.
