Song #298: "Promises In The Dark"--Pat Benatar (1981)

We haven't heard from Pat in about five months, but the former singer/waitress in Richmond some years ago returns with a song from her "Precious Time" LP. Actually, the title track from this album was under consideration for the countdown for a time.

Today's song was the second single from the album, following "Fire and Ice". Great, almost intense pacing on this song, which features the unbelievable range of Benatar, not just in octaves, but in styles, too.

Benatar has five total tracks in our Top 500, so we'll hear from her again, and again before it's all over. From the Fall of 1981, here's a song classic rock radio should play a lot more often, "Promises In The Dark".
