Original version of Pat Benatar’s Heartbreaker

[whiplash1972]

Done a year before Pat’s version by Jenny Darren. I never knew this existed; I like it. 👍

That's not bad... but the rest of the album... uhh.... nope. Not for me.

Interesting and this version is not much removed from the PB version.

Makes you wonder why this one didn't take off?

So did this Jenny write this song? Or?

Geoff Gill and Cliff Wade

Yeah, the two versions are very similar but Pat's is definitely a lot better.  The production is far superior and Pat is just, well, better.

What I really miss is Neil Giraldo's crazy solo to be honest.

And, if you didn't, he'd tell you that's what you should be missing.

Jenny's version just sounds way more mid to late 70's, Pat's is early 80's all the way.
