Pat Benatar “Get Nervous” released on this date, October 29th, 1982. Mostly straight-up hard-rocking music but also mixing in a fair amount of that early 80′s new wave keyboard sound, Get Nervous – Benatar’s fourth album – hit #4 on the US album charts. Benatar’s first single from the LP, “Shadows of the Night” was originally written by D.L. Byron for a film in 1980 (it didn’t make it into the movie). In 1981 both Helen Schneider and Rachel Sweet released their versions of “Shadows of the Night.” (Schneider’s was a fairly big hit in Germany and isn’t that different from Benatar’s; Sweet’s is more soaring and heavy on the tambourine, saxophone and plinky piano.) But it was Pat Benatar’s rendition, a slow tempo tensioned rocker, that was a hit, going to #13 in the US and earning her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Her other singles also did pretty well: the bad-ass “Little Too Late” went to #20 and “Looking for a Stranger” snuck into the Top 40 at #39.
