One of my guilty pleasures in life is watching CBS Sunday Morning, curled up on the couch with a hot cup of coffee. This past Sunday featured an update on Pat Benatar's rock love story. The update was a full circle moment. The story was capped with the news that she will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Eligible since 2000, she and husband Nick Giraldo have only been nominated one time in the last 22 years. She has been very clear that the nomination be a package deal. Perhaps that is why it has taken so long?

Even if you are not a huge Pat Benatar fan, her story of success is a fascinating one. Not only how she rose to the top, but also how she did it with the man she loved. And their marriage continues to endure. Check out Pat Benatar's rock love story as seen on CBS Sunday Morning, the best news show on the planet, in my humble opinion.

I had no idea what inspired her famous leotard look until watching this. In addition, I just love her fierce attitude and her courage to stand up for what was best and right for her at the time. Well deserved spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Another recent artist feature on CBS Sunday Morning focused on Lionel Ritchie. It went back to his time with The Commodores and as a solo artist. He seems like one of the nicest guys too.

However, back to Benatar. Taking a look back, here are her top five most memorable music videos to entertain you today.

Love Is A Battlefield

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Promises In The Dark

We Belong
