Brad_M Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 RE: Q#8 MJ, I couldn't find any info about Pat Benatar's daughter Haley releasing any recordings. All I found was that she was in an all girl band called "Glo" and that they toured with her mom. If you have any additional info, please send me the link so I can check it out. Thanks.
