Maybe I'm wrong, but can't imaging many Pat Benatar's fans having an "emotional connection." Stevie connected with her fans in a unique way, starting with Fleetwood Mac and reinforcing it with a successful solo career.

There's so many factors that have contributed to Stevie's success and longevity.

1.) The soap opera aspect of Fleetwood Mac.
2.) The MUSIC and SUCCESS of Fleetwood Mac.
3.) A successful solo career
4.) The fact that she has had success with Fleetwood Mac AND solo, late in her career. The Dance (huge success), TISL (moderate success), as well as various #1 dance hits in the last few years.
5.) The fact that Stevie's lyrics were unique, as were her style and voice.
