Lita Ford (born Lita Rossana Ford on September 19, 1958, in London, England) burst onto the rock scene as the lead guitarist for the pioneering all-female band The Runaways. With hits like "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways laid the foundation for Lita Ford and other female rockstars including Joan Jett. After the group disbanded, Ford began a successful solo career, now spanning several decades. Her 1988 hit "Kiss Me Deadly" became an anthem of its era, while her soul-stirring duet with Ozzy Osbourne, "Close My Eyes Forever," showcased her versatility and became a chart-topping ballad. The track "Falling in and Out of Love," co-written with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, further cemented her reputation as a rock powerhouse. Throughout her career, Lita Ford broke boundaries, proving that women could dominate in the male-centric world of rock and roll, and remains an inspiration for aspiring female musicians everywhere.
