One of deuce solo stars to spring from the ashes of the '70s all-girl hard rock banding the Runaways, Lita Ford has long been a more frustrative, contradictory proposition for critics than former fellow Joan Jett. Ford is subtly feminist in her melodic access, displaying guitar heroics on the level of any male metal hero; the mere fact of her existence in the otherwise testosterone-driven operose metal genre has made her a hero to some, only her theatrical role has much been criticized as calculated to invoke to male adolescent sexual fantasies, simply embodying the standard wild-girl stereotypes of many male metallic element artists' lyrics. When she has the material to back her up, though, Ford is inarguably capable of rocking out sharply and assertively.


Henry Ford II was born on September 19, 1958, in London, emigrating to the U.S. as a offspring child. She began playing the guitar at age 11; just five days later, she linked the Kim Fowley-produced Runaways, an all-female design designed to commix the aggression of simple-minded, punkey hard rock with teenage bad-girl sexuality invoke. When the lot dissolved, Ford took voice lessons and embarked on a solo career, encouraging herself through a variety of jobs (gasoline station attender, essence salesperson, fitness instructor, styler, etc.). She released her debut album, Out for Blood, in 1983; it was followed the next year by Dancin' on the Edge.


Zilch was heard from Ford for the next four-spot long time; the reexamination to Dancin' on the Edge, coroneted The Bride Wore Black, was abandoned and never released, as Ford switched from Mercury to RCA. By the clip Ford returned, the igniter pop-metal she had long favourite had broken through to mainstream audiences, which set the point for her most successful album, 1988's Lita. Slickly produced by Mike Chapman, the record album featured Ford's number one hit, the number 12 "Kiss Me Deadly"; its followup, a duette with Ozzy Osbourne entitled "Close My Eyes Forever," provided both artists with their first base Top Ten single.


Ford notable her newfound success with a union to W.A.S.P. guitar player Chris Holmes, only regrettably, this, like her commercial success, would be transitory. Follow-up efforts wish 1990's Stiletto and 1991's Unsafe Curves failed to check the popcraft of Lita, and Ford launch herself without a label afterward alternative's explosion in the early '90s.
