WMMR Celebrates Women’s History Month: Week Three
WMMR and Jacky BamBam are celebrating Women’s History Month. We are honoring the female artists who were fundamental in the evolution of everything that rocks.
Every weeknight in March, at 8 pm, Jacky BamBam will turn the spotlight on the music of incredible and influential female rock artists.
Lita Ford
Lita Ford is a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. She was the lead guitarist for the all-female rock band the Runaways in the late 70s and then embarked on a successful glam metal solo career that hit its peak in the late 1980s. The 1989 single “Close My Eyes Forever”, a duet with Ozzy Osbourne, remains Ford’s most successful song, reaching No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
