Dancin’ on the Edge by Lita Ford

Dancin' on the Edge is second solo album by Lita Ford. It is also her last release with Mercury Records before she left to sign with RCA Records. This album featured Ford's new back up band made up of drummer Randy Castillo (who later played for Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe), Aldo Nova on keyboards and featured the bassist Hugh McDonald, who is currently the bassist for Bon Jovi. Dancin' on the Edge surpassed the success of her debut Out For Blood in both sales and airplay. Her videos for the singles, "Gotta Let Go" (co-written by Jeff Paris, credited under his real name Geoffrey Leib) and "Dressed to Kill" were also featured in heavy rotation on MTV. The latter video featured a cameo by Ford's then fiancee, Tony Iommi. Ford did heavy touring in support of the album for most of 1984 culminating in a pre- Headbanger's Ball concert special for MTV. The album reached No. 66 of the US Billboard 200 chart. The album resulted in Ford's first nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards in 1985.
