Cherie Currie: The Runaways are one of my favorite bands of all time. I wrote about Joan Jett a while back however, each "Runaway" has her own unique story. Cherie Currie rose to major rock stardom as the teenage lead vocalist for the now legendary all female rock band, "The Runaways", which also included Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West & Jackie Fox. The classic teen rock anthem "Cherry Bomb" was written for her when she auditioned for the band. Cherie was just 15, when she became The Runaways lead singer. Bomp Magazine described her as "the lost daughter of Iggy Pop and Brigitte Bardot." Cherie recorded three albums with the group.
