Dancin' on the Edge is second solo studio album by English/American rock musician

Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.[4]

Overview

Ford's second solo release after leaving The Runaways in 1979, Dancin' on the Edge features the debut of her new backing band, featuring drummer Randy Castillo, who would soon join Ozzy Osbourne's band, and bassist Hugh McDonald, who later joined Bon Jovi (McDonald had previously played with Jon Bon Jovi in the All Star Revue; the group that recorded the hit "Runaway.") Dancin' on the Edge surpassed the success of Ford's debut album Out For Blood in both sales and airplay.

UK Singles Chart. The music video for "Dressed to Kill" featured a cameo from Ford's then-fiancée, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. Ford toured relentlessly in support of the album for most of 1984, culminating in a pre-Headbangers Ball
concert special recorded for MTV.
