Today in Music History - 1975 - The Runaways formed. Their first album (1976) gave us "Cherry Bomb."
Consisting of Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Cherie Currie, Jackie Fox, and Sandy West.
Joan Jett composed the song with Kim Fowley, the band's then-manager. In the documentary Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways (2005), Fowley and former Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie claimed that "Cherry Bomb" was quickly written just for Currie to audition for the band because the band members could not perform the song she originally chose to sing.
