By the time Ford returned again, the lighter pop-metal she had long favored had broken through to mainstream audiences, which set the stage for her most commercially successful album, 1988′s Lita. With Sharon Osbourne as her manager, and again produced by herself, the album featured four commercial hits, including “Kiss Me Deadly”, “Back To The Cave”, “Close My Eyes Forever”, and “Falling In And Out Of Love” (co-written with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe). The ballad “Close My Eyes Forever”, a duet with Ozzy Osbourne, was her only Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit, reaching #8.
Her next release was called Stiletto. It featured the singles “Hungry” and “Lisa” (the second was dedicated to her mother). However this album was not as successful as Dancin’ On The Edge and Lita.
Ford’s next release was Dangerous Curves, which featured her last charting single “Shot Of Poison”. Ford’s last release would be with ZYX Records and would be titled Black. It failed to repeat the success of 1991′s Dangerous Curves.
During her solo years, she was an endorser of B.C. Rich guitars and used Warlock, Eagle, Mockingbird and Bich single and double-neck models.
