Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin on September 22, 1958) is an American rock guitarist, singer, producer and actress.
She is best known for her hit single "I Love Rock N' Roll," which was 1. on the Billboard charts from March 20 to May 8, 1982, as well as for her other popular recordings including "Crimson and Clover," "Do You Wanna Touch Me," "Light of Day," "I Hate Myself For Loving You," "Little Liar," and "Love Is All Around." Jett has a mezzo-soprano vocal range.
Jett ran away from home after receiving a call from her boyfriend, who was sleeping with her mother. She took only a picture of a juke box with her boyfriend standing beside it. She then helped form the Runaways
Kim Fowley and Sandy West called her hotel while on the road. Kari Krome (replaced by Micki Steele and later Jackie Fox), Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie completed the line-up. While Currie initially fronted the band, Jett also sang lead vocal, played rhythm guitar and wrote or co-wrote much of the band's material. The band recorded five LPs, with one becoming one of the biggest-selling imports in U.S. and U.K. history. The band toured around the world and some of their opening acts included Cheap Trick, Van Halen and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. They found massive success abroad, especially in Japan.
