Sandy Pesavento 
      American musician (b. 1959, Los Angeles, Calif.—d. Oct. 21, 2006, San Dimas, Calif.), used her powerful drumming to ignite the influential all-female rock band the Runaways, which she founded in 1975 with Joan Jett. The group became known for such hard-driving hit anthems as “Cherry Bomb” and “Born to Be Bad” before it disbanded in 1979. She then formed her own group, the Sandy West Band, but it was not a success.
