The TOP 100 Greatest Ever ROCK Frontmen: Doro.

Annnnddddd… here she comes! In at "Stronger than a mountain of steel, faster than Hell on wheels". Witches and Warlocks, may I present the blonde pocket-rocket of metal, Doro!

Dorothee Pesch, known as Doro, is a German heavy metal singer-songwriter, and former frontwoman of the heavy metal band Warlock ('82-'88). Dubbed the 'Queen of Heavy Metal', Doro's contributions to music made her a global figure in metal culture for over three decades.

She started her career in garage bands in native Dusseldorf underground scene and achieved media visibility and some commercial success with Warlock in the 1980s. Warlock were starting to have an opening in the U.S. market, when they went through many line-up changes and Doro was left the only original member of the band.

She started a solo career under the name Doro, and released two albums in the US, but they were not the breakthrough that she hoped.

During the rise of grunge and alternative rock in the 1990s, her record label relegated her productions only to the European region, where she continued to tour extensively. She remained a successful charting artist in Germany, despite living and producing her albums in the US. When classic heavy metal found again the favour of the public, she returned to tour all over the world and her popularity as a veteran singer grew considerably, inspiring many new female metal artists.

Doro is also known for her duets, including with Lemmy Kilmister, Twisted Sister and Saxon. To this date, she has released SEVENTEEN studio albums, the latest being Forever Warriors, Forever United in 2018.

Doro's trademark clothing is black with her rarely being seen in any other colour. Her stage-clothes are handmade using synthetic materials which imitate leather after the singer's adhesion to PETA. She also supports the non-profit organisation Terre des Femmes, which helps women and girls in need all over the world.

If you're hoping to marry this beautiful woman, you're outta luck. Doro has forgone marriage and children to concentrate on her career. You'll have to buy her posters instead (wait, can you still buy posters of rockstars??).

If you're new to Doro, check out 'Love Me in Black' (ballad), 'Cool Love', 'Hear Me' and 'Ceremony'. And enjoy the video to 'All We Are' with Warlock… some classic 80s fantasy fun! Judging by her popularity, Doro looks like she'll be around 'Fur Immer'.
