He would end up co-writing many of Ratt’s songs including “Round and Round“, “Wanted Man” and “Lay it Down“. The album Out of the Cellar went to triple platinum based on Crosby’s co-penned “Round and Round”.

Crosby was dating actress Tawny Kitaen (who would go on to appear in several Whitesnake videos) at the time he joined Ratt, and she appears on the album covers of both the Ratt EP (1983) and Out of the Cellar (1984).”
