Howard played in the pioneering all-woman rock band Fanny, the first all-woman rock band to release an album on a major label.

Howard starred opposite Klaus Kinski in Aaron Lipstadt's sci-fi film Android and appeared in a few other films, including Somebody to Love with the Screamin' Sirens.

Howard has appeared on many albums as a backing vocalist or percussionist (or both), including Peter Criss's Let Me Rock You, Lynda Carter's Portrait, Jimmy Buffett's Feeding Frenzy, the Pointer Sisters' Break Out, Andrew Ridgeley's Son of Albert, Carole King's In Concert, Electric Light Orchestra's A New World Record, and Ringo Starr's Ringo the 4th. She was also the drummer on Alexander O'Neal's famous video for his single Criticize.

Howard is the mother of Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt.[1]
