Glam at it's best - great song. I saw her in leather at Reading in 83 - well, she was in full leather and i merely had a leather jacket. She went down very well with the mixed audience of bikers, punks and angels.
I wanna say 73 , She was gorgeous , she played Bass and then there was the leather 1 piece jump suit … as a budding young male what more did you need ?? 🤯 She was briefly married to the guitarist in the band btw 👍🏴
My dear older brother was 14 in 1975 and was a Huge Suzi Q fan with every other teenage boy at that time; and so it was drummed into me. Great reaction guys, I enjoyed that. And I still have his albums. 😁
My Big Bro had a massive poster of her in the 70's. On the ceiling, above his bed; It clicked with me only many years later why in that one of all places 😅
Loved Suzi Q. As an Australian, I always saw Chrissy Amphlett as a latter day Oz. version of Suzi. If you haven't reviewed her, she was the lead for a band called the Divinyl's. For me their early numbers .....Boys in Town and Pleasure and Pain had that raunchy sound.
"Can the Can" was the first album I bought. To this day it is still the best Produced album I've experienced. It has a very natural and organic sound. Alistair McKenzie the original Keyboard player passed away 26th June 2015 Dave Neal the original Drummer passed away 20th Nov. 2020 Len Tuckey the Guitarist is the father of Suzi's children. SUZI QUATRO is the true QUEEN of ROCK n ROLL. She is Touring Australia again in 2025. "I have been touring in Australia regularly since 1974, and have actually lost count of how many times I have been here, but I think this tour will be number 29. It is my second home and I love it dearly. This year I celebrated my 50th year in the business and it just felt like the right time to take my final bow. It's a daunting prospect and one I am preparing seriously for. I want this to be a night to remember in every way….tears, laughter and lots of rock and roll. This has been my life. Nobody in the world rocks as hard as the Aussies….and from me that's what they're gonna get….foot on the gas and go. So looking forward to this tour, love Suzi xxxx"
Yes it is Chinn & Chapman, they created a bunch of hit singles for Sweet, Smokie , Mud and many more. Mike Chapman produced later the breakthrough albums from Blondie and The Knack.
Thank you for doing this suggestion, it's always appreciated. Suzy Quatro was excellent, she started out in a group with her sisters called, 'The Pleasure Seekers', they toured the U.S.A. in the late '60s, Arlene Quatro organ/keyboards, Suzy Quatro lead vocals, Darline Arnone drums, Eileen Biddlingmeier bass, Patti Quatro guitar.
Suzie is the undisputed Queen of Rock. From the Chinn Chapman stable so great tunes and production. Got along really well with Sweet. Fun fact. Suzie, Andy Scott from Sweet and Don Powell from Slade have done some recording as QSP - worth a listen.
A story. A few years ago we went to a premiere of Suzi's biopic. She was there! Did a Q and A afterwards. She's still got it. My partner's first album in the 70s was Can the Can. She met Suzi and she kindly signed the album. Great night. Biopic is great.
OMG...this brings back memories of walking around the streets as a kid with a " portable cassette player" with this playing (the album) until the batteries ran out....which wasn't very long!!@@@ ....i had a mad crush on her 😳😳
I grew up listening to good old Suzi and Len and Suzi in Happy Day's she has been to Australia so many times I've lost count almost every years in the last 40 years I would think I even saw here at the Sommerville Pub in 77 with my first wife
Most of her hits are credited to Mike Chapman, Nicky Chinn (collectively known as Chinny Chap). Aussie Mike Chapman actually wrote the songs and Chinn took care of the business side Chapman would go on also to write hits for Toni Basil, Tina Turner, and others, and to produce albums notably Blondie's breakthrough "Parallel Lines" where his production techniques built up "Heart of Glass" to be a disco hit Unfortunately his name is so similar to the guy who shot John Lennon
Like Status Quo, once you hear a Suzi Quatro song you pretty much know what all the rest of her singles are like (although she did do a very 70s ballad duet with Smokie's Chris Norman in the song Stumblin' In). That's either a good thing or a bad thing. Definitely if you're looking for a high energy dance song, Suzi is a good go-to. If you watched a lot of Happy Days, Suzi did a few guest appearances as 'Leather' Tuscadero, sister of Fonzie's on-again off-again long time girlfriend 'Pinkie' Tuscadero. If I recall correctly, Suzi may have 'performed' a song or two on the show.
We were so young when we watched Happy Days, yet we still remember seeing a girl who looked like Suzi. Not much else remains of her in our memories of that show.
@@hanierfamily Yeah, some of those guest appearances were limited. Others went on to bigger things. I think Tom Hanks may have gotten a boost to his career by appearing in Happy Days.
@@0utcastAussie Yeah, I qualified it with saying that her singles were pretty similar. All the big ones like Devilgate Drive, Can The Can, 48 Crash (all #1 hits in Oz) and her cover of The Wild One were all pretty much tapping the same vein, and why not - she’d found a great rock formula. She’s had such a long career I’m sure she had other styles as you say, but I couldn’t speak to them as I just knew the hits.
Suzi had quite a few hits elsewhere in the world before she joined the US cast of Happy Days to play Leather Tuscedero. That has only been a small part of her career. She has put out around 17 albums and 1 documentary. She tours everywhere except for the US where she was not taken seriously enough by the US DJ's back in 1970's to play her songs that were hits in other countries due to the fact she played bass and she was a woman fronting a rock band with three men supporting her. It was a huge loss for the US not to take on Suzi Quatro's early material.
I remember when this got to # 1 in Australia. Still strange how Australia doesn't recognise the success of Mike Chapman. Most of Australia's treasures were born elsewhere, yet here's a born and raised Queenslander that wrote and produced a string of number ones and nobody in his own country knows who he is.
Yes you are right Chris…. A lot of these early hits were Chinn/ Chapman productions…. Along with the other bands mentioned…. Suzi had many hits .. Devil Gate Drive, Daytona Demon, Too Big, Tear me Apart,The Wild One, if you can’t give me love.
I should also note that Suzi is a much better bass player than many would give her credit for, and she's still out touring. There's a video on UA-cam of her doing a bass solo a few decades back, and although it's a little messy with an old school fuzz sound, it's got lots of rock n roll pizazz that the crowd would have loved, and given how low-slung the bass is it's a pretty decent effort at the speed she's going. Bass is a lot easier to play fast/accurate if you don't have the instrument halfway down your knees (but low-slung looks cooler), so it might not be apparent to the casual viewer, but it's better than most might think.
Yep, I've seen Suzi live, and her bass solo is epic, she is not too bad at slapping. The guitarist with long sideburns is Len Tucky, was her husband at the time. My birthday is just a few days before Christmas, my mum bought me 2 albums for birthday and 2 for Christmas. I picked 2 by Queen and 2 by Suzi, and I have loved both bands since! Suzi is not only a bassist, but she can play piano too, and even in her 70's, she is still pretty hot!!
Suzy Quatro was glam rock n roll. The style of drumming was signature glam, like gary glitter and slade sweet and a host of others…..Bowie and Roxy music were always called glam because of how they appeared physically. But they were their own universe. I was listening to all of them at that time. I think the first Suzi Quatro album is brilliant and always have.@@Veronica4u2day

Damn Suzi was my soundtrack to my teenage years she was fantastic
Suzi was the inspiration for Joan Jett in the 90's & is still playing concerts to this day. Great songs
Not only in the 90's but already in the 70's with The Runaways! Even had the same hairstyle! 😀

I was 13 years old thinking; she is pretty good on the eyes and could play bass. Considering the context of 1973, what a pioneer. Well done SQ.

Suzi Quattro aka Leather Tuscadaro from Happy Days was a huge influence on Joan Jett. Suzis style and Sound you see later in Joan Jett
I bought her first singles. My friend Gerry does her sound now. I was 11 when this came out. Leather cat suit? Yes. I was never sexually confused.
THINKS SHES GREAT, USED TO PLAY HER A LOT WHEN I WAS DJ IN THE 70s. FOUND A SONG. THE SHOW MUST GO ON. LEO SAYER V THREE DOG NIGHT 😊
I used to love this as a kid
Suzi is great on an acostic guitar, but her fans wanted her on bass. Have you heard Devil gate Drive?
