Suzi Quatro (born as Susan Kay Quatrocchio on June 3, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan) grew up in the States, experiencing the rock ‘n’ roll revolution as it happened. She became an icon of the 70’s glam rock era with her tough girl image that went on to influence other female acts that arose in her wake, including The Runaways and L7.

Suzi plays the American originals of songs covered by British artists and many classics that were never allowed to escape onto the airwaves of the BBC during this era.

A talented singer and bass guitarist, trained in classical piano and percussion, she joined her sisters in the 60’s Detroit garage band The Pleasure Seekers whilst still in her teens and never looked back. by the early 70’s Suzi went off to England to work with producer Mickie Most, while her sister Patti joined the all-woman rock band Fanny.

Suzi found herself singing the material of Chinn & Chapman who also were having hits with Sweet. Under their tutelage she had 4 top tens in the UK, but remained mostly unknown in the US.

However in the UK Suzi became a successful solo singer, bassist and songwriter with a string of charting hits throughout the Seventies and Eighties ( notables include: “Can The Can” and “Devil Gate Drive”).

Suzi extended her career to television in 1979 when she guest starred for three seasons on the hit television series Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero, the younger sister of Fonzie’s love interest, Pinky Tuscadero. In 1979, at the height of the disco era, she finally made the US Top Five with the track “Stumblin’ In,” a duet with Chris Norman.

Suzi is AMAZING live. She owns the stage - such a strong presence. Been to a few concerts and never had as much fun as seeing her. Long live the Queen of Rock!

Great to see that the Queen of Rock'n'Roll is still alive and kicking in 2006! I'm rather disappointed that the tracks from Back To The Drive haven't got much listener support over the last month.
