Rock 'n' Roll Artists...Suzi Quatro

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~suziq/

Born in Detroit in 1950, Suzi was the one of three daughters of a jazz band leader, Art Quatro. In her late teens, she teamed up with her sisters to form "The Pleasure Seekers", a group that remained together for five years. The group was seen playing in a Detroit club in 1970 by the British recorder producer Mickie Most. He signed her to his new RAK label, and she came to England to work on an album. In 1972, she acted as support act on a Slade tour of England.

Her first single, Rolling Stone, failed to make any great impression on the charts, but her second single, Can The Can raced up the UK charts to number one and remained in the top 30 for more than three months. Devil Gate Drive followed in 1974, after 48 Crash reached number three the year before.

Suzi Quatro is an American singer/songwriter/bass guitarist who came onto the music scene with a string of hits in the mid-1970s. Dressed in leather outfits and playing a bass guitar that all but dwarfed her, she was really one of the very first women to break the mould and play hard and driving rock and roll. Although not that well known in her native America (most of her albums were recorded here in England), she has still been quoted as an inspiration to many of those who came after her including such people as Joan Jett.

In addition to her (for the times) pretty outragous stage persona, she also frequently choose to cover songs from male artists without changing the lyrics, thus giving lesbian overtones to the performance. Amongst the songs she covered were All Shook Up, I Wanna Be Your Man, and Wake Up Little Susie. Her musical range was very considerable from heavy rockers like 48 Crash, I've Never Been In Love Before, and Daytona Demon, to songs with an agressive feminist message like Can The Can and Much Wiser Than You, to power balads such as The Race Is On and The Main Attraction.

Her success continued through the 1970s with an almost constant stream of hits, but by the 1980s the success seemed harder to come by and she started working on other projects including an acting carear. She appeared in an episode of Minder and played Annie in the UK revival of "Annie Get Your Gun" in the late 1980s. She also wrote a musical with Willie Rushton.

In more recent years, she has gone back to recording albums although as yet none of them seem to have achieved chart success. It's a great pity since in so many ways, she showed the world that women could do rock 'n' roll just as well as men and her music still has a drive and message that has so much to say.
