Love Suzi Quatro , she played Leather Tuscadero 7 times in the Iconic US Sitcom Happy Days

She sure did, love that show.

[@Daencer01]

Yes, Amber, it was nice to be a child in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, no internet, no mobile phone, no X-box and we were out and about in the afternoon without our parents knowing where we were and we still came home healthy and everyone has Listening to the music he liked and then going to the children's disco on Saturdays had a great time. And yes, as someone here said, Susi comes from Detroit in the USA, but she became a star in England and Europe where she now lives with her German husband in equal parts in England and in Hamburg. And she's still got it even at over 70 greeting from Germany

[@scottyh8494]

We also love Suzi in Australia this got to No 1 on the charts, so did Can the Can.

[@docsmellyfella]

As a 6/7 year old kid i loved Suzi. I once saw an interview with Alice Cooper who said she could drink all the guys under the table and you really didn't want to get in a fight with her.

[@timcook6566]

And coming from Alice, that’s saying a LOT

[@aaronbarlow4376]

She was a small woman, she couldn't beat up the average guy. However fighting a girl is always a lose/lose situation, if you lose, you lost to a woman, if you win you beat up a woman lol. I think Alice meant she's tenacious and doesn't back down so it's a bad situation for the guy.

[@danplantman62]

I remember when I bought the single Stumblin In back in the day and never heard anything else except for today.Thats why I love this channel be cause the younger generations get to hear and love all these great classics and I get to hear songs I missed backed in the day for the first time in 45 yrs.

[@markthomas2577]

Suzi was American but I don't think she had much success until she moved to the UK in the early 70s,. and had a string of hits over here. She's probably best known in America for being in Happy Days, the sitcom

[@fayesouthall6604]

She did musicals in the U.K. I remember being taken to a performance of Annie Get Your Gun when I was young and she was the lead

[@andymageen5308]

I always looked forward to seeing her on Top of the Pops. ✌️

[@lchris33]

Probably true. I do remember the Happy Days character and knew the name but this might be the first time I've seen/heard her sing. A shame, as she has a great sound and lots of energy.

[@peterflynn2111]

Here in Australia was her most succesful charting ; 4 number 1s here

[@graemeturner2536]

When Suzie first toured Australia in 1974 she was met at the Airport in Sydney by hundreds of Bikers. They gave her a motor cycle escort from the airport to her hotel in the city. When one reporter asked one of the bikers why they had done this, his answer was simple. He said "All Bikers Love Rock n Roll and Suzi Play's Great Rock n Roll.

[@markjarzabek7564]

I also saw Suzi I the 70s in Sydney 3rd row. What a concert

[@keithcarper8809]

I saw Suzi when she opened for Alice Cooper. She was 5 ft of dynamite in a white leather jumpsuit. 🔥 She was pure energy. ☮💜🎶

[@jenniferpickering7808]

I saw the same thing, in Vancouver Canada!! so fun.

[@aussiemal8701]

May 1974, Suzi Quatro toured Australia. I was 14yo and it was my first rock concert. The "Can The Can" album was the play list. Thanks for the memory.

[@Mal_1908]

That was Suzi's first tour of Australia. It's incredible to think next March will be her 39th tour down under.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Suzi was a crush when I was about 7-8 years old. She was so cool. She was one of the first bad ass, kick ass rock chics. Before there was Joan Jett there was Suzi Quatro. She could jam.

[@ythomitnellum]

You and me both sir, Suzi followed by Deborah Harry a few years later were a great way of bonding with my father 😉

[@Itelkner]

Suzi paved the way and her albums and hits are incredibly great rock 'n' roll.

[@iangudgin6536]

While Suzi is American, (just like Blondie), they had to come over to the U.K. to find their first success. Suzi had British writers and producers and a U.K. record label. She eventually performed both sides of the Atlantic but she made the U.K. home.

[@rossdownes4240]

Your words could be used also in relation to one of the GOATs of guitar playing Jimi Hendrix who had to go to England to get famous.

[@PedroConejo1939]

Same for so many musicians. My mind immediately went to Stray Cats.

Suzie is finally getting her flowers! For anyone who is interested, there is a fab documentary out at the moment dealing not only with her beginnings but how many musicians she has influenced. This wasn't just a persona that she put on for a show. This is who she is. It was great to hear this today, it gave my spirit a much needed lift. ❤

First time heard that was on an episode of Happy Days!

[@sandrabeaumont9161]

I actually met her a few times. She used to shop at the Department Store where I worked, I was a delivery driver for them. She wasn't at all 'the big I am' as we say. Because of her fame she used to enter the store through the loading bay where I would sometimes be where I was loading or unloading my lorry with furniture. Took her hand and pulled her up onto the loading bay a couple of times. Even delivered to her a few times. She lived on the outskirts of the next town where I lived. Lovely lady.

[@paranormalinpdx]

She's so cool, rocking still at 73 too Rember seeing her as a kid on Happy Days. Amber is correct we had a bit more freedom but we still got in trouble :D

[@patrickdowdle5121]

Suzi was huge in Australia and we loved her down here . She is just the classic hard rocking , belt it out " Rock Chick " For a front lady of such small stature , she had a massive voice . I grew up in the time of great rock music and Suzi was without a doubt , the ruling Queen of them all

[@surlechapeau]

Jay/Amber, You'll love Suzi's "If You Can't Give Me Love" and "Rock Hard"!!!! She's one of the earliest female rockers to sing AND play an instrument(bass).

I have long been a fan of Suzi, and thanks to your channel have just listened to Suzi Quatro - Back To The Drive, Now you guys really do have to listen to, and react to it, it is a ROCK classic. But don't forget her softer side, "If You Can't GIve Me Love" and "She's In Love With You". God bless you both.

There is an interview on YT called Suzie Quatro turns down Elvis where she talks about it. There are no doubt many others as well. If you liked this song you would enjoy "Your mama wont like me" cheers and thanks again.

She did a great duet with Chris Norman (Smokie) called Stumbling In. Hope you also do more Smokie especially their iconic Living Next Door to Alice also next more Suzi Quatro songs such as Daytona Demon and Your Mama Won't Like Me.

My two favorites by Suzi are "Mama's Boy" and "She's In Love With You."

Suzi & Len lived quite local to us in UK. My brother in law was the biggest fan and went to several parties at her home. She is great ❤

She is often considered Power Pop but she is actually very much Glam Rock similar to Sweet and Marc Bolan. They were all big influences on Queen BTW. And you can even hear it here.

[@scottyh8494]

Born in Detroit. Suzi made it to the top of the UK European Japanese and Australian charts. She was not taken seriously enough in the US because she was a woman fronting a rock band. Suzi was on tour in the states in 74. She went to radio stations in the US trying to get her music played. Some radio stations guys said if you keep us in cocaine we will play your records. True story it's all in her documentary Suzi Q.

[@nedeast6845]

Suzi said, in 1970, she wanted to live in England and marry an English guy. She acheived both by 1976. Rock on Suzi, honoured to have you living in England forever

[@dennismims2999]

I started listening to Suzi in the 70's as a young teenager. Few of her songs made it to the radio regularly. My favorite was "Your Mama Won't Like Me". I don't know if you've played that one or not but if not, give it a play, it's rockin.

I last saw Suzi & her band live in the mid 90's, at the Kings Lynn festival, in Norfolk UK, when she was probably in her mid to late 50's, & she absolutely smashed it!!

[@notanotherenigma7759]

I saw Suzi just down on the Gold Coast (Brisbane, Aust) just before Covid hit. She was in her 70's, and still looks like a knock out, and still kicked arse. And she played an awesome bass solo, and let me tell you, she can slap! She was very much Rock'n'roll, and the guitarist, Len Tucky was her husband. A lot of her earlier songs were written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chin. Oh, and she is also a brilliant piano player.
