48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive, If you can't give me love. Those are the other 3 must listens. She was HUGE in the UK in the early 70's. She wedged open the door for other Women Rockers. She primed the market for the likes of Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett and other to succeed.

[@79BlackRose]

This was the first of two #1s she achieved in the UK.

[@DavidB-2268]

One of the only female lead singer/bass players that I can think of. Certainly one of the earliest. She never really got the recognition she deserved in the States. She was much more successful in the UK.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Jack Bruce, Phil Lynott, Lemmy and Geddy Lee notwithstanding. 😁

[@DavidB-2268]

@pentagrammaton6793 I should add "female", which is what I meant

[@gaiaeternal5131]

Her UK success was thanks to British producer Mickie Most who relaunched her career on his RAK record label, with the likes of Smokie and Mud.

[@mattleppard1964]

@@DavidB-2268Thanks - that conversation makes sense now! This song is pure rock and roll brilliance ❤

She also had a recurring character called Leather Tuscadero in tv’s Happy Days in the mid to late 70’s , named obviously due to her penchant for wearing figure hugging leather jump suits .. 🦊.. 🥵 😝 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@delorangeade]

This is how producer manufactured pop music sounded fifty years ago. Does anyone else remember Mickie Most on New Faces? He was the Simon Cowell of his day, except that he knew something about music.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Nicky Chinn & Mike Chapman were the Stock, Aitken & Waterman of that era, writing hits for The Sweet, Suzi Quatro including this one, Mud, Smokie which turned out to be the last one before punk hit.

[@markferrett700]

She was one of my first rock idols.....i remember i got a portable cassette player for my 12th birthday and i used to walk around the streets with this playing....dropped it and it smashed to pieces about a week later......😢gutted.😅

[@nickchristian2506]

Got one of those for Xmas 1973. Spent hours recording the likes of Mud, Nazareth, Sweet, Suzie, Roxy, Alvin Stardust, T Rex from Radio Luxembourg. Still got some of those tapes. My mates did the same, happy days.

[@paulcollins5586]

Great band. she paved the way for female rockers and was fearless.

[@wellenstrom]

Glam rock, Sweet style. The same songwriters and producers who made "The Sweet" great. The driving forces: Chapman & Chinn.

[@brucedillinger9448]

I saw Suzi back in the late 70's at a small club in San Francisco (no longer there). She brought down the house!!

[@mattleppard1964]

She was/is fantastic. Another staple of my childhood in 1970s Britain ❤ This was a welcome re-listen

[@donaldanderson6604]

Everyone loved this back in the day. Even if you weren't a glam rock fan, she was the real deal.

[@barriehull7076]

Suzi moved to England from Detroit in 1971, where she had a radio show later in her life.

[@fishbiscuit2000]

Growing up, my friends father ran a radio station and was friends with Suzi. One saturday morning I went round to my friends house and as usual his mother asked if I wanted to join them for some brunch. To cut a long story short, Suzi was sitting at the table eating toast and drinking coffee after the gig she had played in our town the night before. As a 12 year old fan, to say I was starstruck would be an understatement. As I recall she was sweet and personable and tried to include a tongue tied young boy in the conversation.

[@TheoZoffrok]

I totally agree about the electric piano, some nice chords, adding a bit of subtlety.

[@jeffp3415]

Before moving to London to front her own band, Suzi, two of her sisters, and two more friends were "The Pleasure Seekers" in the Detroit music scene. There's a great picture of this band in big hair and mini skirts - Suzi was 16.

[@Spinspiel]

At that time there was a duo who wrote a lot of hits like "Can The Can" and "Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet. This hit factory duo was Mike Chapman/Nicky Chinn.

[@iansmith1286]

The Wild One is an oft overlooked banger from Miss Quatro.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Suzy Quatro and her band were excellent, she really Rocked. As others have said, you should check out: "48 Crash", "Devil Gate Drive", "If You Can't Give Me Love", "Glycerine Queen", "Daytona Demon", "Too Big", "Stumblin' In". There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

[@traci4187]

Even before Suzi Quatro, there was Fanny: the first kick-butt female rock group that was signed to a major label. I've been suggesting this one to several reaction channels with no luck. If you want to give them a listen, try "Blind Alley" or "Charity Ball".

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I remember this when it first came out 73/74 ish .. I was 12 and just realising what a bass playing Fox this lady was ! A native of Detroit she eventually made it when producer Mickey Most made her an offer she couldn’t refuse 🤣 Still going apparently 👌 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

1973 and I was twelve too.

[@MartinLindnerDigital]

same here: i was 12, listening to the radio charts, liking slade, sweet, t.rex ... and quatro too.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

@@MartinLindnerDigital there must be something about JP’s channel that attracts 60-63 year olds 😝.. welcome to the SQ leering club 😃 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@palantir135]

@@MartinLindnerDigital this was a good song but I was more into prog rock and hard rock.

[@captainglam1113]

I'm always happy to hear more seventies glam rock on the channel :) With that in mind, can I recommend My Coo Ca Choo by Alvin Stardust (no relation to Ziggy!)

[@littlecitygirl]

Oh wow, this takes me back to my pre-teen years and bouncing in a very uncoordinated fashion to this song at the end of term dance. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, JP! :)

[@colinwilliams3619]

I remember Suzi saying in an interview that she wanted to wear leather as her image but they said its been done. She then said 'But it hasn't been done by me'. From the days when Chinn and Chapman songs from various bands were fighting each other at the top of the UK charts. Solution.....buy them all with my pocket money.

[@simonspeak9288]

You kinda need the visual for this one. Watch her perform it on Top of the Pops. The Fender Precision bass is as big as she is but she totally kills it.

[@albertwallace5060]

Interesting fact. Suzi Quatro is Sherilyn Fenn’s aunt. The 60s girl group The Pleasures Seekers included the Quatro sisters. One of whom, Arlene, married the group’s manager, Leo Fenn. Not that interesting really 😊

[@donaldb1]

But to any fans of Twin Peaks and 70s rock that is gold.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Suzi's first album is a classic. Do 48 Crash it's great. Bought it in 1973. Suzi was a teenage guys dream queen.

[@jumpjet777]

As a teenage boy at the time, the lyrics were not the primary attraction to her songs. Just the whole vibe/looks and sound.

[@arthurkettle3010]

If Taylor Swift recorded a song like this I might sit up and take notice....

[@dennispower5362]

MORE SUZIE PLS☮️🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@Drummingvulture]

Suzi and me go back a long way, and I've followed her career from the start right up to now. I do have (almost) everything she's put out, including the available material from The Pleasure Seekers and Cradle, but there are a few albums that are just plain ol' subpar. And a few of the albums I own are a bit sketchy, even. But that's never stopped me from playing her a LOT! I had mixed emotions when she was on Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero. The character was pretty stereotypical and embarrassing, but I was really happy to see her getting the exposure it brought her. My favorite album of hers is 'Suzi...And Other Four Letter Words'. It's quite poppish, but I've always been a huge fan of pop. Just not modern pop. LOL! That first album is a glam rock classic, and early Suzi was a HUGE influence on The Runaways, another band that I've loved from their first album through their last album. There are a few "stinkers" on almost every album, but there's plenty for me, and hopefully you, to love. Thanks for doing this reaction. Really enjoyed it!

[@billhawkins1236]

Also the sister of Patti Quatro, from the band Fanny and sister of Michael Quatro, kind of a flamboyant keyboard player of progressive stuff in the 70's. Apparently, quite the musical family.😎🤠

[@georgedavis-stewart4225]

A very resilient musician, still working today. She has also become a reliable lead performer in musicals in the U.K.

[@herb6677]

I was already laughing when I read the title. How could you not love that! Hillarious track.

[@PaulMDove2]

Suzi is amazing and has had such a long and varied career, from Can the Can to acting in Happy Days to her 1986 role as Annie Oakley in the musical Annie Get Your Gun

[@ElverGobbi]

Classic first album! This one have '48 Crash' too. Glam rock vibes. Did you heard the band BIRTHA? An all-girl band, early seventies. A impressive band that only released 2 very good albums and is very rare to find. Sexist scene, you kno. Please, react to 'Free Spirit', the first song of the debut album. KZbin live version is good too, but you get the great voice power of the drummer in studio.

[@ElverGobbi]

P.S.: both albuns you'll find on youtube... full version. Maybe an idea for a full album react too...

[@marcribe6483]

The Quatros are five sisters and one brother; all of them musicians and played together as a band in the sixties. But it was Suzy Quatro that made international success after the release of this album.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Ah, Suzi... she got my teenage hormones raging. A real pocket dynamo - 5' 0" of riot grrl decades before the term was coined. Great singer and pretty damn fine bass player, too. This song and "Devil Gate Drive" were big hits. Another song of hers I love which sadly only has a scratchy old clip on KZbin is "Your Mama Won't Like Me". She forged the path that female rockers from Lita Ford to Courtney Love would follow. And you need to watch a live (or even lip synched) video!

[@kenl2091]

Mmmm, UK (notwithstanding her US roots) early 70s Glam Rock. There was a new killer single like this one every other week back then. The lyrics rarely deserved close attention as this was music for bopping at the school disco. Play all the Suzi Quatro, Sweet, Slade, Mud, even Gary Glitter (complete with trigger warning) that you like.

[@s.collintuck3227]

Holy cow, I just realized!! um, apropos of nothing; You should give a listen to The Hoodoo Gurus song "(Let's All) Turn On". See how many references match up with your reaction vids. :)

[@gablen23]

Watch her duet with Chris Norman in "Stumblin In", it's so great!

[@GRAHAMESIMPSON]

she was a tiny powder keg :):)

[@stevemarchant3670]

let me help you Justin > "from sweet girl next door TO out of control screaming vixen temptress"

Thats it!

[@dennispower5362]

Just say 48CRASH say no more ☮️🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@frugalseverin2282]

The vocals are too far back in the mix, difficult to understand. I recommend listening to Bow Wow Wow. 'I Want Candy' is the big hit everyone's heard but dig deeper, check out the Best Of collection. 'C30, C60, C90' is a great tune or 'Do You Wanna Hold Me?'.
