What is it with the Tuscadero sisters? First, Pinky disappeared after three episodes during season 4 of "Happy Days" and then Leather shows up for seven more episodes during seasons 5 and 6 only to disappear just like her sister. Here's the truth about Leather Tuscadero and the musician who played her, Suzi Quatro.

I knew I recognized Chris Norman. I forgot he was in Smokie. A very cool 70’s band with great harmony. I was all of 10 in 1977 a few years before Stumblin’ in was a hit but Smokie was so so in popularity in the mid 70’s but I was just 8 when they were on shows like the Midnight Special and now I can say that’s why he reminded me of someone thanks to Dave Sundstrum.

People in North America might only be familiar with Suzi Q from Happy Days or “Stumbling In”, but in the UK, she’s considered Rock Royalty. She had a string of hits over there and she became a household name during the 70s. Smokie we’re also one of those bands who hit it big everywhere BUT North America. If you look into it, the music scene in 1970s Europe was VERY different than over here.

@MikeCee7 6 месяцев назад

I remember that song from 1979, but I didn’t know, until until this age of RU-vid, that Suzi was so popular around the world. I don’t think that many Americans under the age of 55 even know who she is. She’s like the American version of Kylie Minogue, who is so popular in every English speaking country except for America.

@@jayanxiety Well, this certainly shows the difference in musical tastes between USA & other English speaking countries. If Suzi Quatro already had #one hits in England & Europe for a few years, and then she was a hit on Happy days, (a top show in America). That would certainly boost anyone’s career. Yet she still was barely known in America. - But I have to admit, I’m now just first listening to some of her other #1 hit songs in the UK, (other than “Stumbling in”) and I can see how they were not big hits here in America. (and somewhat surprised that they were #one and in the UK) - The super popular British groups are super popular in America, Beetle. Stones, Zeppelin, Who, Queen, Elton John, etc. etc. Along with many others, I culture club, Duran Duran, George Michael, etc. - But I’ve listen to RU-vid videos of the number one songs during Christmas time and 95% of them I’ve never heard of. And this recent whole sausage biscuit songs (or whatever they are?) with some wacky guy, and also featuring Elton John and Ed Sheeran I’m just baffled that they were number one in the UK.

*"Stumblin' In"* is one of my favorite very 'coming of age' songs in my personal development as a teen. And I wanna thank you, Dave, for taking the subject along that particular pathway. When that song gets played unto a million people that recognize Top 100 radio, that I think at least 35% will feel as I do, while the other 65% would simply appreciate the song's likability. And isn't that the nature of a *"timeless classic?"*

Suzi did one of her songs on Happy Days: "Devil Gate Drive." It was her second number one hit in the Uk, in 1974. It was the episode where Joanie wanted to join the band. She was always one of my favorites on the show.

@gragrn 2 года назад

Suzi was already huge in Australia long before Happy Days. 48 Crash and Devils Gate Drive were massive hits here, so when she showed up on TV even as a kid I was thinking, how can she fit this in when she is touring all the time. I kind of knew it wasn't going to last long simple because she was already a famous rock star. When Suzi left after a few episodes I was sad but not surprised.

I cannot speak as to whether Suzi made a good decision in turning down a starring role in a tv series, but what I do know is that in the UK, she is absolutely revered. Her #1 song, Can The Can is still played today though most Americans have never heard it. She was part of the glitter rock movement that dominated the early to mid 70s in the UK along with such luminaries as Sweet, T-Rex, Slade, and Showaddywaddy.

I'm an American, and I love Suzi Quatro for "Can the Can" alone, but she also had some other great rockers like "Your Mama Won't Like Me." She is the most criminally underrated female rocker of the seventies and possibly of all time. "Stumblin' In" isn't great, but it least it finally got her a hit in her home country. I think that one of her songs being used in the movie 'Times Square' might have stymied any chance she might have had to build on that success in America, because the movie was a flop.

Suzie Quattro was huge here in the uk. I loved her music. I was shocked to hear in a documentary a few years ago, that as she got popular, her management told her that she'd got to appear more sexual.....zip undone nearly all the way down etc. She hated it, but she "had" to do it for her career.....which was obviously rubbish. I'm glad that she's still rockin', and doing her own thing nowadays.

Hi Dave, I love Suzi. I’ve seen Suzi Q, and in the documentary it was mentioned that Suzi’s team thought that Happy Days could hurt her musical image and take away from her focus. So I think she was persuaded to leave Happy Days even though she enjoyed it. Personally, I think that staying wouldn’t have hurt her career. I never realized that she was such a huge star in Australia and in England, far more than here, but she is widely respected by musicians and music aficionados alike.

It seemed logical that Suzi wanted to concentrate more on her music career which is probably why she decided to leave the show. She probably considered herself a singer/musician first and an actress second. I remember very well her top 10 on the pop charts duet with Chris Norman, "Stumblin In." In 1979, I was 14 years old and that song was heard in heavy rotation on the radio. It is one of my favorite songs from that year. It's success was probably a contributing factor to her deciding to devote more of her time to her music career. With the Pinky character, it was so wildly popular but short-lived and you always wondered what might have been had she lasted. I don't feel the same way about Leather. Sure, a relationship with Ralph was possible but I think they got the most out of the character and there isn't as much of a wondering what might've been as was the case with Pinky.

In the United Kingdom she was bigger than her native United States, her biggest hits were Kahm McCann and devil gate Drive which barely dented the United States charts. In fact her only significant hit in the United States was the duet with Chris Norman, stumbling in

I really liked "Wild One".

I always wanted to see the Tuscadero sisters together. And I think Leather and Ralph would have made a cute couple. But everybody has to do what’s best for that and it sounds like Suzi made the right choice. Kudos to her for not sticking with the practical “sure thing” and forging her own path.

I know who Suzi is. I liked her music, still am.i have 4 of albums. It would have been cool to see her every week. I still play her music today.

I really enjoy the first 3 years of happy days, after that they really lost the 50’s vibe

Omg.I live in Germany and dated this woman briefly and she was a huge Susi Quatro fan. Cool vid!

I remember watching an episode where Richie got into a pretty horrific accident and was in a coma. Everyone gathered at Arnold’s and Leather performed a song dedicated to Richie. The last time I saw Susie Quattro was in an episode of Midsomer Murders called The Axman Cometh. I honestly didn’t have an opinion of Leather because she, like Pinky, were forces of nature that come around and leave. They don’t stay around for long. It is great that she is still rocking on.

Wow. I didn't realize she was in that episode of Midsomer Murders. Now I will have to watch it again for the umpteenth time.

Thanks for another great video, Mr. Sundstrom. But just imagine an alternate reality for HAPPY DAYS SEASON 10 wherein the series producers, rather than introducing cousins K.C. AND FLIP to replace JOANIE AND CHACHI due to their spinoff, they instead persuaded rocker SUZI QUATRO as LEATHER TUSCADERO and DANNY BUTCH as SPIKE FONZARELLI to reprise their earlier roles. SPIKE LOVES LEATHER ???

Love your show but can't seem to remember these characters, was a big fan in those days

@martok2112 2 года назад

As always, great stuff. Dave. I'm trying to remember, wasn't she the character who sang a song for Richie while he was lying in the hospital, unconscious from a motorcycle accident? I remember the ep as a kid, and remembered that put a lump in my throat.

@jacknewman9256 2 года назад

If she had agreed, she might have gone the way of Mr. Roper. I'm glad that today I remember her as a music star.

@kobrakitsch877 Год назад

Great video, sir. But here's an interesting piece of trivia. SUZI QUATRO was going to star in a British TV series about BONNIE AND CLYDE with Oscar nominee JACK WILD who had portrayed The Artful Dodger in "Oliver". The project sadly did not materialize but she and Jack posed for costume fittings in some preproduction photos. What could have been.

Interesting!
