PURE ROCKER!| FIRST TIME HEARING Suzi Quatro - Can The Can REACTION 

50 million records world wide, often overlooked because she wasn’t big in the US but number ones UK, Europe, Australia and Japan!!!

The world wasn't ready for Suzi Quatro when she came out in the early 70s. She was never as big in the US as she was overseas, but damn, she had some great songs! Check out "48 Crash", "Devil Gate Drive", "If You Can't Give Me Love" and "Stumblin' In".

Suzy was Joan Jett s biggest musical influence. Suzy also had a minor recurring character on the old tv series Happy Days. She was a girl in a rock band in the show set in 1950s Milwaukee. Suzy Quattro was Leather Tiscadero. Her band was Leather and the Suedes

Suzie played ‘Leather Tuskadaro’ on Happy Days. She rocked glam type music.

This girl was the reason we have Joan Jett. Joan has said so. She even cut her hair to look like her.

Legendary, trail blazing and one kick ass rocker. Every female rocker owes her a debt of gratitude. Talent and beauty and one big pair of balls, to be able to stand tall in a then male dominated industry took strength and determination, she had it all.. She deserves her spot in the R&R hall of fame!

Quatro was from the US but only had major success outside the US, so she based herself in the UK She only had one #1 in the US and that was a duet (with Chris Norman of the band "Smokie") A lot of her hits, like Can the Can were written by an Australian Mike Chapman (but credited to Mike Chapman, Nicky Chinn (Chinn did the business side of the partnership)) Later Chapman wrote either solo, or with other people and he also produced albums such as Blondie's breakthrough album "Parallel Lines" Champman's other hits for Quatro were "48 Crash", "Devil Gate Drive", and he wrote the duet (I mentioned above) "Stumblin In"

Although Suzi is American her sound is very much part of the British Glam rock sound as she moved to the UK in 1971 and worked with British record producer Micky Most. Glam Rock was amazing and included bands like T.Rex, Slade, The Sweet, David Bowie, Mud, Mott The Hoople and Alvin Stardust, you have reacted to T.Rex (Bang a Gong) and Sweet (Ballroom Blitz) but some of the others especially Slade are well worth checking out too.

It’s about time you listened to Suzi Q, one of the greatest female singers and role model. I was one of millions of boys to have a crush on her

YES! Suzi Quatro! One of Detroit's most precious musical exports. She provided some of the glam rock's era most infectious hits- "48 Crash", "Devil Gate Drive", "Shine My Machine", "Official Suburbian (yes, that's how they spelled it) Superman", "Glycerine Queen", her covers of "I Wanna Be Your Man" by The Beatles and "Shakin' All Over" by Johnny Kidd. Irresistible stuff.

For a bit "softer" yet still rocky side try out a duet Suzi did with Chris Norman (from Smokie) called "Stumbling' In" - you'll love that!

Now we're talking ! Suzi IS the queen of rock ! And she's still rocking...Suzi was the first female to enter the male dominated world of glam rock in the early 70s and this was her first hit in 1973...quick edit - forgot to say the next Suzi Quatro song you should react to is "The Wild One" a huge hit for her in 1974,as it was a huge year for glam rock with artists like Suzi,The Glitter Band,Mud,Alvin Stardust,Sweet,Slade, Rubettes,Bay City Rollers,Elton John,Barry Blue,Alice Cooper the list goes on

When she was coming up in the music world, the record business didn't know what to do with a female rocker, and he record company really screwed things up. Her real rocker persona was kind of undermined by two things: (1) being on Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero didn't help her with fans of the much harder rock she actually played in live concerts, and (2) the record company softened her image, assuming that the public didn't want a badass rocker babe rock star. Ooh, they were SO wrong. Go online to see stills of her in the 70s and you're gonna understand the massive crush I had.

Suzi Quatro was huge in Europe but never here in the US. She's best remembered here for that one song duet in 1978,79 with Chris Norman called "Stumblin in" and playing Leather Tuskadero on Happy Days 😁

Suzi Quatro is the Queen of Rock n' Roll no doubt about it. She is an absolute icon. Thankyou for this. Loved it!

I love Suzie Quatro. She's in her 70s now, and she still tours (at least she did a couple of years ago when I saw her) She was fabulous. ❤

"Devil Gate Drive" 1974 "If You Can't Give Me Love" 1978 "She's In Love With You" 1979 "48 Crash" 1973 "Stumblin In" 1978.....Other songs from Suzi (The last one was a duet she did with Chris Norman, who was lead singer with the group "Smokey"

I saw Suzi Q live back in November 2019 and she's still got it! My friend and I must have been the _LOUDEST_ people in the arena when we screamed the *"LOOOO-OVE"* part in "If You Can't Give Me Love" near the end of the concert... when it was over, 2 people sat behind us said _"you guys are awesome!"_ 🤣 Such great times!! 😊

Suzie is the Queen of Rock n Roll I'm from Australia where Suzie was huge in the 70's, with her first hit in 1972/73 which was a couple of years before Joan Jett had success with The Runaways.

Suzi was the first woman I ever saw with an electric bass. It seemed bigger than she was!

"Devil Gate Drive", "48 Crash", Little Bitch Blue", "The Wild One" So many good songs. But my favorite is "Lipstick".

I fell in love with Suzu Quatro when I was about 10. I had never heard her music, but she played the roll of Leather Tuscadaro, in Happy Days. The only other person on the show who was as cool as The Fonz! She had 7 appearances on the classic sitcom, and was even offered her own spinoff show by Gary Marshall, the producer. She turned it down because she didn't want to be typecast and wanted to concentrate on her music career.

There is another singer like her, the name of that group was "Transvision vamp". Two of the best songs were. "Baby, I don't care" and "I want your love". The singer's name was Wendy James.

Jay/Amber, she's one of the earliest female rockers to sing AND play an instrument(bass). Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads learned to play bass watching Suzi's videos. You'll love Suzi's "If You Can't Give Me Love", "Rock Hard" and "Stumblin' In"(duet with Chris Norman)

Suzi was huge in Australia and the UK, but was overlooked in the US... Her early albums were brilliant,serious Rock and Roll... She IS the original 'Rock Chick' ... I can't believe she's not in the R&R Hall of Fame... Listen to "The Wild One" next...

I've been waiting a long time for this! Suzi set the standard for the others to follow. She was born and raised in Detroit and ironically, was never a major rock star here in the US, but was huge all over the world. Funny you say she reminds you a bit of Janis because they tried to make her the new Janis after Janis passed, but it did not work out, so they just Suzi be Suzi. The one thing I'm surprised you did not pick up on is that Suzi is the BASS player here! Her (now ex) husband is the lead guitarist. I highly recommend Devil Gate Drive and the only hit she had in the US, "Stumblin' In", a pop duet with singer Chris Norman. Also, there are compilation videos of her when she appeared on the 1970s sitcom, "Happy Days" as Leather Tuscadero. Suzi has moved on to TV, Film and theater over the years, playing the lead in Annie Get Your Gun on the London stage, as well as Tallulah Bankhead, which she wrote and produced. There is a great documentary on her from 2019 called "Suzi Q" that I recommend anyone see. If you have a library card, see if your library has the streaming video service called "Kanopy" because it is on here for free. You won't regret it. Suzi is still going strong at 71, putting out new music.

You keep saying "she WAS"! Let me tell you, she's STILL performing, even in her 70's!!...............& she's rocking as much as ever!! 😲

I last saw Suzi Q at the King's Lynn Music Festival, in the mid 90's, & she was just as good (& loud) as she was in the 70's!!! 😲

I saw Suzi from the front row pressed against the stage when she opened for Alice Cooper in 1975. She slayed.

My idol! I love her every song. From Wild One Devil Gate Drive to her version of Desparado and the song she sings as a dedication to Elvis Singing With Angels. So many hits she is the Queen of Rock in my eyes

FINALLY !!! Now you can see where Joan Jett came from. Suzi was the source. Joan was awesome too.

Suzi spent a lot of time in the UK. She appeared in several shows that I had the pleasure of working on. She was one of the sweetest ladies that I have ever worked with.

Thank you for featuring a woman way ahead of her time. Love Suzi, with her low-hung bass guitar, high heels and leather pants. She did a great duet with Chris Norman, if you ever want a sweet, adorable duet.

Suzi was an amazing trail blazer for women in rock. She had some great songs that are well worth listening to. My absolute favorite song of hers is actually a duet she did with Chris Norman called Stumblin' In. It's not her usual song, but it's a great listen. The two of them together had a wonderful chemistry together. Another song you really need to hear is Cat Size. Weird title because it sounds like it should be Cat's Eye, but Suzi was playing with words a bit when she wrote the song. It's a great ballad, though, that really shows off her voice. Other songs of hers you should check out are: Devil Gate Drive 48 Crash Tear Me Apart She's in Love with You Wiser Than You Two Miles Out of Georgia I'll Walk Through the Fire with You

My first album on cassette was The Wild One by Suzi Quatro,purchased in 1975 and i still have it.What a great album and what a great artist.

Here in the UK Suzi was our American - the queen of glam rock. She was always on TV. This was was the soundtrack to my childhood

Suzy Quatro was one of my earliest rock crushes in the 70s. But for the coolest of rock ladies, please react to Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. Either "Back on the Chain Gang" Live at Radio 2 in Hyde Park 2014, or even better, performing with Neil Young "My City Was Gone" live at the 2005 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - an absolute banger.

Suzi still a star in Australia. Despite needing to travel half way round the world she has made 32 visits to Australia. Most number one hits were in Australia for her and virtually every single release of hers did best in Australia. Still sought after to be interviewed on Australian TV as the Queen of Glam Rock : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wa9lH0-gIxQ.html

Huge over here in the UK,this is from top of the pops.we made her a star,USA never got her,until she was on the tv show Happy days.

Remember watching this on West German TV on the Disco program back in early 70ties, loved her leather and her playing the bass......Greeting from Danmark -making somebody smile..

I remember her from the sitcom " Happy Days " where she played teen rocker " Leather Tuscadero " in several episodes.

Definitely check out "Devil Gate Drive" 70's rock with a 50's vibe. This and "Stumblin In" are my favorite songs from her.

It's great that Suzi is still rockin, such a nice and funny person too. In one interview in recent years she she commented on how in the 70's she helped so many teenage boys through puberty.

Suzi was head banging back in the 60's. She was in a band called the pleasure seekers in 1968. In their cover of "Reach Out" Suzi appears to be around 15 or 16.

I almost broke my mouse button hitting the link ! This is a true rock female, love her voice and talent ! Thanks for this :)

Quatro had a direct influence on the Runaways and Joan Jett as well as Girlschool and Chrissie Hynde.Musician Kathy Valentine, best known for her work as bass player for The Go-Go's, cited Quatro as a major influence in her 2020 autobiography All I Ever Wanted.

Lita Ford with Ozzie Osborne "Close your eyes"... you loved her " Kiss Me Deadly". She and Joan Jett were in the all girl rock band "The Runaways" as you recall. Joan styled herself off her Rocker hero "Suzie Quatro". Proof how music and musicians have impact and can shape the lives of others! The world would be a lesser place without these artist!

Suzi Quatro was in two all-female bands as a teenager The Pleasure Seekers and Cradle. Her older sister Patti Quatro was in both bands & later joined Fanny. She played lead guitar on "Butter Boy" which you reacted to a few weeks back. More Fanny please.

Now there's a blast from the past, Legendary Suzi Quatro, other great songs of here's are If you can't give me love Devil Gate Drive All awesome rock songs.😎🎸👌

Suzi was enormous in Australia. On her first tour here in 1974 a gang of bikers gave her an escort from the airport to her hotel. She's still very popular here.

Suzi was originally from Detroit but moved to England in the early 70's and became a big star there. The only hit she had in the US was the uncharacteristically laid-back duet with Chris Norman of the band Smokie called "Stumblin' In". She played in one of the first all-female Rock bands with her sisters called Suzi Soul and The Pleasure Seekers in Detroit. Her brother Mike was a DJ in Detroit. One of her sisters was in the band Fanny. I first saw her on the 70's TV show set in the 50's "Happy Days".

The one & only Suzi Q, she is & always will be the best female rocker out there.

The fact that Suzi isn't in the rock and roll hall of fame is an embarrassment.

She's "The Hammer From Hell." Suzi fans understand.

Suzi Quatro came out first when Joan Jet was younger, and Joan Idolized her and wanted to be in a band and rock out like her!

Saw Suzi late in '72 when she was a support act for the Kinks and a virtual unknown. This was some months before Can The Can hit the charts, and quite a few folk in the UK weren't sure what to make of her. One reviewer, however, reckoned she could prove to be a lot more than just "Bolan with b**bs" (his phrase), and was he ever on the money!

We love Suzi!! Give "Mama's Boy," "She's In Love With You," and "Lipstick" a listen. So many good tunes!

LEGEND ..... SHE WAS ALSO PINKY TUSCADRO SISTER 9N HAPPY DAYS HER NAME WAS LEATHER TUSCADARO

i loved suzi in the early 70,s such a hot rocker especially for a 10 year old she was everything you wanted great voice and great songs.

Love love love Suzi. She’s in love with you and Stumbling in are my favourites

please, please watch the Suzi Quatro/Chris Norman duet "Stumbling in" I have watched that so many times. SO fun and so much chemistry between them.

I can't believe you have not reacted to the Pretenders on female Friday yet. Chrissie Hyndes has one of the greatest voices ever recorded. I would suggest "Stand By You, or Don't Get Me Wrong". Peace

I was introduced to Suzi when she opened For Alice Cooper on his welcome to my nightmare tour. Been a fan ever since.

She started out in a band called Cradle with her sisters, When that band failed, she moved to UK - and the rest is history. She is STILL recording as of 2022.

YEAH !!! Now we are reaching back for some real early rocker chick sounds ! My favourite is "Devil's Gate Drive" (love the way it starts out) and "48 Crash"

That Suzi Quatro is not in the rock n roll hall of fame is a crime. She is very influential for women in rock.

Good to see a couple of Americans finally appreciate this British legend (tongue in cheek)

Suzi Quatro is the Queen of this genre. She paved the way for all that followed.

YES! YES! Suzi!! An icon to me from the age of 13! Awesome! Thank you so much for including her!

Suzi Quatro was huge in the British Isles in the early 70`s . I grew up in Ireland and she was massive and every song she released went to the top of the charts. She was tiny and usually dressed in a black leather jumpsuit and always pumping energy at 200% . Although she is American I think she was more popular on the other side of the Atlantic. A true 70`s icon.

She was my hero musically when i was 10 my girl power moment. She lives here and works on BBC radio!

Look how young she looks! Devil’s Gate Drive is another rocking tune from Suzi.

YAY! Finally - Suzi Quatro!!! Y'all have hit it out of the park with your fierce femles this Friday! I LOVE Suzi Quatro! Was first introduced to her when she played Leather Tuscadero on "Happy Days" & then got into her music. She is the godmother of grrrl punk (imho). Some of her other songs I suggest y'all check out include "Stumblin' In" (a little softer than this one), "The Wild One", "Lipstick", "Rolling Stone", "Roxy Roller", "Devil Gate Drive", "Heart of Stone", "If You Can't Give Me Love", "Rock Hard"...there's just too many to choose from! She is PHENOMENAL!!!

Have not heard Suzi Quatro in years wow!! Thank you!!

Yeeeeesssss!!!! Suzi!! She inspired Joan Jett. 1st real female rocker withe the leather outfit who played a big bass half her size & she was great on it! She was bigger in UK vs USA but she later played Leather Tuscadero on "Happy Days."

Now 72, still touring and as gorgeous as ever. Saw her live a couple of years ago, A brilliant show.

Whenever you talk about Female Rockers, Suzy is right there at the top in my book! Just giving credit where credit is due!

So glad I found your channel. Binged watched for 5 hrs a few nites ago and couldn’t go to work the next day. But NO regrets…I’m hooked❤️ Please listen to the following: “Something About You” by Level 42 “Sailing” by Christopher Cross “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton

Oh Suzi!!! Growing up in the 70's, man oh man was I huge fan!! She's kick-a$$

Shes In Love With You & If You Can't Give Me Love, two classics from Suzi Q

Love Suzi, she's always been a rocker. And she plays bass. She belongs in the RHOF.

As soon as I saw you post Suzi Quatro, I went *"YES, FINALLY!!"* 🤘😂

More Suzi

Suzi was NOT, in fact, "the start" or "the first" (as influential & impactful as she was!). The first all female band ever signed (there had been plenty of female vocalists and musicians before this, in most areas of popular music (Blues, Country, Jazz,...)👍👍) was, in fact, an outfit called: Goldie & The Gingerbreads (this was in 1962 or 1963). Goldie & The Gingerbreads was (of course) fronted by "Goldie" which was the nickname her mother chose for the Polish girl who had emigrated to the States after the War (that would be: WW II, fer you young'ins!😛👍👍🤪). She would, later, be known as: Genya Ravan (and if I remember correctly, her birth name is: Genyusha Zelkovicz (🤷)) ...so: known as Goldie Zelkovicz in Goldie & The Gingerbreads. Later using a "colloquial truncation" of her given name, to become: Genya Ravan, lead vocalist of Ten Wheel Drive and (arguably: "MOST" famously:) Producer of the DEAD BOYS debut album: Young, Loud & Snotty [legendary in its own right!]. Goldie & The Gingerbreads (besides Genya Ravan), also featured the underground-legendary guitarist/vocalist/song-writer: Carol MacDonald (she was the guitarist in Goldie & The Gingerbreads). Carol MacDonald (along with: Ginger Bianco (Panobianco)-the other founding member of Goldie & The Gingerbreads and the person to whom "Gingerbreads" alludes. 👍👍. Ginger is a drummer.) would, later, form the all-female funk-rock band: ISIS (The cover photo is the entire band, nude, covered in silver body paint! EXTREMELY salacious & boundary pushing, in the early '70s!!!!🤯😳). So: Goldie & The Gingerbreads, Ten Wheel Drive, Isis [1970s] all need your attention (especially if you are investigating "the history of female rockers"!)! I, also, would steer you towards the British band: Fanny ! [an UNBELIEVABLY rude name, for a female (or ANY!) artists, particularly in that time-frame! (If you know/understand British slang at all!) [Basically: It would have been the same as a U.S. band calling themselves: Pussy!] ...anyhow: All worth your time. There are MANY, MANY female artists whom you haven't even breathed in the direction of, yet! ...Arguably, some of the most important: The Runaways [the band which founded Lita Ford and Joan Jett's careers! (where they got their start!); Girlschool (all-girl '80s British Heavy Metal - They split an E.P. with MOTÖRHEAD, which is pretty legendary!🤘🤘 [MOTÖRHEAD!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌩️]) and: UNBELIEVABLY!!!!!, you have YET to hear: HEART?????! _The Wilson Sisters are as responsible as ANYONE for the Seattle rock scene and have been cranking out SUPERB music since the 1970s! [3 different bands, really: the original with: Ann, Nancy, Michael DeRosier, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen and Howard Leese (then an "additional member"&multi-instrumentalist); the '80s version (with Howard Leese as the lead guitarist, Denny Carmassi (ex-Montrose !

First seen Suzi on happy days she was way cooler than the Fonz✌

Yeah Suzue Q grew up on this music, living in Australia we watched a telly show called Countdown every Satersay morning. My big sis has the best ever Autograph book she has nearly everyone from the 70's as she was in her teenage years. ❤

Devil Gate drive, Your mumma won't like me, The wild one, Daytona demon, 48 crash, so many great songs to listen to from Suzie

Alright now this is a good way to end Female Friday see you guy’s on the next one 🙋🏻‍♀️ 💕

Although Suzy was American , much of her success was in the UK with several hits like this.

Suzi on that bass and screaming out ,Yes! Devil Gate Drive is another great one.

Ok you guys checked out the Us and the Uk....now check out some female rockers from Canada! Headpins - Don't it make ya feel - Turn it out - Feel my Body - Just one more time Toronto - You're Daddy don't know - Even the Score - Start telling the Truth - Enough is Enough

Suzi was Joan Jett's idol - just a few years before Jett it it big with The Runaways.

“The Wild One” and “48 Crash” next. For another chick that rocks try The Distillers 🛎 “City of Angels” or “The Young Crazed Feeling” a punk band fronted by a kick ass woman.

Sooooo underrated, the original rock chick. An American who was much much bigger here in the UK than in America.

You should do Devil Gate Drive, it’s my favourite song of hers.

One of Joan Jett’s biggest influences. Music and fashion.

Queen of Rock.....and a big part of my musical youth,,,

Grew up listening to Suzy, had a huge crush on her she rocked 🤟

Leather Tuscadero
