She released several singles, including 'Can the Can' and 'Devil Gate Drive' during the 1970s that became instantly popular in Australia, the UK and European countries, establishing her as a prominent artist in these countries.

To this day, Quatro has released fifteen studio albums, ten compilation albums, and one live album. She has sold over 50 million albums and has hit solos, such as '48 Crash', 'The Wild One' and 'your Mama Won't Like Me' to her credit. Between 1973 and 1980, Quatro won six Bravo Ottos and in 2010, she was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends online Hall of Fame. She released her latest album in 2019 and continues to present new radio programmes to this day.
Today, at 70, this rocker chic is as formidable and glamorous as she was 50 years ago, only her talent has become more pronounced with age and experience.

    Surprising fact number 1: Susie Quattro was a well established musician well before her role on happy days. She had at least three or four hits that charted in the UK and Australia in 1973/74. Happy Days helped to broaden her appeal and her audience leading Eventually to duets like ‘stumbling in’.

    Love at first sight 1972-3 Top of the Pops when I was 7/9 yrs old. So surprising to see a Pretty, wild woman, playing thumping loud music. Suzi fronting her rock group. I knew I could be a tomboy and that its O.K now. At last a role model for me and other awkward early teens that didn't fit the mould. Never gonna be a typical femme-fatal sat singing ballads on a stool in a flowing gown. Thank you Suzi for being the 1st. I wish I had an Autographed Photo of her in these early crazy days.

She inspired more female hard rock bands than anyone else. As always, the pioneers of later bands always are swept under the carpet. She deserves better.

    I was in Hawaii in 1973. I was at the record store, thumbing through the albums. I came across her first album with Can The Can. I never heard of Suzi Quatro or heard any of her songs. I put it back, and continued looking at different albums. But, I keep coming back to her. The album cover was in black and white, but her eyes, I kept staring at her eyes. I gave up. I had to buy it. I was in the army, I took it back to my room and played it. Also there was an iron on transfer of " Suzi" in the jacket sleeve. As I played it, I loved it. Especially Catsize, the best song on the album. So what can I say I was hooked on her music. I bought, over the years, evey Suzi Quatro album I could find. I have written on her offical website. The way it is layed out, a hard thing to do. One of maybe 6 people! I wrote there a couple of times. I have also written comments under many of her songs in U Tube. To include that she needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for A Lifetime Achivement Award. For the work she has done from 1973 to present. Anything else would be an insult. Also, I like her mini series Bassline which is featured here on U Tube. It is a beautiful way of explaining the songs she did, and how to play them. I can't give you a favorite song, I like so, so many. Love Touch, Sucide, Can I Be your Girl, If You Can't Give Me Love, Empty Rooms, Ego In The Night, You Can Make Me Want To, Butterflies Are Free, and of course Catsize. So it goes, on and on, and on. Stll, I can't see why she was not popular in the US. I watched the video but there is no reason on earth why she was not popular here. What, because she started in the UK? Bad management? So beautiful and talented with a killer voice, why? What is the reason she was not a star here. In Europe, East Europe, Australia, Japan and the orient, she is a SUPERSTAR, and that being well deserved. I guess I am a devoted fan from the first time I saw her face on her first solo album. Was I a fool on that hot Hawaiian day, when I saw the face of Suzi? Or did I see the future of female rock and roller? I think I saw the future. Time proved that to me. Watch some of Bassline to see a candied look of Suzi Quatro. Play some of her songs I listed. I think you will like them! I wish the best to her and all of her fans. Dave In Sierra Vista AZ.

So I wrote a very small bio, and how I found her music. So sue me. She deserves so much more than that. I stand by what I wrote. Long, yes. Most of my comments are. Dave in Sierra Vista AZ.

    Yes, I was also always either working, studying or commuting and never had time to watch TV or have "leisure" activities but sometimes I'd listen to the radio briefly and she'd come on. I liked her songs and the music her diminutive body singing all this tough stuff rough working class style music. Especially in her song "If You Can't Give Me Love" where she sings "....what I need is a man, not some aristocrat". But at first I thought her little soprano girlish voice was all wrong for that style of music, more suitable for pop music than hard rock styles. But now I have grown to see how it adds to the performance because it seems so odd and constrasts with the heavy rock beats snd, of course, her playing the bass. I love watching her when, being so tiny, she grabs that great big heavy bass guitar and starts thumping out the base rhythms on it. Those heavy basses weigh a ton and give you a sore shoulder if you try to play one standing up for too long, jumping around dancing and sing loud and high for a long time, like she does. I don't know how such a tiny built girl like her could have possibly survived such live performance that are very strenuous and energy draining, as they have to be because this is not cure pretty pop music. It is very heavy duty industrial working class rock music. Factory workshop or garage type music. But onestill hears such music played in Australia in places like clothing shops selling blue denim jeans etc. Along with Janis Joplin and the rest of the wild girls from that era. Sadly, some of them ended up in trouble,on drugs etc. But, I believe Suzi managed to keep out of that sort of troubled life, even if her stage performances portrayed her as a pretty wild child, every parent's worst nightmare for a daughter.

    Thanks for the History lesson, I love Suzi and my Aunt Eileen who you featured in many of the stills. I suspect my Grandfather, a professional Photographer, took many of them. I went through His negatives and Photos and found MANY of the Band. Great piece!!!!

    The first time I heard Suzi was when a friend of mines sister played Can the Can, 48 Crash, and Devil gate Drive on her I little phonograph when I was about 12 years old in 1973, been a fan ever since. I think she had more radio play in Canada, where I live than in the USA. Just watched the latest biography video last week.

    Suzi is a hybrid unlike so many artists today Suzi's hits were provided by the great Chinnichap partnership of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They delivered an incredible 55 hits over an eleven year period for SWEET, MUD, ARROWS, RACEY, SMOKIE, and Suzi Quatro. In most of the world Suzi is not just a Rock star, she's the first female GLAM Rock star. When the glam began to fade in the late 70s Chinn & Chapman skillfully softened her material, image and overall sound and Suzi enjoyed her first re emergence to the top ten with several folksy country style tunes such as If you cant give me love and The race is on. A little later she returned to rock with a slightly more mature take on it. She was a huge recording artist in the UK and Europe where here appearances on happy days were of little significance to her audience. She was regarded as far more iconic than the Happy Days TV show, though it was well documented that she had not enjoyed much chart success in her homeland. Thus her fans understood why she had taken the role, with the hope it may have kick started a run of hits stateside that in the end never did materialize. Like all the Chinnichap acts of the 70s Suzi found it impossible to repeat the top 40 success she enjoyed with Chinn and Chapman but such is her talent, her staying power and the high regard she is held in by the British and European public she has remained in the public eye for five decades. Ironically her duet with fellow chinnichapper Chris Norman (Smokie), Stumblin In was a big hit in the US though it failed to make the top 40 in the UK." Horses for Courses" Brian Manly

    Suzi was popular before Happy Days. Suzi inspired Joan Jett to form the Runaways, which resulted in the first successful All Girl Rock Band, which in turn the Blackhearts were started later. I first heard Suzi on a cover of Elvis, which she does quite a bit. Can the Can was the first song I heard from Suzi and love it to this day! Like the Runaways, Suzi was more popular over seas like the Runaways.
