Rock on, Suzi Quatro!

[johanna_hypatia]

Got to hand it to Suzi-- she's the earliest pioneer who proved that WOMEN can ROCK. She paved the way for everyone who came after-- Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Heart, Melissa Etheridge, L7 and the rest.

Suzi Quatro was BAD.
She's the sister that you never had.

Rock Hard

I'm just majorly in a '70s mood today...

Also, adding to her magnificence, is her Pinky Tascadero-ness (Happy Days).

Too fun! Thanks!

Hey! She's still performing!

Here she is doing "Desperado": http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=11075752

Thanks, that was nice. My, how she's mellowed out over the years. But still in black leather! That song really lends itself to just a single piano accompaniment, doesn't it?

[mysanal]

Yeah, it does. No matter who is singing it, it nearly always makes me cry. ;-)

Also, she was a website (suziquatro.com - she still tours!) and released an autobiography.
