44 min / Published

Suzi Quatro is an internationally renowned renaissance woman. Although most of her extraordinary achievements in the arts were celebrated outside the United States, she has left a momentous impression as the original first lady of rock ‘n’ roll.

Suzi scored big in the U.S. with the hit, “Stumblin’ In” (#4 Hit on Billboard’s Hot100) a Chinn/ Chapman penned composition performed as a duet with Chris Norman (Smokie).

Suzi Quatro became a household name in the U.S. as ‘Leather Tuscadero’ on the hit Television sitcom, ‘Happy Days.’ Quatro released her self-written autobiography, ‘Unzipped’ in 2007.

Suzi’s most recent release is entitled The Devil In Me, and she says it’s the best album in my career to date!”

Suzi Quatro has sold over 50-million records and helped pave the wave for generations of women rockers. Some of the women inspired by Quatro are Joan Jett, The Runaways, Pat Benatar and Deborah Harry to name just a few. Let’s hope the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame realizes that too.

"I WILL RETIRE WHEN I GO ONSTAGE, SHAKE MY ASS, AND THERE IS SILENCE"

Please welcome the Queen of Rock … SUZI QUATRO to Interviewing the Legends…

Also, a surprise appearance by Suzi’s ex-husband and guitar player Len Tuckey

SUZI QUATRO

THE DEVIL IN ME

Available at amazon.com

It’s got to be a very special release that has Suzi Quatro announced proudly:

“The Devil In Me" Is the best album in my career to date!” After all, the American rock vocalist would hardly utter such superlatives lightly.

Suzi’s enthusiasm for her latest offering has many reasons, twelve of them to be precise. Because The Devil In Meconsists of exactly a dozen songs, each of them – from the opening track and title song to the final ‘Motor City Riders’ – a real highlight.

A MEMOIR BY SUZI QUATRO

 The original memoir by glam rock sensation Suzi Quatro, subject of feature documentary 'Suzi Q' 

You've seen Suzi Q, the feature documentary about legendary 70s rocker Suzi Quatro. Now read Unzipped, the story of how Little Susie from Detroit grew up to become an international superstar musician - as told by the glam rock sensation herself.

The glam rock icon behind such hits as 'Can the Can', 'Devil Gate Drive' and 'Your Mamma Won't Like Me' has sold over 50 million records worldwide and has worked, partied and rocked out with legendary figures such as Noddy Holder, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop. Suzi Quatro's transformation from girl to glam rocker was fuelled by huge talent, determination, hard work and a fabulous sense of humour, but it wasn't easy.

In Unzipped, Quatro tells her story of life behind the scenes and in the thick of it as one of the first major break-out female rock bassists. Later, she went on to Hollywood to join the cast of Happy Days, juggling her acting and music career with a turbulent personal life and constant touring around the world. Through it all, she never lost her passion to perform or her sense of adventure.

Suzi Quatro remembers it all in this brilliantly personal and funny book, a thrilling account of a life lived going hell for leather.
