Suzi Quatro, Rock n' Roll Superstar-Session 2-Episode #350

For our 350th episode, we present to you the fantastic, world-renowned Rock ‘n Roll singer-songwriter-musician-poet and author, Suzi Quatro, who happens to be making her second appearance on StoryBeat. Suzi’s been writing and performing music since she was in her teens and is widely considered to be one of the most influential rock bassists and singers of her generation.

Suzi has sold over 55 million records, putting out such hits as 48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive, The Wild One, She’s In Love With You, If You Can’t Give Me Love, and her duet with Chris Norman, Stumblin’ In.

Suzi’s also well-known for playing Leather Tuscadero on the hit TV Series, Happy Days, as well as for her various other TV appearances.

Suzi turned her bestselling autobiography, Unzipped, into her one woman show, which premiered at London’s Hippodrome in 2007.

A prolific poet and writer, Suzi has published such books of poetry as Through My Eyes, Through My Heart, Through My Words, and Through My Thoughts. Her first novel, The Hurricane, was released in 2017, and she recently published her latest novel, Grave Undertakings.  I’ve read Grave Undertakings and can tell you it’s a fantastic dive into the minds of a college psychology class, and what happens when the small group of students and their professor analyze themselves and one another revealing their own inner lives and sensibilities. This is the rare work of fiction that I believe should be taught in psychology classes everywhere.

Aside from her wonderful writing, Suzi continues to tour and release new albums.
