It frustrates me
that women's rock bands are so bad.
Some bands in the States try to make real feminist rock.
But that's nothing compared to the creativity of men's bands.
Somehow girls never touched a guitar.
Most of the girls have given up.
They were bored, or they needed time for dates or other things.
I sacrificed most of my youth for this.
Few are ready. Probably rightly, because few make it.
"A rocker, a doubter, a loner, a devil woman , a wild cat,
a storm child who fled frightened Detroit ... "
SINCE 1973, SUZI QUATRO HAS SOLD MORE THAN 55 MILLION RECORDS WORLDWIDE.
Do you want to rock out?
SUZI WAS THE FIRST BASSIST TO BECOME A REAL ROCK STAR.
She went ahead and opened the doors for us women.
She was a real pioneer
as a rock 'n' roller.
When we started in 1964, 1965, 1966
there were hardly any girl bands. Almost no.
Sure, there were early pioneers
who played in rock bands.
Great musicians, but always in the background.
Suzi was the one who made it
to hit the mainstream with a series of top ten hits worldwide .
She was the first.
Have you done something really new?
Have you been successful with it?
How long did your career last?
Did it have substance?
Have you been innovative
Suzi was innovative, without question.
It was just amazing.
Shivers run through your body,
you freak out and ask yourself: Did I really just hear that?
Suzi war glaubwÃ¼rdig.
A young woman with her guitar all in leather
the audience goes crazy!
Til today.
Today's kids
don’t know Suzi anymore and that’s sad for the kids themselves.
It's a shame because they should.
Especially those who want to get into the music business
should take a close look at Suzi Quatro.
Most successful artists only realize afterwards
that one for success and fame
always has to make big compromises.
Huge.
Huge! - How do you cope with it
that you have to pay a price that the public cannot see?
You have to say goodbye to a comfortable, perfect life.
I knew that when I was with the band for the first time .
W-J-B-K!
This is what radio sounds like in Detroit!
Hey Suzi Q what's up
Frequency 1500.
WJ Radio, Detroit.
I was born Susan Kay Quatro.
My parents were Arthur and Helen Quatro.
My father didn't want his four daughters to remain dependent.
He raised us to be brave people.
He loved my mother very much, for more than 50 years.
My mother was rather strict. I was very close to her.
She was probably the only one who really knew me.
I couldn't fool her. When I came home when I was 13 or 14 years old
and drank or smoked a beer,
she called from the other end of the house: "Susan, come here!
You smoked and drank. " I couldn't lie.
As for principles, I come after my mother.
She was Catholic and very strict.
She put me on the track, which I follow to this day.
Besides that, there is the artistic in me, I got that from my father.
I love this song...
..."Heart of my heart".
It reminds me...
... of childhood.
We were five children in a very musical family.
My father played various instruments in different bands.
We had millions of hours of music.
I learned to drum, piano ...
We were very happy.
SISTER
We sang all the time.
Mickey was confused as a child.
He was seen on TV as a child prodigy.
Suzi had the entertainer gene. She could pull people under her spell, was funny and easy-going.
Dad was thrilled that we were all following in his footsteps.
In January 1956, the whole family watched the Ed Sullivan Show.
Elvis appeared, and when he did so ...
There...
At the age of five and a half I knew at once :
I will do that.
Nobody said to her:
"You can't do that, you're a girl."
She wanted to be like Elvis.
"That's cool, I'll do that."
And that's exactly what makes rock 'n' roll.
Right after the Beatles' appearance
we girls talked on the phone about how great they were.
Patti suggested they start a girl band.
And we all: "Yes!"
The first band consisted of neighborhood children, including two pairs of sisters.
I still remember exactly, Nan said: "I play the drums!"
And Mary Lou: "I do the rhythm guitar!"
Patti: "Me the lead guitar!" And I: "Hello?"
She said, "You play bass." So I asked my father for a bass.
He gave me this
I plugged it in and said: "Yes!"
A crucial moment in my life
to start with this band
for the first time on stage with the three songs we could.
Three identical chords in three songs.
And I stood up there with the bass and thought
"That's it. That's my thing.
Forever. "
The guitar always looked too big because it was so small.
Why didn't she want a smaller one?
There is this little woman, she is really short
and play that huge, heavy bass.
And it looks like light as a feather.
We got better and better, put out a single.
Suzi was 14, I was 16.
The girl garage band sings "What a Way to Die". That was punk before there was punk.
Five Catholic girls are doing a drinking and party song.
It became very well known.
We performed in a gym with no stage.
Someone said: "We don't see the singer, put her on a table."
So then I stood up there.
I looked at the people and did:
They winced. I thought, "You guys like that."
My father allowed me to drop out of school and tour.
Then I didn't have to go to school anymore, spend the night with friends and so on ...
I was on tour!
Five gigs a night in clubs
I shouldn't have been allowed in.
And I still remember that I thought:
"All of my friends are in school
and I'm not one of them anymore? "
So I missed part of growing up.
That probably explains that vulnerable part of me, even if I'm a tough girl.
That part never grew up.
And I longed to be with them again
but I couldn't go back because I had found my thing.
"I'm Suitcase Lizzie from Detroit City, try my wings.
I'm Suitcase Lizzie from Detroit City
and I can do anything. "
POEMS AND MEMORIES
Your advantage: you are not only good,
they look good too: The Pleasure Seekers!
When my older sister's husband started managing the band
he said: "More headlights on Suzi,
she is the front woman. "
Somehow I always knew that
and developed my craft under this auspices.
We got into the concert industry through my brother .
He brought in Hendrix, the Rolling Stones,
organized festival gigs everywhere . He was THE promoter.
When I had the agency it was so easy
to promote the girls.
From 1965 to 1970 I took her to all the shows
helped them with the record deal, did everything.
When I got home for the first time , I called my friends:
"I'm back!" Nobody wanted to talk to me.
You were jealous
because I broke out.
If you live in Detroit, you always have to hit the gas. It's just like that.
The kids didn't want to go to the car factories
don't end up like their parents did.
There's nothing else there. LA has the beach
New York has everything.
There's nothing in Detroit, you just want to get away.
We were the first female band to play hard rock.
We didn't make girls grumble. We came from Detroit, after all.
Detroit was the capital of hard rock. Detroit was unique.
When we first saw the Pleasure Seekers, so all in white, so ...
We didn't know what they wanted.
But they couldn't deny Detroit.
They were hard rockers anyway.
After the covers came their own songs.
And then we went to New York
and got a contract with Mercury Records through the head of ABC management .
I quickly realized that there are a lot of big mouths in the rock business.
There were many dangers lurking, many agents and clubs were dodgy.
I figured it out quickly and got myself a big mouth
that scared off the idiots.
There was no success. None of the singles became a hit.
But we were known because we were all a girl band and different.
We were just out and about, performed with everyone.
When we got home everything was different.
We were suddenly out of date.
In 1969 we played at a festival.
There were bands like MC 5, Frijid Pink, Alice Cooper ...
Very casual, barefoot and in jeans ...
And we were a show band
appeared in outfits. We were completely out.
All of a sudden there was that hard Detroit rock sound.
Arlene remarried and wanted to take care of the children.
DafÃ¼r kam Nancy.
She could really crank it up. What a voice!
I told Suzi it was out of date and we needed a new voice.
Without renewal, they would not have survived.
You would have remained a show band.
I never liked cradle. That wasn't my band.
I liked to stay in the second row, thinking to myself: "First of all, be good."
I became a good bassist, I could jam.
She wasn't just in the second row. She was both.
But then we just had to get a little tougher.
Suzi was from Detroit, just like The Stooges.
Detroit was very dark then and ... - It still is.
Detroit has its own heartbeat.
And it has a lot to do with the auto industry.
And with black and white and rich and poor. That does something.
You are in Eastown! Welcome to the heart of Detroit.
Warm applause for the band Cradle!
The drummer said at the time that we had to get more serious
say something, write yourself, get political ...
Why?
It robbed me of the fun of the band, I didn't feel good like that.
We wanted a record deal. That was more than difficult back then.
No matter how good we were, the tie wouldn't sign us.
We could get pregnant
Or fall in love, eventually take it too easy.
It was so difficult, we were utterly unnerved.
And Suzi got impatient.
I've always just waited.
Ever since Cradle started.
Honestly, since I started when I was 14, I've been waiting for my chance.
Mickie Most came with Jeff Beck from London for a Motown recording.
MICKIE MOST PRODUCED HITS FOR THE ANIMALS, HERMAN'S HERMITS ...
My brother found out about this and asked him to see the girls' tapes.
My brother arranged that with Mickie Most. He always wanted to help us.
And we played.
We have played,
Nancy sang and then I came.
Very cool. "Now one of me:
'Brain Confusion'."
Just like that.
When we were done, he pretended
went to the back and said: "Do you want to make an album?"
And I said, "Yes, I would have. What are you doing?"
VÃ¶lliger BlÃ¶dsinn.
He said, "I'm a producer." - "Really?"
I played stupid.
He probably liked my way.
He asked, "Would you like to come to the Motown studio tonight?
You alone? " I said," Okay. "
So I went there.
This is the studio, Studio 8, where all the hits were made.
He put me in here with Jeff Beck and Cozy Powell.
We jammed here and played the song "Cissy Strut".
Mickie ordered my brother to New York.
He made an offer. I had to talk to the nurses about that.
He made an offer to Suzi through my brother.
And he ...
only wanted her.
Mickey told my father and Patti
that Mickie Most only wanted me and not the band.
And they decided not to tell me about it
because they wanted him to take the whole band.
That was really not very nice.
Blocking someone's path is never okay.
Patti wanted it so badly. So it got very emotional.
My family was very loving.
We were all very close, our parents were great, it was an ideal world.
Until I got older and just had to leave.
You continued with Cradle for two more years. Patti went to the band Fanny.
Your assessment,
how we felt about her departure,
very different from what I felt.
They were devastated.
And so do I, emotionally.
It was really difficult for me, but I left anyway.
"Through the astral plane to the heavenly gate, my spirit rises higher and higher.
On angel wings to the light
I leave everyone else behind. "
I went to London
with this bass that was heavier than me and with a suitcase.
I lived in a room as big as ...
Very tiny.
A tiny bed
a sink, a broken mirror, no toilet,
a coat hook. That's how I lived.
From the beautiful house in Grosse Pointe
with a Cadillac in the driveway and good food
I came to a tiny room with no money, no friends, no family.
I didn't do anything, didn't know anyone, didn't go out.
That was probably the absolute low point in my life.
Mickie gave me a chance that I wanted to use, that was clear.
But I cried myself to sleep very often.
Tumbled to the floor crying.
Longing, crying.
But I never thought of going back home.
I don't know if her parents called me or I called them.
They were worried because Suzi was going to London.
And I said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you."
From then on I felt responsible for her.
Suzi called Mickie one night and said she was not doing well.
He jumped out of bed, packed medicine and drove to her.
He was a father figure.
She had a great father, she wasn't looking for a replacement
but he took care of her in business.
I'm alone in London, I miss my family, but I want to make it.
My dad asked if I don't want to come for Thanksgiving
But I hated flying and said no
And, most importantly, I didn't want to come back without a hit.
My father recorded conversations with a tape recorder
asked the others what to say. And then he sent me the tape.
I was really excited!
Suzi plays bass well, but not that great.
In other words, she's not such a great bassist ...
Suzi is sloppy! She is very sloppy ...
She doesn't have good technique. - She doesn't want to be sloppy.
But it is. It's one of her mistakes, and she would admit it.
She's too fast.
Lots of unsightly things. I asked myself:
"Why are you saying all this, and why are you sending this to me too?"
Someone I spoke to about it said:
"Maybe he was just pissed off that you left without the other girls."
Somehow I could understand his demeanor. He was a family man.
"I love you children equally. You are all talented and great." That's how he was.
I guess I really pissed him off.
Patti said:
"Perhaps my soul was darkened for some time when you left.
I had to get rid of a lot. "
Suzi always had the urge to become a rock star . A successful musician.
She was ready to do anything for that.
It doesn't happen often. Some just want to make music.
She wanted to be successful, to be a star.
To make it
you have to be determined.
You have to get everything out of the way.
I really wanted to.
When you are young, you live that determination.
If you lack this urge, this ambition,
you might be lucky, but you never get to the top.
This is not for the faint of heart.
PRESS AGENT FOR THE BEATLES AND SUZI QUATRO
Mickie called me:
"I found a singer, do you do the press work for her?"
And she sat there in the middle of the room
with her curly hair and such.
You immediately felt a difference.
She was different from the female singers one knew.
Somehow she was completely herself. Some people are
somehow special.
The bridge must be a complete contrast to the verse.
We do it like this: Try the bass, I want to hear it.
If I know the bass line in the middle
I know what to look for when arranging.
He knew what I wasn't, not what I was.
We tried to find out.
I was a rocker. It was clear to him
but he could n't quite put it on a record.
We did a few pieces in the studio
worked with different people, but it didn't work.
Call me as soon as you have an idea
and play it for me. And if there's something to it, you go on.
There's no point if you finish something and then I don't like it.
Line by line, and if I like it, that's great.
Good. - See you tomorrow.
Good. - Don't let me down.
Thank you. Bye. - Bye.
It was starting to annoy me that nothing was happening.
He made a record with her
which strangely came first in Portugal.
That was really weird.
I guess if you can for a year
in a poor furnished room
lived in London like all of us
do you want something to change.
I said to Mickie, "I need a band, I have to perform. I'm unhappy!
I can't just sit around in the room and write songs and nothing happens. "
Back then I was still playing with the Nashville Teens.
I was just about to go to sleep in my little furnished place in Notting Hill
when I got a call on the payphone that everyone in the house shared.
"Hey, come over! Suzi needs a guitarist."
And I asked: "Suzi? Which Suzi?"
"Suzi Quatro!"
I went then and when I came in
Suzi sat on the floor playing Scrabble.
She looked up and did ...
A small, somewhat unkempt lady from America. Pretty.
We fell in love. He took care of me.
Mickie always said if I hadn't fallen in love with my great guitarist
if he'd got me a bodyguard. But Lenny had his fists.
The band developed their sound. With my songs.
They all came from boogie rock.
The quatro band worked immediately.
The right people just came together.
We went on tour with Slade. I was the opener. 20 minutes.
All own songs.
Back then, opening up Slade meant getting thrown into the lions' den.
She could hold her own.
I thought: "The lady dares something."
You could tell it worked, she would do it.
"While waiting for the storm
the work gets tough.
I hope it's worth the wait. "
One evening the phone rang at home.
It was Nicky Chinn. He said to Mickie:
"We're making hit records and we'd love to meet you."
Mickie liked the way
that took courage. So Mickie said, "Come to the office tomorrow at 11 o'clock."
I knew what records Nicky and Mike were doing
and said to Mickie, "Chinn and Chapman would be good producers for Suzi."
He just said, "Oh."
The next morning I heard him organize this on the phone.
He asked: "You know Suzi Quatro, don't you?"
I said, "Yeah, I've seen her in the office a few times."
He said, "I've been recording with her for months.
But I'm not getting it right
I'm not getting any further with her.
Would you like to write and produce a song for her ? "
Mike Chapman appeared on RAK Records.
He said, "Play your set."
So we played our live set, boogie stuff, a bit of rock 'n' roll.
He said: "Okay, I have a few ideas. I'll call you tomorrow."
But he called in the evening: "Come tomorrow, I think I've got it."
They wrote "Can the Can".
Mickie listened to it.
He just said: "Yes!"
I listen to one to two hundred songs a day.
And with one
As a demo tape or played on the piano, something happens.
You get goose bumps.
You just know: it is!
I knew she was a bass player and also
that Mickie didn't do much with the bass on their records.
It was more about her face and her voice,
the appearance of a 19-year-old.
In "Can the Can" the bass played a central role.
By the:
Very hard and driving.
And just cool.
He said, "Sing higher." I did.
"So high now." I did. "So high now."
"I am at the limit with my chest voice." And Mike: "That's what it's about."
Ich: "Was?" Er: "Ja."
I why?"
"In this position your voice has a very special quality."
Mickie Most thought it was a little too slow. So they made it faster.
That's why Suzi's voice sounds a bit shrill on the upper notes.
Mickie wanted to talk about my outfit because it was going to be a number one hit.
I wanted leather, he was against it.
But I really wanted to because I was such an Elvis fan.
Then he said: "Good. A jumpsuit."
I'll never forget like Mickie at our dining table
drew a leather catsuit .
That's how he wanted to see Suzi on stage,
entirely in leather.
Like Jane Fonda in "Barbarella", that was his inspiration.
"That's what we're working with," he said.
The record was on on my first photo shoot.
Gered Mankowitz took photos, the song was playing and I was wearing my first leather suit.
It was an important moment because he said:
"Show me the Suzi Quatro look!"
And everything just came ...
And I did ...
Whack! An important moment.
The plate matches the look.
The picture always reminds me of that moment.
"You want a Suzi Quatro look?" And already I had it.
That was when I became Suzi Quatro.
We were at "Top of the Pops" on Tuesday,
it was broadcast on Thursday.
Back then everyone was watching "Top of the Pops". It was so to speak
the Holy Grail.
Everyone wanted to appear there.
If that worked, you knew: the foot is in the door!
I only have this "Can the Can!" heard.
Just neurons and synapses that exploded in my brain.
My brain literally exploded.
Everyone said they were shocked.
First reaction: what the hell is that?
We were totally unknown on Wednesday.
Suzi and I were watching Top of the Pops on our little black and white TV.
Then it came and everyone freaked out.
Just because. "Damn it, let's go have a beer!"
Oh yeah, I remember when we went to the pub to have the Top of the Pops gig.
I had no idea what to expect.
We came in and everyone started screaming:
"That is her!" Total chaos.
I just thought, "Oh shit." It was scary.
I ran out and knew this was the end of my life so far.
She's really wild and just herself.
She doesn't really look threatening
she stands there with her boys
and she is the leader. And it literally explodes
for sheer talent
Energy and youth and ...
that makes them seem independent.
And Suzi is tiny!
A tiny person.
Wow! A little girl like that makes so much noise!
I had never seen a woman play an instrument in a band.
It never occurred to me that there could be.
You can see,
what influence she had
what symbolic power it had for so many musicians.
Many musicians have taken Suzi Quatro as a role model.
She was pretty much the only front woman in a band back then
who sang and played an instrument.
There weren't many. Were there any at all back then?
That kind of elemental rock 'n' roll, roots rock,
that she made
had a big influence on what came next , punk rock.
She wore a jumpsuit, she wore leather
had a simple hairstyle.
She was a natural beauty without much makeup.
When attractive people don't act sexy, they look even more attractive.
She had that perfect pouting, innocent face. Simply adorable.
Maybe girls were taught
not to strive for these things,
to say, "I can't."
And it took a Suzi Quatro first, who said: "Yes, it works."
At the time I wanted to persuade Tina to join our band,
even in college.
I was ready to help him
in his career, in his pastime, in everything he wanted to do.
But I couldn't imagine it for me. I played folk guitar.
And flute.
And handbells.
Tina said very wisely:
"I don't know, rock 'n' roll is for young men.
Not for nice girls. "
I said, "That's not true. Look!
Suzi Quatro. And she plays the bass
and sings. And check out her cool outfit.
Listen to it. She really rocks. She really can.
Like a guy, maybe even better. "
YOUR FIRST ALBUM "SUZI QUATRO" WAS:
PLACE 2 IN AUSTRALIA, 32 IN GREAT BRITAIN,
5 IN AUSTRIA, 4 IN GERMANY,
72 IN ITALY 142 IN THE USA.
Suzi was real.
It came so much from inside her
so unmistakable
it was much more than just showing that women can make music.
She showed us that we could be ourselves
if we believed in ourselves enough. Because Suzi never questioned that.
As a young teen I went to the teen club
dropped a coin and heard "48 Crash".
For me, "48 Crash" is their trademark.
More than "Can the Can" and "Devil Gate Drive". One of their best songs.
I sing along everywhere.
Me, Suzi and Lenny sang the background for all of them.
That was a lot of fun.
There was a lot of rejection because Suzi was a woman.
YOUR MOM WILL NOT LIKE YOU!
She wasn't a Cilla Black or Lulu
not a "normal" singer.
She dared to play bass and damn well at that too.
She dared to sing rock 'n' roll and she did it very well.
And she dared to wear leather and really turn it up.
She moved and played bass
like a real bass player. And without a pick.
She grabbed the strings and pounded on them like there was no tomorrow.
And at the same time she sang
which is really difficult.
"DAYTON DEMON" DOES IT:
The British press loved outsiders.
But if you came out big, it would tear you apart. That happened with Suzi's performances and records.
SEXIST TOOL OF CHAUVINISM
Many of the New Musical Express writers were very political.
Obviously all left students.
"... UNDER THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHAUVINIST PRODUCERS."
Many did not understand that a woman could be as successful as a man.
Men yes, women no.
I've sold a million records.
That attracts the skeptics who want to pigeonhole you.
Many thought my work was great, others said: "Commercial product."
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a commercial product.
That she made her way
proves how much courage she has.
Because rock music was a male-dominated business back then.
Let's take a look at the butt of the year.
Oh well
What must Suzi Quatro have been through?
in the beleaguered 70s.
What we are experiencing today
are just a holdover from when it was normal.
A woman was not allowed to say anything.
I never saw myself then or now as a woman
who makes music. Gender is not important to me.
I wasn't an emancier : "Look here, a girl can do that too."
I wasn't like that. I just said, "Here I am."
She has crossed the sex line.
Today she is considered an icon. At least for most of the people I know.
When we, L7, are interviewed today, gender issues rarely play a role.
It used to be that way all the time.
I guess the subject must have annoyed Suzi Quatro,
since she probably didn't give a shit.
We wanted to be like them.
We wanted to have this strength, this belief in ourselves
how she broadcast it.
And as a young girl, you want that too.
She could be perfectly pegged into this scene, this glam rock thing.
She wasn't a glam rocker, but she was part of that development.
We weren't a glam rock band.
I never used lipstick.
Only Suzi used to put on makeup for television or for taking photos.
She made Marc Bolan, Slade,
David Bowie, Sweet contesting first place.
Yes, she was part of the glam rock scene.
Mike kept coming up with new ideas.
He thought everything through carefully
and his sound engineer Pete Coleman knew what Mike wanted.
I wanted Mike Chapman to produce Blondie
because he wrote songs like "Ballroom Blitz", "Can the Can" or "48 Crash".
He was a disciplinarian, he always came in riding breeches,
with a steel helmet like MacArthur and a riding crop.
"So we should do that again."
Nobody is fooling him.
He swings the whip until he gets exactly what he imagined.
How are Suzi Quatro's songs created?
We dealt very intensively with Suzi's character.
She needs something wild because there is something untamed about her.
She is very calm in private.
But on a stage she becomes Mr. Hyde.
I was totally inspired: "Let me go."
I knocked out one by one.
"Devil Gate Drive" was next. That was, in a way, the biggest hit.
"KÃ–NIG DES SUNSET STRIP"
"Devil Gate Drive" ran a lot in my club
because of the first line: Welcome to the crash!
NOT IN THE CHARTS IN THE USA.
1ST TOUR OF AUSTRALIA, 1974
Mickie Most said: "The flight takes a long time. Wear what you want,
but when you get out you have to be in leather because you are a legend. "-" Good. "
That was the first time that there were noisy cameras. I loved it.
An English band with an American lady. How long have you been together?
I've always been together. - I wanted to hear that!
How much longer will you be able to go on like this?
Until nobody wants to see me anymore.
When will that be? - I don't know. Maybe when I'm old and wrinkled.
How do you see your image? - You're welcome?
How was the reception here for you? - It was very beautiful.
Where were you? We waited two hours. - Our luggage didn't come.
We have an escort for you. - As?
A motorcycle escort. - Yes?
Did you know that? - no
"ROCK-QUEEN" MOVED
There were all these Hell's Angels at the airport.
And in Australia they are not mothers-sons like they are here.
They were to be taken seriously.
There were many, and they were really scary.
The single "Can the Can" hit # 1 in England in just three weeks.
So far 200,000 pieces have been sold in Australia ,
more than any Beatles single.
It's not that big in the US
but in Europe she is the first lady of rock.
I had never heard screeching like the one in Melbourne .
2. AUSTRALIAN-TOUR, NOV. / DEZ. 1974
We had huge amplifiers
but they didn't win against the screaming audience.
Hallo Melbourne!
All my fans in Australia
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Buy my records so I can buy cars and houses.
AUSTRALIA, PRESS CONFERENCE
Do you have most of the fans here?
Yes, in Australia.
We are also in Germany a lot, we are everywhere.
You shouldn't have made it in America yet . What do you think?
I almost cursed, I'd rather not.
In 1974 I came home for my first American tour.
I had hits , so I came back successfully, which is what I wanted.
SUZI COMES BACK AS A STAR
First time since 1971, so I was very upset.
Coming home to the family, oh my god!
I had palpitations.
I had left her and didn't know what it would be like.
I went to my old room in the basement with Lenny .
My clothes were gone.
All the pictures were gone, the whole room was as if naked.
"Where are my clothes?" I asked my mother.
"Patti cut it up and made something out of it."
I was erased from her life, as if I were no longer there.
That was a real shock. It was very tough.
I always felt sorry for Patti.
She must have thought I had taken something from her.
But I don't have that.
You must feel guilty about leaving the family
and project your crap on us.
I BREAKED OFF MY SISTER 'S FINGERS.
They were proud of me, but they also resented me
and thought I had a carefree life.
You're looking forward to "Hello!" But everyone is closing . That is hard.
It would change if she did.
But I don't notice anything. Something would also change
if I gave it my all to have a famous sister.
I don’t.
Suzi is Suzi. She won't be pinned down. She protects herself.
That's how it is.
"Love is enough to share the burden
or to heal the inner child?
Or did something die on this endless road ? "
Big applause for honest 5-finger rock:
With the first album she made a club tour in 74.
In late 74 she toured as the opening act for Uriah Heep.
Und 75 bei Alice Coopers "Welcome to My Nightmare"-Tour.
A great tour.
We figured out who to take on the tour and she had time.
We knew Suzi was great, she wouldn't disappoint the audience.
I saw it as Alice Cooper's opener. And I was full of admiration.
This little powerhouse
the bass very deep,
did a Chuck Berry thing on the giant stage of the Forum.
We had a really good time.
Six appearances in a row, then a day off
then again six appearances and so on.
We toured the UK, America
Italy, Scandinavia and Japan.
And now Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia.
Are there any breaks?
A couple of hours here and there.
You were always on tour. And the more successful you were, the more.
65 cities in 72 days. At that age you are indestructible.
You're 20, 21, 22, always on the go.
And full halls every evening.
After the performance we sat somewhere
a bottle of scotch showed up and we stayed up forever.
Then back on the bus or the plane and do it all over again.
Suzi Quatro drank beer,
smoked cigarettes.
I've never seen her use harder drugs.
I wasn't a sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll girl. I didn't do any of that.
I was the rock star only on stage.
I like to be on stage like that, go home and live normally.
You are always in leather on stage, very rocking.
Have you ever thought about doing something else?
Yes, I always picture myself singing love songs in an evening dress.
Will you do it? - That was just a joke.
I still remember the first Rolling Stone cover.
I thought, "That's it! America is calling!"
On the cover I thought, "Wow! You really did it."
I think that's a yardstick. If you are on the cover, then you are who.
I read about a club in LA
der hieÃŸ "Rodney's English Disco".
It was playing that British glitter sound that couldn't be heard here.
I guess I started going to Rodney's in 1975
and also to the "Sugar Shack".
Man, did I dance on "Can the Can"
und "Your Mama Won't Like Me"!
It only took place in the discos and in the underground,
before the radio picked it up.
Once I left the club with a bunch of kids
that we called "glitter animals",
drove to LA airport
to meet Suzi Quatro and her band.
The musicians heard Suzi Quatro, many of the girls learned to play the guitar because of her.
Many of them learned drums and bass because of her.
Before that, they would never have dared to do it.
Joan Jett was one of those
who saw Suzi Quatro as a prototype. Because she really did it.
Joan Jett looked exactly like Suzi Quatro.
We had to dye her hair
change clothes.
She worked on the way to move
to have everything from Suzi
the corridor or the way she shakes her hair.
"Joan, you are great!
Be Joan and let Suzi be Suzi. "
Your influence was crucial to me
to find out who I was to find my style
to become a personality of its own.
And through her I got the strength
to do it.
We got to LA and made friends with Joan Jett and some of the Runaways.
Joan was a great admirer
really a big fan of Suzi.
All the bands have always been in the Hyatt House, also known as the "Riot House".
As soon as you went in, Joan Jett came running.
"Give me an autograph!" She was always there.
She's just running away. I know that, I've been with runaways for three years.
There was a great magazine in Germany, the "Bravo".
Suzi Quatro was often on the cover.
It was big all over Europe.
There were also posters in "Bravo".
I put these posters up in my English disco.
On one was Suzi Quatro in a leather bikini.
And Joan Jett always sat in the corner where the poster was hanging.
At some point the poster was gone.
I had my own posters. I wouldn't have stolen from Rodney.
In the States , the key to success is radio.
If you're on the radio, you have a chance.
In America we were on the radio all the time. Always 4 or 5 in a row.
You arrive in a city and go to a broadcaster before going to the hotel.
And then another transmitter and another.
If you wanted to put a record in America back then
Did you send guys out with plenty of cocaine?
and if everyone was high the record might have been played a few times.
RAK RECORDS 'NEW FEMALE STAR CONQUERS AMERICA!
Mickie had had huge success in the United States.
With the Animals, the Yardbirds and so on.
But the people he worked with
didn't understand Suzi.
He just went to his people ...
There's nothing wrong with Clive Davis either.
I was in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Clive
and played him "Can the Can" and "48 Crash".
And all his talent scouts in the room said
they would make huge hits out of it.
His promoters couldn't do it.
I thought she was going to be a star in America. But that didn't happen.
COMPOSER AND PRODUCER
When I heard the record I thought:
"The best girl I've ever heard."
But somehow this style of music never made it, I thought
it is a sure-fire success.
It was probably too early for the industry, too early for the market.
They weren't ready for it.
The states weren't ready
there was even more macho.
There was such a Lynyrd-Skynyrd attitude.
The crowd here didn't like this British glam rock music.
Something was missing from it. Something wasnâ € ™ t transferring.
And after the Alice Cooper tour
there was no real reason to bring her back to the States.
There was nothing greater in sight for them.
I did not understand.
She never got over not being so successful in her own country.
Because she should have been a big star here.
We got married in England.
We bought a house near his parents.
We were very close, formed a unit,
never got tempted ...
As a personality he may have looked a little pale,
but I think his stamina and stature were really important to her.
I was aware that it was always about "Suzi".
In my private life I have therefore tried
to make it all the more important.
And he knew I did.
He should never be "Mr Quatro".
Mr Udo, the promoter, said:
"You have to do something for me."
"Was denn?"
"You just got married."
That should be kept a secret, some idiot had leaked it.
"That will upset Japanese fans.
But when we play a wedding in Japan
she will make up for that. " -" All right . "
We didn't know what that meant.
I had to put on a fucking kimono and shoes that were way too small
waddle like a geisha.
And that's when the Runaways came to town
and were invited, of course.
They looked at us like, "What the hell are you doing?"
"You'll find out soon enough. In Japan that's called a doctorate."
Slowly but surely I got the feeling
that Nicky was exploiting my abilities.
I didn't mean to feel that way, but he made me feel that way.
Mike probably didn't like
that Nicky was on the records as a songwriter .
Nicky is a businessman, not a musician.
I wanted to get started in America and he hadn't the faintest idea about the market there.
So I went.
When he split up with Nicky
and no longer wanted to work for someone he had worked for,
everyone thought, "That's it. Restart."
In the contract with Mickie an album was agreed per year,
and when Mike left there was a gap.
So Mickie produced an album with me.
Mickie Most produzierte "Aggro-Phobia".
Mickie didn't have what it takes to produce me.
The album wasn't bad, but Mickie couldn't do my edges.
That's not the sound you want from Suzi and the band.
"TEAR ME APART" ONLY TAKES 27TH PLACE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
"AGGRO-PHOBIA" DOESN'T MAKE IT INTO THE US CHARTS.
SUZIS US- LABEL WILL NOT RENEW YOUR CONTRACT.
In the studio are Joan Jett and Suzi Quatro.
How are you guys? - Fine.
Suzi, haven't seen you for a long time. Some years.
Suzi, do you know Joan was a big fan of yours? - Yes.
She was at all of my appearances. And in the lobby of the Hyatt House.
Now Joan's a rock star ...
Right.
Suzi, when is there another concert in LA?
As soon as a new album comes out. We're changing the record label in America
that's why it's a little quieter.
"A place in your soul where you can live.
Nobody knows him, there is nothing to be seen.
The answers you're looking for are waiting there
whether right or wrong, you decide. "
A casting agent who worked for Happy Days asked me:
"Do you think Debbie Harry would audition for that role on Happy Days?"
I said, "It's not a role for Debbie Harry, it's a role for Suzi Quatro."
My oldest daughter
had a lot of Rolling Stone covers in her bathroom.
I described the role to her and she said, "Sit on the toilet and look over there."
And there was a cover picture of Suzi.
I imagined this character to be very cute and sexy.
We didn't need anything "hot".
We weren't a TV show
with big-breasted girls.
We wanted pretty, sexy girls.
So we were looking for someone sweet and cute, and that was Suzi.
SUZI QUATRO GETS ITS OWN TV SHOW
HAPPY DAYS FOR SUZI
SUZI QUATRO MEETS FONZIE
Es war total hip. "Fonzie" war so cool.
And then suddenly Tuscadero came. Leather Tuscadero.
And that was Suzi! And we all: "This is our Suzi!"
Here, Leather!
There she is.
Hi, Joanie, what's up?
I knew she was a rock 'n' roller
but not that this incredibly small person
had so much power.
Suzi Quatro had to be taken seriously.
You can tell right away that Richie Cunningham pretends to play the saxophone
really silly in his university outfit,
while she's obviously a real musician.
Many people said to me:
"I saw you on Happy Days.
Leather Tuscadero!"
The first couple of times I said
"No! This is Suzi Quatro, man!"
But people were so convinced.
So after the first couple of times I just said, " Well ? What do you mean?"
That made an impression
and got Mike Chapman to make records with her again.
We were still friends with Mike.
I told Suzi we should get him back.
He said, "Okay, I'll think about a song."
A day later he called: "I have an idea. Can the band come?"
"When?" - "Now!"
That was a chance to bring Suzi back into the record world.
And Mike took it.
Mickie Most didn't know about it. We were under contract with him.
Mike sent him the finished piece and Mickie said, "I'll listen to it."
He didn't look happy at all.
We went to his office and he hung up.
Halfway through, he broke off: "It 'll be fine."
And we thought, "He's not happy."
"If You Can't Give Me Love" hit and we were on the road again.
SUZI COMES BACK
Immediately after that came "Stumblin 'In".
The ballad with Chris Norman from Smokie
is one of my favorite records from her.
A huge success in America
probably her biggest hit there, but things didn't go so well here.
At that time Great Britain could n't do anything with a Suzi,
who's not a glam rocker in leather with a big bass guitar.
Nicky Chinn met the folks from Happy Days.
And he told them
"Happy Days" damage my fame as a rock star.
I should stop. I have that too.
Are you crazy? - Rich, I'll do this.
Are you crazy?
SUZI QUATRO PLAYED "HAPPY DAYS" IN THREE RELAYS
It was great, I enjoyed every moment.
They offered to develop my own series about Leather Tuscadero.
I liked to play the role, but didn't want to do an offshoot of "Happy Days".
Thank you, Milwaukee.
We have rejected "Happy Days" for the past two years,
otherwise I'm too focused on this role, then Suzi is just Leather Tuscadero.
I've shown that I can act. Now we're going to look at scripts.
She was offered a film
About a true story in Australia, where rockers rule a town.
She also refused.
Nicky and Mike both lived in LA now.
I thought I was rid of him.
A year and a half later he bought a house
three doors down on my Beverly Hills street.
I thought to myself: "He knows something about business."
So I said, "Nicky, I'm doing a record label
and you run it!
I find the talents, make the records,
you run the business. "
I said to Nicky it would be good for our label
to have a star.
Why not Suzi?
Mike said to me:
"I only work with those
who are with my label. "
Mike was my producer.
Most of my hits were from him. I just thought:
1980 SUZI LEAVES MICKIE MOST AND SIGNS WITH DREAMLAND RECORDS.
I made a deal with Robert Stigwood. It was about millions.
That had to work, otherwise that was it.
Mickie didn't believe it. I think you lost a lot of money.
DESPITE GOOD CRITICS, "ROCK HARD" FAILS ON BAD SALES.
It didn't work and that was it.
The end of our partnership. Because he didn't do his job.
And bye!
Hi, my name is Suzi Quatro. I was already at "Countdown" in 1974
and will still be there in 1984.
If Suzi had started in the 80s
would have made her a mega-star.
"Can the Can" would certainly have become number 1 in America.
I came from America and made it here.
Here they were already so far, not in America.
Then I did "Happy Days", and through "Leather Tuscadero"
America was suddenly ready for a Joan Jett hit.
In 1982 JOAN JETTS "I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL" WAS IN 1st PLACE FOR 7 WEEKS.
In 1975 MICKIE MOST HAD PRODUCED THE ORIGINAL WITH THE ARROWS.
People thought it was me. "Top of the Pops" called:
"Oh, you're back!" - "No.
You were probably wrong. "
You think you've done everything, know what you need, what you want.
"I'm not going into the trap.
I don't, "shouted the fool. And yet you are here.
I always wanted to have children. I love children.
POPSTAR SUZI QUATRO FINALLY MOTHER AFTER 5 YEARS.
I've had as many front pages as Princess Diana.
That surprised me, it didn't fit my image.
I am a normal person, wanted children, a family.
And then there were 200 photographers in front of the hospital.
Lenny said to me, "Don't mess with mom now."
And I just thought, "How?"
"Don't forget that you are Suzi Quatro!"
What a stupid remark! Yes, I am Suzi Quatro, but also Laura's mother.
Since I was his livelihood, he wanted me to stay "Suzi".
Who is singing there?
1984 RICHARD TUCKEY IS BORN.
Richard. - It's not Richard!
She knows Mama is Suzi Quatro.
She points to the television: "Suzi Quatro".
She knows there is mama and mama who works.
She was with us recently. On the way home she only sang: "48 Crash".
They shouldn't become spoiled celebrity brats.
They both went to normal school and should live normally.
I grew up like that and had great parents.
My mother taught me fixed values.
I wanted that with them too.
I was just a normal mother.
Others didn't get along well with it.
After the kids were there
Lenny just ... kind of walked away.
He was always out, went to pubs,
somehow broke up with me, was distant.
When I did "Annie Get Your Gun", tried something different,
I sensed Lens disapproval.
He 'll deny it, but I felt it.
He wanted to do rock 'n' roll and not watch me do a musical.
It wasn't for Lenny.
I understand his grudge.
Go over there and I'll teach you how to hit properly.
You couldn't even teach me to spit wide !
THE MUSICAL STARTS IN CHICHESTER.
According to enthusiastic reviews
IT CHANGES TO LONDON.
It was good that she was American. Definitely for the British audience.
But she can play and sing, has a great stage presence.
And Annie Oakley is a woman like her
a 19th century Suzi Quatro.
I've waited all my life for praise from my father.
I always hoped in vain for praise from my family.
I remember how I thought before the performance:
"Do I need praise from my father?" And when I was 36 I thought for the first time:
"I don't need it."
And he came: "Damn it, Suzi, I'm really proud!"
I had never heard that before.
No.
When she was doing Annie Get Your Gun, I was talking to someone from CBS in London.
He was very interested.
When the press wrote about her doing the musical
he said, "She can do that, of course, her decision.
But don't expect the UK audience
buys rock records from the same artist . "
Then: pantomime.
For a rock 'n' roller, that's the kiss of death in Great Britain.
The absolute kiss of death.
Lenny was starting to feel like Mr. Quatro.
As if he'd lost his balls somehow.
He stayed outside. And she didn't want to be kept small.
Very important for them: Nobody can stop them.
Not your own husband, nobody. Not the sisters. She always wants to go on.
Always step on the gas.
I will not be pigeonholed.
You want to trim my wings.
How can you do this to whoever?
Just because you love the Suzi Quatro with the bass does n't mean I'm just that.
I felt like doing so much.
I happened upon a book on Tallulah Bankhead. As if it had meant to me.
I started reading it and thought, "I'm writing a musical about the lady."
CO-AUTHOR TALLULAH
She had made a lot of rock music
and wanted to expand their spectrum.
With the Tallulah Bankhead musical, she could.
I liked her because I felt
that it could not be fathomed
nobody knew her inside.
She had this facade.
I've read everything about her
to get close to her.
She was lonely as a little girl.
Her father didn't love her, so she put on some kind of mask.
Tallulah was maladjusted. She cursed, smoked, drank,
she was bisexual.
She really was a formidable person.
I break all the rules. I do not care!
The world is full of hypocrites.
If only they would dare
to fly with me.
She had moved away from the family.
I've visited her a few times.
Our parents too.
We knew she was having problems with her husband
and that they would probably part.
But we weren't really included and suddenly the separation was there.
That was difficult because I'm a daddy child.
DAUGHTER
I gave him my dog so he wouldn't be alone.
It took me six years to break up
because I am Catholic and I wanted to be absolutely sure.
Either my marriage dies or I do.
And I wanted to live.
"The curtain is falling.
The applause echoed.
The crowd leaves the hall, only a lightbulb lights up the stage.
I stand there for a minute and listen to the sound of silence.
The thunder is over
I feel myself coming down. "
Suzi scores again and only has to hit one target.
ROCK JOURNALIST / AUTHOR
Suzi positioned herself very broadly, stayed open.
She went to the theater,
continued to tour.
She hosted a talk show,
starred in television films, had a radio show,
played on "Absolutely Fabulous".
I'm from Detroit. I don't talk. So: sex? Drugs? Rock 'n' roll?
Rock 'n' Roll.
This woman has so much energy
Personality, talent, that's crazy.
She could have done anything.
If she wants to write poetry or a novel , then she does it.
Here is Suzi Quatromit from the new "Quatrophonic" series.
Suzi Quatro, tonight on This is Your Life.
You paved the way for many other rock 'n' roll stars.
Suzi, you know you have inspired me a lot.
Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders!
The honor of standing here ...
SUZI RECEIVES HONORARY DOCTOR.
Your options are limitless.
"Selling a lot of dreams,
tells many stories
many years passed. "
DETROIT, TODAY
As you get older you start to think:
"Could I have done without it all?
No. " But you think," Yes, indeed,
I should have been more willing to compromise or better said
I should have accepted some things better. "
There will always be a little void in me
because I would have liked to have had more time in Detroit
more time to just be a child.
I always wanted to get away. Now I may be sorry
but i was gone for so many years and it was a great time
For some reason I want to go back there
and I don't know why.
Do you expect the child to open the door for you?
I do. I see little Suzi, I feel her.
I could just go back to this life.
I've got it on the sidewalk in front of the house
looked for chalk lines because I used to paint there.
If little Suzi had opened the door ...
You stare at your old house, suddenly the door opens and she stands there ...
What would you say
I would say:
"Stay and enjoy it while you can.
It won't stay that way forever. " I would say." Take your time
don't run so fast. "
This is the little girl.
Maybe now I will turn to the little girl again.
I wouldn't say, "Don't go," just: "Don't run like that,
take your time with life. "
My mother said she let me go too early.
She said, "You always went where you wanted to go.
My little Susan. "
Helen Quatro died in 1992 at the age of 78.
I'll tell you something now
what I never wanted to say.
Arthur Quatro died in 2008 at the age of 94.
I take the risk,
won't fall on your face
I would give anything for a day with my parents . Everything! Just leave me a guitar.
You can have the rest. For a day this ...
... unconditional love.
You can't buy that. Success cannot give you that.
Can you see it? I'm always like this.
I have to get tall Suzi out. Suzi Quatro. Does not work.
I said you would be free, no shackles to hold you.
I would like to introduce my backing singers . This is perhaps unusual
but they're not some "old" backing singers.
With an emphasis on "old" because they have been with me for almost 40 years.
And why? It's my sisters.
Please say hello to Patti, Nancy and Arlene!
You want a relationship
to your sisters who are sometimes unwilling to do so.
Exactly, they are not.
But I want to and I keep trying.
I got the lesson on the last Australian tour .
Sold out, great audience,
the band is great, I am doing a great job !
And yet I needed praise from my sister.
She was in Brisbane and said, "Good concert."
Maybe a little more precisely?
A A graduate, a professional for languages ​​and words,
and she just says: "Good concert."
And again: why did I need this? Well, it was just like that.
I will never be a fan of Suzi Quatro.
No.
And that's not important either. I admire everything about her
and I think she will continue to be successful, but I will never be her fan.
Because she is my sister.
You have to love yourself. No matter what you do in life.
You have to find it within yourself, you can't always get it from outside.
Because the fans won't be on your deathbed.
They are not here.
It is important to be valued by those you love most.
That is exactly the reason.
Appreciated by those you love most.
Maybe that's their revenge. Because I didn't take her with me.
Maybe they just don't want to give me what I want.
Because I didn't give them what they wanted.
I think I've made my peace with it now .
It does not matter. I can wait for the rest of my life , it won't happen.
I have to be content with that.
I now realize I made it in spite of them.
But more importantly, I made it because of them.
I see the contradiction in this, but the two go together.
One can always regret: "If only I had ..."
But when you look at what you have, you can tell that none of it was a mistake.
Suzi didn't make any mistakes.
The mistake is they missed them. That's where the mistake lies.
In my opinion , Suzi has Quatro in the music world
played a crucial role.
She has shown incredible talent everywhere.
She is still there.
And she still packs it.
That’s something.
It should really get a lot more attention
much more honored in music history.
For being a band leader so early and having hits like that.
Suzi had a dream in Detroit
and after all these years she's still living that dream.
That’s great.
I think the positives far outweigh the negatives.
The downside is: you have to pay the price for it at some point.
You can be very lonely at some point
get tempted and think:
"I'd like to, but I'm in a relationship."
At some point, often, you speak to people
and don't know if they like Suzi Quatro or you.
That is the price of fame.
Sometimes you walk outside, look like shit
and someone asks, "Aren't you Suzi Quatro?" And you just think, "Oh God."
You are in the toilet
and someone slips pen and paper under the door for an autograph.
That happened to me. Sometimes it gets too intrusive.
I am committed to everyone who buys my records
everyone who comes to my concerts.
I am obliged to always do my best.
If you want an autograph, I have to do it.
How dare I get out of a bad mood
to sniff at one of them?
This is how I go about my appearances.
No matter what's going on in my life
when i do a show i do a show.
Then you get everything from me. All I have to give
SON
Your music keeps you young, is your only true love.
My son Richard kept saying for 25 years
that he wants to write songs.
Somehow the timing was never right.
But six months ago he said: "Mum,
I have to write a few songs with you. "
Just before you quit
did you have a good ...
Just let me again ...
He wants to remind me who I am. What did he mean by that?
He only gave me a few riffs, that was new territory for me
but somehow he pushed the Suzi Quatro button.
He touched that part of me and I left.
It should sound like me, but in the now.
IM MÃ„RZ 2019 ERSCHEINT "NO CONTROL", IHR 24. ALBUM.
"Ich sehe die Welt in ihrer ganzen Pracht. Die Geschichte ist nun erzÃ¤hlt.
Und durch meine Augen grÃ¼ÃŸe ich das Leben
und lasse meine Wahrheit sich entfalten."
Ich weiÃŸ noch, diese SommernÃ¤chte... Im Auto cruisen, in PrÃ¼geleien geraten...
Eine Bar nach der anderen, jede Nacht.
Lasst mich sein, wie ich bin. Wie auch immer das sein mag.
Ich glaub, ich hab das erreicht, wofÃ¼r ich auf diese Welt gekommen bin.
Ich hab zwei wunderbare Kinder, eine wunderbare Enkelin,
eine gute zweite Ehe.
Immer noch sagen Frauen: "Du bist meine Heldin!"
und MÃ¤nner: "Du hingst an meiner Wand."
Ich sage immer zu Rainer: "Das nehme ich gar nicht ernst.
Vielleicht war ich ein Pin-up, aber...
dieses Pin-up war Suzi Quatro."
Das Filmteam aus Australien hat mich interviewt, was mich sehr gefreut hat.
Ich fÃ¼hlte mich sehr geehrt.
Am Ende sagte Liam, der Regisseur: "Schreib doch einen Song dafÃ¼r!"
Und ich so: "Ach..."
Aber dann: "Das wÃ¼rde ich echt gern machen, denn da gibt's so viel zu sagen!"
Sie kommt aus der Autostadt,sie ist einmalig.
Ganz in Leder,bist deiner Zeit weit voraus.
Dein Bass hÃ¤ngt so tief, du singst,als hinge dein Leben davon ab.
Einmal nur mit dir "Can the Can"auf dem Devil Gate Drive.
Suzi, du hast mich komplett verhext!
Red Hot Rosie, ich will frei sein!
Rock 'n' Roll Rosie, Glycerine Queen, wild, unique Suzi.
Little Bitch Blue, the wild, unique Suzi Q.
She left home for London, lived in the hotel for a year.
roamed the streets to the beat of her fearless heart.
I'm only one of 50 million
that this star has enchanted ...
Q - U - A - T - R - O!
You rocked into my soul!
I'm only one in 50 million.
There's no doubt you struck the spark.
Because I was there and saw "48 Crash".
The guys say:
"The world belongs to men!" and grin at one another.
But you scream: "I'm a rocker!
And you can do me! "
