Suzi Quatro talks to Johnnie about a new documentary film about her life, Suzi Q.

Suzi Quatro talks to Johnnie about the new documentary film about her life, Suzi Q, which charts how she redefined the role of women in rock 'n' roll after her break out in the 1970s.

Before Suzi Quatro burst on the music world in 1973, there were almost no women in rock, and absolutely none who played bass and sang lead vocals and led the band and rocked out and reached millions of people around the world, re-writing the rule book for the expected image of women in rock & roll. Singer, songwriter, bass player, bandleader, actress, radio-presenter, poet – there is only one Suzi Q, the pint-sized, leather-clad rocker who has sold more than 50 million records and in 2019 released a new album, celebrating 53 years as a working musician.

Also on the show, Johnnie adds another classic 7" record to his Jukebox and hears all the stories from This Week In Music.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
