THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE "QUEEN of ROCK"
SUZI QUATRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUZI QUATRO PLAYS BASS and SINGS IN ROCK BANDS.
SUZI TOOK HER BASS and SMASHED THROUGH THE GLASS CEILING of the MUSIC INDUSTRY.
SUZI'S and MICKEY MOST'S ACTIONS AT RAK RECORDS IN 1972 ALLOWED THOUSANDS OF WOMEN and GIRLS TO GAIN THE CONFIDENCE TO PICK UP AN INSTRUMENT and a MICROPHONE.
IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION of STRONG and POWERFUL FEMALE ARTISTS THAT PLAYED ALL THE INSTRUMENTS in THEIR BANDS and AS SOLO ARTISTS.
