Suzi Quatro

Suzi Quatro is one of those figures I find genuinely pioneering. Stepping out in head-to-toe leather, bass slung low, fronting a band in the early 1970s, she normalized something that hadn't existed: a woman owning hard rock on her own terms. Chart-toppers like Can the Can and Devil Gate Drive made her huge across Europe and Australia, but what stays with me is the door she kicked open for everyone who followed. Singer, songwriter, bassist, actress, and still performing well past seventy. I respect grit over trend, and Quatro is grit incarnate. She built a road others got famous walking.
