Suzi Quatro: If he d done that backstage he d have been singing soprano for the rest of his life

In 1971, Quatro was playing with Patti and another sister, Nancy, in the heavier band Cradle when she was spotted by Most – in town to visit Motown – who told her she was a one-off. After an uncertain period, the “Chinnichap” hit machine of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman wrote and produced 10 of her 11 UK top-40 singles between 1973 and 1980. “They tailored songs to suit my personality and produced my original songs,” she says. “We were a perfect fit. After that it was nonstop attention. I couldn’t go to the pub any more, but I stayed normal, my biggest achievement.” Quatro is at pains to point out that she always felt like a musician, not a woman musician, but the world didn’t always treat her equally. There is a jarring incident in the Suzi Q documentary where the 1970s English chatshow host Russell Harty – the Graham Norton of his day – slaps her forcefully on the bottom.
