The original "rock chick" started out as the lead singer in a Beatles inspired garage rock act with her sisters known as "The Pleasure Seekers" that was part of the "Detroit Rock City" scene


The group did a Motown review. Here is a cover of the Four Tops "Reach Out" where 18-year old Suzi possibly invents the heavy metal "neck roll" at 2:45

The sisters renamed the group "Cradle" and went into a psychedelic/acid rock direction with Suzi more in the background.
Suzi split with the sisters went to the UK solo invented the leather clad "rock chick" look and was a major part of the early 1970's glam rock era there




Back home in the USA she starred in the popular sitcom "Happy Days" as "Leather Tuscadero" and had her only American hit, a duet with Chris Norman "Stumblin In"


She has been a popular DJ on various British Radio programs or programmes as they spell it there

This song is what she has always been about
