This has meant dragging out the record collection, and it has given me an idea.
I have decided to choose an album or CD from our music collection to share with you, each Monday.

There will be ones that I love, ones I can't believe I bought, ones given to us, and some inherited from the previous generation. This may (or may not) bring back memories for some of you. It might even give you a laugh, occasionally!
So here's my first choice.
"Quatro" by Suzi Quatro! [1974 E.M.I.]
with Dave Neal - drums, Alistair McKenzie - keyboards, and Len Tuckey - lead guitar.
Boy was she a dynamo. All of 5 feet +a couple of inches, petite figure, sweet face. But energy to burn and a gutsy hard rock voice! She also played (plays) bass.
In the early 70s, I loved her! Being only 5 foot nothing myself, and having a petite figure back then, I thought she was the most wonderful female alive. Her leather, skin tight outfits were to die for!
Songs on this album include "The Wild One" (probably my favourite); "Klondyke Kate"; "Devil Gate Drive" (who from that era doesn't remember that one!); "Hit the Road Jack" and "Keep A-Knockin".
I'll keep this one, for posterity, but these days, it's probably a bit heavy for me, to play the whole album at once.
I heard her interviewed a couple of years ago, and she was still out there touring with her band.
I loved her too! And I've still got a couple of her records, this one included. Did you ever see her in concert? I went a couple of times in the seventies to see her, she rocks!
ReplyDeleteLucky, lucky you! I never got to see her in concert, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteIs Suzi the lass who made an appearance in Happy Days with The Fonz. No I am not that young, I watch it with my kids. Oh dear where have the years gone. Do you want to borrow some vinyl LPs lol, we have some but unfortunately I dropped some when getting them down from the top shelf.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you are more my children's ages than mine... I never got past the Beatles! :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved the beatles, too!
ReplyDeleteActually, Pennie, I think you're wrong about ages. Must do some research and suss out our age difference...LOL
I was also a young Elvis fan!
Sadly I think I own this record too
ReplyDeleteI used to sing along to her with my hairbrush!!!!!
Di
You did your research well Lindi LOL I remember my kids buying Suzi Quarto LP's... actually saw Suzi on TV on a chat show in London a couple of years ago, she was lovely and spoke about her childhood, she's a great interview-ee. I got the feeling that she lives in the UK now as do many American stars apparently.
ReplyDeleteSo how did your Research go Lindi... I forgot to come back to this! and I wonder why my second comment came up as anonymous??? I was born July 1945 and I was more of a Johnny O'Keefe fan than an Elvis fan but David and I think our son Tomos sounds just like Elvis. Nerys was a David Bowie fan and she was born 1971! See why I think you are more her age than mine!! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh Gawrd there's a hard Word Verification... nnzsenuu
No nonsense zombies see everything new under undies LOL
