Music Fix- Suzi Quatro

Oh Suzi!! Suzi Quatro really rocks (and knows how to rock a jumpsuit!)! She found success in Europe and Australia, but was sadly overlooked here in the U.S. with the exception of her role as "Leather Tuscadero" on "Happy Days". As you might guess, she was a big influence on Joan Jett. Here's 1973's "48 Crash".
