Suzi Quatro
Intro magazine (c.1974)

Before punk, Detroit-born Suzi Quatro was pretty much the only role model for young female rock fans in Britain. Her competition, such as it was, came from two-way family favourites like Lynsey de Paul and the female half of th New Seekers: flouncy, frilly, feminine. Whereas Suzi describes her image at the time as being 'a very ballsy woman: still feminine but ballsy.'
