One Electric Day – The Three Suzi Quatro Number One Hits

With Suzi Quatro heading back to Australia for Duane McDonald’s One Electric Day in November, here is a Noise11 lookback to the three number one hits of Suzi Quatro.

All three of Suzi’s number one hits in Australia did not make the USA charts at all.

Here first was ‘Can The Can’.

‘Can The Can’ started a successful partnership for Suzi Quatro with Australian songwriter and producer Mike Chapman. Chapman and his songwriting partner Nicky Chinn had a string of his in the 70s for Suzi, The Sweet, Smokie, Racey and Mud. Mike later produced the ‘Get The Knack’ album for The Knack and Blondie’s ‘Parallel Lines’ album featuring the single ‘Heart of Glass’.

1973’s ‘Can The Can’ was a song about female empowerment, an anthem in its day.

’48 Crash’ came just a few months later and established Suzi as a Glam Rock artist. This one was again witten and produced by Chapman and Chinn.

Suzi Quatro’s third Australian number one came in 1974. ‘Devil Gate Drive’ was more from Chapman and Chinn. Years later when Suzi was cast as Leather Tuscadero in Happy Days, the song featured in the season 5 episode ‘Fonzi and Leather Tuscadero, Part II’.

Suzi Quatro will headline One Electric Day in Australia in November.

One Electric Day will also feature The Angels, Baby Animals, The Screaming Jets and Chocolate Starfish.

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.
