Suzi Q (2019)

I always loved Suzi Quatro’s Leather Tuscadero character on Happy Days, but I was thoroughly ignorant of her music career beyond that. This documentary follows her career all the way from her days performing in a garage band with her sisters to the current day. It’s surprising that she never really made it big as a rock star in the United States. Her music rocks as hard as any other musicians and was a great influence on many female musicians as evidenced by the number willing to appear in the film and testify to her talents. While Suzi’s career was fairly wholesome compared to many other rockers, the film doesn’t shy away from showing what warts there are in her story. It’s almost amusing to see how snippy she and her sisters can be with regards to some aspects of their long history together.
