The legendary rocker Suzi Quatro joins Johnnie for a chat about the 1970s.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Suzi Quatro's breakthrough single Can the Can. She's celebrating by embarking on a UK tour playing through her hits throughout the years.

Suzi was born in Detroit, Michigan and learned drums from an early age, playing in her father鈥檚 jazz band. Being ever resourceful, it wasn't long before she formed her own all-girl group - The Pleasure Seekers.

But it was in the early 70s that she got her big break, when she was spotted by producer Mickie Most, who signed her to his own RAK Records. She then moved to England and, with the label's help, supported Thin Lizzy and Slade on tour, as well as releasing a string of hit singles that included Can the Can, 48 Crash and Devil Gate Drive.

Today, as well as the tour, Suzi has just released a collaborative album with KT Tunstall called Face to Face.

Elsewhere on the show, another listener will nominate a track for Johnnie's Jukebox, a Better Than (the) Original track, plus there will be stories from This Week in Music, with the help of the 大象传媒 Archives.
