Susan Kay "Suzi" Quatro (born 3 June 1950) is a British-based American singer-songwriter, bass guitar player, and actor. She is the first female bass player to become a major rock star — this success in the 1970s empowered women (at a time when rock was dominated by men).
In the 1970s Quatro scored a string of hit singles that initially found greater success in Europe and Australia than in her homeland. But, following a recurring role as a female bass player on the popular American sitcom Happy Days, her duet "Stumblin' In" with Chris Norman reached number 4 in the USA.
Between 1973 and 1980 Quatro was awarded six Bravo Ottos. In 2010 she was voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends online Hall of Fame.
She continues to create new albums, to perform, and to research/present new radio programmes.
Quatro played the bass guitar in the all-female bands The Pleasure Seekers and Cradle with her sisters Patti, Nancy, and Arlene. Also, according to her autobiography, her first bass guitar was a 1957 Fender Precision, given to her by her father.

Standing on the edge of nowhere
Wishing I could chase these blues away
Got to find a reason somewhere
Try to live my life another way
Who can make me alright
The candy man can
Who can please me all night
The candy man can
Drifting, lost, and in confusion
Like I'm rolling down a mountainside
Got to find a new solution
Try get off this roller coaster ride
Who can make me alright
The candy man can
Who can please me all night
The candy man can
Standing on the edge of nowhere
Wishing I could chase these blues away
Got to find a reason somewhere
Try to live my life another way
Who can make me alright
The candy man can
Who can please me all night
The candy man can
The candy man can
The candy man can
The candy man can
The candy man can
The candy man can
The candy man can
Wish that I could chase these blues away
Wish that I could chase these blues away
Wish that I could chase these blues away
