She started her singing career as a teenager in the band The Pleasure Seekers. After the band broke up Suzi moved to London to become a solo artist with a string of hits during the mid 70’s.”She was really one of the first women to break the mould and play hard and driving rock’n'roll” (King. B) in addition to this she often recorded cover songs that male artists had released without changing the lyrics, she wanted to everyone out there that women could do what men could and possibly even better “she showed the world that women could do rock ‘n’ roll just as well as men and her music still has a drive and message that has so much to say.”(King. B)
