This week: The First Lady of Rock is 71 years old and proud of it. SUZI QUATRO has just celebrated her 50-year long career in the music industry with a massive 2.5 hour show at London’s Royal Albert Hall that audiences are raving about. This week she’s releasing a 3 cd box set, a 2 CD box set AND her latest book – her 7th! It makes me tired just thinking about it.
I caught up with the irrepressible pocket rocket from her 15th century home in the UK where she tells me all about her poems, her amazing energy levels and her ‘EGO’ room on the top floor of her house.
Do you remember THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH? They were a Motown recording act in the early 70’s, put together in the image of The Temptations although lead singer, JOE HARRIS denies this. He’s been with the group since day one (he’s been singing since 1957!) and walks us through those early days when they sang on Edwin Starr’s War, on Ain’t No Mountain High Enough with Diana Ross and on Stevie Wonder’s Signed Sealed and Delivered. Today Undisputed Truth are one of only 3 Motown acts that are still current and feature more than one of their original artists.
Very reluctantly, Australian veteran singer-songwriter DOUG ASHDOWN agreed to have a chat with me this week. Doug is now 80 and living in Adelaide, far removed from the hustle and bustle that once followed him as he spent decades on top of the charts. As he reflects on his career we hear the stories behind his many classic hits including “Winter in America”.
We also report back to one of our listeners who asked to hear news of 60’s popstar, POLLY BROWN who fronted the English band PICKETYWITCH. Well, after doing tons of research I have some answers. If you have an artist you’d like to hear from just send me an email through the website www.abreathoffreshair.com.au
Hope you enjoy this week’s show!
