Trailblazer Suzi Quatro had no idea she was paving the way for Debbie Harry and Joan Jett

Suzi Quatro was oblivious to her influence on fellow female artists until the 2019 documentary 'Suzi Q'

Suzi Quatro had no idea she was paving the way for artists including Blondie's Debbie Harry and Joan Jett to embrace being "different".

The 74-year-old musician - who scored a number of hits in the 70s, including 'Can the Can' and 'Devil Gate Drive' - didn't realise the impact she was having on fellow female artists until after the release of the 2019 documentary 'Suzi Q', which documented the way she helped redefine the role of women in rock 'n' roll when she broke out in 1973.
