"Can the Can" by Suzi Quatro

It was fifty years ago that "Can the Can" by Suzi Quatro topped the UK singles chart. The song was Suzi Quatro's first major hit and her first no. 1 record. It was also significant in that made Suzi Quatro the first female bassist to achieve rock stardom. In that respect it opened up the doors for future female rock stars. Oddly enough, while "Can the Can" went to no. 1 on the UK and Australian charts, it only went to no. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100. Suzi Quatro would always have more success in Britain that she would her native United States.
