For our 350th episode, we present to you the fantastic, world-renowned Rock ‘n Roll singer-songwriter-musician-poet and author, Suzi Quatro, who happens to be making her second appearance on StoryBeat. Suzi's been writing and performing music since she was in her teens and is widely considered to be one of the most influential rock bassists and singers of her generation.Suzi has sold over 55 million records, putting out such hits as 48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive, The Wild One, She's In Love With You, If You Can't Give Me Love, and her duet with Chris Norman, Stumblin' In.Suzi's also well-known for playing Leather Tuscadero on the hit TV Series, Happy Days, as well as for her various other TV appearances.Suzi turned her bestselling autobiography, Unzipped, into her one woman show, which premiered at London's Hippodrome in 2007.A prolific poet and writer, Suzi has published such books of poetry as Through My Eyes, Through My Heart, Through My Words, and Through My Thoughts. Her first novel, The Hurricane, was released in 2017, and she recently published her latest novel, Grave Undertakings. I've read Grave Undertakings and can tell you it's a fantastic dive into the minds of a college psychology class, and what happens when the small group of students and their professor analyze themselves and one another revealing their own inner lives and sensibilities. This is the rare work of fiction that I believe should be taught in psychology classes everywhere.Aside from her wonderful writing, Suzi continues to tour and release new albums.

Ever wondered why Chris Norman left Smokie? What he's doing now or if the band wrote their own songs? Tune in for all of these answers and more. As you know, Chris is a British singer-songwriter renowned for his iconic voice and role as the lead vocalist of the band Smokie. Born in 1950, Chris was exposed to music from an early age, influenced by the rise of rock ‘n' roll in the 50s and early 60s. Inspired by legends like Elvis Presley, Little Richard, and The Beatles, he developed a passion for music that would shape his career. In the late '60s, Chris teamed up with school friends Alan Silson, Terry Uttley, and Ron Kelly to form a band initially known as The Yen and later Kindness. Their musical journey took a turn when they became Smokie in the early 70s, after being discovered by producers Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. Smokie quickly rose to international fame with their distinctive blend of soft rock and pop. Their first major hit was "If You Think You Know How to Love Me" in 75, followed by chart-topping tracks like "Living Next Door to Alice," "Lay Back in the Arms of Someone," and "Oh Carol." Norman's raspy, emotive voice became the hallmark of Smokie's sound. With their catchy melodies and accessible rock style, Smokie became one of the most successful British bands of the 70s. The band's music was characterised by its heartfelt lyrics and warm harmonies with Chris' vocals often drawing comparisons to Rod Stewart. In 1982 Chris Norman decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. While his departure marked the end of an era for Smokie, he quickly found his footing as a solo artist. He initially gained fame outside the UK, particularly in Germany, where he found a loyal fan base. His first major solo success came in 78 when he recorded the hit "Stumblin' In," a duet with Suzi Quatro. It was his 1986 single "Midnight Lady" that truly cemented his solo career. Hugely popular in Europe, he continued to release successful albums throughout the 80s and 90s. His solo work took on a more polished pop-rock sound, with hints of folk and country influences, which appealed to a broad audience. Tracks like "Some Hearts Are Diamonds" and "Broken Heroes" became fan favoruites. Chris' solo career continued to flourish into the 2000s, with regular album releases and extensive touring. Despite his departure from Smokie, he maintained a good relationship with his former bandmates and occasionally reunited with them for special performances. While Smokie continued with new vocalists, Chris Norman remained the voice most associated with the band's biggest hits. In 1995, Norman was honored with an award for “International Video Star of the Year” by CMT Europe. Over the years, he has experimented with different styles, blending rock, pop, folk, and country in his solo work, showcasing his versatility as an artist. Today Chris continues to tour extensively across Europe and other regions, performing both Smokie classics and his solo hits. His live performances draw large audiences, captivated by his timeless voice and charismatic stage presence. Chris Norman's career has spanned over five decades and as he continues to perform and record new music, he delights fans both old and new. From his time as the lead singer of Smokie to his successful solo career, Chris Norman remains a beloved figure in the global music scene, with a legacy that continues to grow.

Life from Death | I AM | Pastor Chris Norman
When Chris Norman and Michelle Adams joined us, we discovered the heartbeat of Fort Wayne's spiritual life—a city being reshaped by the quiet, yet powerful force of prayer. Chris, a long-standing member of Grace Gathering, and Michelle, a former dental industry professional turned PrayerWorks administrator, share their poignant narratives, inviting us all to witness the communal metamorphosis taking place. Through their experiences, we grasp how the dedication to prayer is not only transforming individual lives, but also fostering a unity across our city that mirrors Jesus's vision for a connected and loving community.This discussion transcends mere storytelling, as we explore the tangible ways prayer has strengthened the bonds within our community. From Officer Cody's initiative that brought Bible study into the police department to the woman who found solace in our prayer room amid marital strife, these are real-life affirmations of the spiritual renaissance blossoming in Fort Wayne. These narratives not only warm the heart but also serve as a beacon of light for those seeking evidence of prayer's impact on both personal growth and communal support.Yet, prayer is a journey, and like any journey, there are both peaks and valleys. Reflecting on the importance of embracing our limitations and leaning into God's grace. We also delve into the practical ways our listeners can engage with PrayerWorks, emphasizing how every act of service, whether leading worship, hosting, or giving financially, is vital to the lifeblood of our spiritual community. Join us for an episode that promises to enrich your soul and offer new perspectives on the transformative power of prayer in action.
OK, it isn't rock music, but the Soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" was a tremendously successful album both commercially and critically, and it had a major impact in popular culture of the later 70's. The theatrical release of the movie actually went back to December of 1977, but it was the winner of the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in February 1979, one of only three soundtrack albums to do so. Composed by the Bee Gees and prominently featuring that band, this soundtrack is the second-best selling of all time behind "The Bodyguard." The Bee Gees actually didn't get involved with the film until it was in post-production. John Travolta was dancing to Stevie Wonder and Boz Scaggs when the scenes were filmed. Columbia Records refused legal clearance for Scaggs material because they were pursuing another disco movie at the time, and the Bee Gees were commissioned to write the songs for the film. The brothers Gibb wrote the songs primarily in a single weekend. The resulting success would change the trajectory of both the Bee Gees and actor John Travolta. The Bee Gees would become a group often compared to the Beatles in the late 70's. Travolta, already well known for his role in the television series "Welcome Back, Kotter," would become an A-list celebrity and a household name.In 2013 the album was added to the National Recording Registry in the Library of Congress for preservation.Lynch is responsible for this travesty, as the other participants do so under protest. Support your local rock band, folks! Night FeverThis song was originally called "Saturday Night," but Robin Gibb was concerned about that name because of the number of songs already bearing the name. "Night Fever" was inspired by Percy Faith's "Theme from 'A Summer Place'", and it spent 8 weeks at the top of the Billboard charts.How Deep Is Your LoveThis pop ballad was released in September of 1977, ahead of the movie. It had hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 by Christmas Day of 1977, remained there for 3 weeks, and spent 17 total weeks in the top 10. Barry Gibb has commented that this is his favorite Bee Gees song. It won Best Pop Performance by a Group at the February 1978 Grammy awards.You Should Be DancingPrior to their involvement with the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, the Bee Gees first released this track on their album "Children of the World" in 1976. This is the song playing when Travolta takes over the disco dance floor. Jive Talkin'Here is another song that had been previously issued before the soundtrack was released. The lead single from the album "Main Course" was released in May 1975, long before "Saturday Night Fever." The song was originally called "Drive Talking," and the rhythm was inspired by the sound the band's car made crossing the Julia Tuttle Causeway as they traveled to the studio in Miami. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Dancing Queen by ABBAA mockumentary called "ABBA: The Movie" was in the theatres at this time in the U.S. STAFF PICKS:Is She Really Going Out with Him by Joe JacksonWayne gets the staff picks going with a song that asks why good looking women date horrible men. Joe Jackson is often confused with Elvis Costello, another artist releasing albums at the time. This is Jackson's debut single from his debut album, "Look Sharp."The Gambler by Kenny RogersBruce brings us Kenny Roger's signature song. Songwriter Don Schlitz wrote this song in 1976 and it was recorded by several musicians including Johnny Cash before Rogers took it to number 1 on the country charts and number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The gambler looks through life through the lens of poker, knowing "every hand's a winner, and every hand's a loser," and of course "you've got to know then to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em."Stumblin' In by Chris Norman and Suzi QuatroRob's staff pick is the sole top 40 hit by female rock pioneer Suzi Quatro, and Norman's only hit outside of his previous band, Smokie. This duet made it to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both singers have a smoky vocal sound.Do You Think I'm Sexy? by Rod StewartLynch notes Stewart's ability to surf the waves of popularity with this staff pick. While Rod Stewart honed his craft in the rock genre, he achieved both popularity and notoriety with his polarizing choice of embracing disco music in the late 70's. Today this song remains one of his most popular tunes. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Pegasus by The Allman Brothers BandThe Allman Brothers were decidedly NOT a disco band in this instrumental jam.

Susan Kay Quatro was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1950, and grew up pursuing performing. Suzi was playing bongos on stage with her father's jazz band by the age of eight, and by 14 she's changed her name to Suzi soul and had left school to become a Go-Go dancer. By the age of 15, Suzi was fronting the band the Pleasure Seekers, with her sisters. The band toured the country and were invited to Vietnam to entertain troops, before changing their name to Cradle in the early 1970's and transitioning to a more hard-rock sound. It was performing with Cradle where Suzi was first noticed by British producer Mickie Most, who was interested in Suzi as a solo performer. Mickie invited her to London and introduced her to professional songwriters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, which turned out to be a winning formula. In 1973, “Can the Can” flew to number one and went on to sell two and a half million copies worldwide. Between 1973 and 1980, Suzi featured in the British charts for no less than 101 weeks, and has sold to date over 55 million records. Since then, she has released fifteen studio albums, ten compilation albums, and one live album. Other songs, including "48 Crash", "Daytona Demon", "The Wild One", and "Your Mama Won't Like Me", also charted highly overseas. While Suzi enjoyed great success both in the UK and Australia, she is mostly known in the US for her cameo on hit TV show Happy Days as Leather Tuscadero. However the appearance might've helped her duet "Stumblin' In" with Smokie's lead singer Chris Norman reach No. 4 in the US. Suzi is still active, writing, broadcasting, recording, and this year she's embarking on her 38th tour of Australia.
