..or at least in the US. Obviously she loses the OTL career in europe. but what are her gigs likely to be should she not fly off to London with a few Pounds exchanged from Dollars in her purse?
I think it would have been unlikely that she would have been in the Motown programme on ITV on Sunday night. Or have a show on BBC Radio - Rock'in with Suzie Q of Radio 2.
What happened in Europe had to do with some clever chaps who saw a marketing niche in this tough sounding Detroit girl. A marketing vehicle for selling US derived music. There was also a gestating market for Rock Chicks in the US. Questions is would any US producers or music company suits seen Suzi as their girl, or missed the general market opportunity entirely. The connections her sisters had developed had some potiential, but its not clear to me where those would have led.
Someone questioned if the US audience would buy Suzies talent & style. that seems odd since previously women like Jopplin or Slick fronted bands with forcefull dominating personas & that continued with those like Joan Jett. Maybe some specific marketing blunder would have sunk Quattro, but I cant see her failing with something similar to her Euro stage style.
