Format

Rockin' with Suzi Q was a weekly BBC Radio 2 music radio programme. It was researched and presented by Quatro.[1]

Programmes started with Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Rock 'n' Roller". In one programme, Quatro said "I've been doing this song for 30 years. It's what I was. It's what I am. It's what I always will be."[4]

Next, Quatro would play her favourite blues, rock, and soul tunes from independent record labels, relating them back to her own life and experiences.[1][4] She would also read out feedback received from listeners. An example was:

"Suzi is back with the music we love,
though many of the artists are in heaven above."[5]
