Suzi Quatro, The Undisputed Truth’s Joe Harris and Doug Ashdown

The First Lady of Rock is 71 years old and proud of it. SUZI QUATRO has just celebrated her 50-year long career in the music industry with a massive 2.5 hour show at London’s Royal Albert Hall that audiences are raving about. This week she's releasing a 3 cd box set, a 2 CD box set AND her latest book - her 7th! It makes me tired just thinking about it. I caught up with the irrepressible pocket rocket from her 15th century home in the UK where she tells me all about her poems, her amazing energy levels and her 'EGO' room on the top floor of her house. Do you remember THE UNDISPUTED TRUTH? They were a Motown recording act in the early 70’s, put together in the image of The Temptations although lead singer, JOE HARRIS denies this. He’s been with the group since day one (although he's been singing since 1957) and he walks us through those early days when the group sang on Edwin Starr’s War, on Ain’t No Mountain High Enough with Diana Ross and on Stevie Wonder’s Signed Sealed and Delivered. Today Undisputed Truth are one of only 3 Motown acts that are still current and feature more than one of their original members. Very reluctantly, Australian veteran singer-songwriter DOUG ASHDOWN agreed to have a chat with me this week. Doug is now 80 and living in Adelaide, Australia, far removed from the hustle and bustle that once followed him as he spent decades on top of the charts. As he reflects on his career, we hear the stories behind his many classic hits including "Winter in America". I also report back for one of our listeners who asked me to track down English 60's pop sensation POLLY BROWN. Polly used to front a band called PICKETY WITCH. Well, after a lot of hard digging I finally have some answers to share. Remember, if you'd like me to track down someone for you and bring them onto the show - one of your favourite artists from the 60's, 70's or 80's - just send me an email through the website www.abreathoffreshair.com.au or dm me through any of my socials https://linktr.ee/abreathoffreshair I'd love to hear from you and if you like what you're hearing ... I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review/rating and subscribe.
