Barry crocker-Susie Darlin- Suzi Quatro-Suzie Darling

[stegatops1]

Love the outfit at 2:24!

[d57z12]

Love Suzie Quatro but this is crap.

[malabu2]

@d57z12 thats what i love about youtube 100s of viewers think something sounds good then you get the odd one or two who don't ,good onya d57z12 -you have a good day mate !!!

[byron8181]

@d57z12 couldn't agree more!

[MEC1992]

See what I mean?? Like Buddy Holly & other 50s-60s singers, Robin Luke's classic is a tune that can absorb current pop culture themes & singers' interpretations and still stand the "test of time". Wonderful!!

[knutz7]

I did a tattoo on suzie in the early nineties, the day after I saw her in concert, made my day it did.

[guyglowmore1]

never heard this before. pretty good cover of robin luke's song. like the orig better as it has that hawiian ching and calypsoesque way. 3 decades later it evolved into bob marley's stir it up. xxxooo and so much more. . .

[MiklJ61]

Re Nunez et al...I think it depends which version you heard first...I'd never heard Robin Luke version till today, and while I can dig the rockabilly vibe, this Barry Crocker one is the one I remember from my teens, and It hits the spot. Probably only relaesed in Oz.

[onlyjoetee]

No rock bassist ever looked this damn cool with the instrument..and played it so perfectly...

[portervillelouis]

Suzie is beautiful...but...this version is missing the energy of Robin Luke's original

[Niemmy]

I never thought Barry Crocker sang that song! I thought he always sang old lady songs!

[LRNunez]

I love the Suzi Quatro pics, but I don't like this version of Robin Luke's classic song; it is devoid of any feeling.

[malabu2]

Thats  ok Nunez , but this version suits the Suzi Q vibe far better ,plus this vid gives other people outside of Australia the chance to hear Barry Crocker's version .

[LRNunez]

Yep, I agree with that. I guess B. Crocker's version didn't get much airplay in California. I don't recall ever hearing it on the radio. Thanks for giving folks like me a chance to hear it!

[miktaliff]

@malabu2 I agree with you Malabu the better version I believe. IMHO.

[kevinherbert]

LR Nunez: please educate with what you think has 'any feeling'.

[LRNunez]

No need to educate ... But I suppose I could have communicated my message more clearly. What I meant to say is that the song did not evoke any "good or warm feelings" within me, i.e, it simply didn't move me at all like the original version. I guess it's a matter of individual musical tastes -- what may turn me on, might turn you off and vice-versa.

[anitashelby]

I Really Love this song Very Much!  5*s Thanks Anita

[DejaVuSu]

[garyco762]

Gr8 to hear this song and to see this of Suzie.

[mdog2700]

! ***** ! Shes Fire !

[jmsims1269]

Ah...the early 70's high school,2SM,great times,great music.Thanks,you never hear this song anywhere.

[machiavelli99]

Barry Crocker released this in 1973.

[frankscan65]

And featuring his Wife Pat Carroll and ONJ on backing vocals as well.

[lilynick1]

Oh wow! Transported back in time! (and things seemed so much better then). I haven't heard this in ages. Thanks for uploading!

[melpigwig]

Always loved this song and suzi to .Great Job MALABU. 5*****...!from the PIG.

[shibe123]

Kevin I totally agree,great sound for the early 70s

[kevinherbert]

The production values are so beautifully slick....

[malabu2]

I assume you are talking about my suzi slide show and song combo.?..LOL...

[kevinherbert]

Actually not...I was referring to John Farrar's music production...he went on to success as the lead writer/producer for Olivia Newton-John's US triumphs..he was also a cornerstone of one of Australia's top bands in the mid 1960's (The Strangers)..he also had a great pop falsetto voice...do I sound like a fan of his???

[malabu2]

Sure does and thats ok ,thanks for the info feel free to comment any time.

[hunkydaboyz]

he was doing a livr gig one night , they requested this song , but the band couldn't do it live , re production facilities at the gig weren't up to it

[kevinherbert]

This pre dates Suzi Quatro by about 10 years...I didn't think she had anything to do with it...

[kevinherbert]

John Farrar's early work....Crocker doesn't like it apparently...It's still great...

[malabu2]

Yes it is ,hard to believe and i think his is the best version on youtube !

[saanzacs]

Couldn't agree more, a great talent to boot!!!

[saanzacs]

Is Barry Crocker the same guy who did the two Barry MacKenzie movies in  Australia?

[kevinherbert]

Sure is.....

[zatopecara]

A great blend of a song I have always loved and photos of sexy suzie.

[cranmeyer]

Youtube is so great for those songs you don't hear but can never forget! Thanks!

[NetTuber]

Nice effort.

This brings back many good memmories.

Thanks for sharing. ^_^
