"Can the Can" is the second solo single by American singer-songwriter Suzi Quatro and her first to reach number one in the UK, spending a single week at the top of the chart in June 1973. It also reached number one on the European and Australian charts in whose market Quatro achieved her most consistent success throughout her career as a recording artist. The single belatedly became a hit in the US peaking at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976. It was re-released as a single in the UK, with "Devil Gate Drive" as the B-side, in 1984, but failed to chart.[citation needed] The single made the charts again in 1987 in the UK at number 87,[citation needed] it also appeared on her 1995 album What Goes Around.[6]
This single made Quatro the first female bass guitar player to become a major rock star and therefore broke a barrier to women's participation in rock music.[7][8][9]
a second RAK single, 1973's 'Can the Can', topped hit parades throughout the world at the zenith of the glam-rock craze
Suzi Quatro was one of the biggest female pop stars of the 1970s – notching up No.1 hits with glam rock classics Can The Can and Devil Gate Drive.
The only lady to get in top twenty and at number one, with a solo number was the English Suzy Quatro, with her hard rock and noisy number 'Can the Can'..
