Suzi Quatro’s “The Race Is On” was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and first appeared on the 1978 LP If You Knew Suzi…. The aforementioned album is Quatro’s biggest US success as it included the chart-smasher “Stumblin’ In.”

Here’s Suzi in a September 1979 broadcast performing “The Race Is On” on European music show Rock Planet. Though aired in ’79, this appearance was recorded back in ’78. Enjoy.
