The same musical household that brought the Pleasure Seekers into being also contained another musical offspring in Michael (Mike), older brother of rock-star Suzi Quatro. Mike's dad, jazz band leader Art (also reportedly the house organist at the old Olympia--the real home of Red Wings hockey) passed along more family musical tradition when Mike was a youngster, teaching him keyboards at an early age. His prodigious talent garnered the pre-teen Mike a piano-playing spot on The Lawrence Welk Show in the late fifties and numerous prestigious playing opportunities.

 At the tail-end of the sixties, having not achieved his youthful goals as a musician, Mike turned to the business of staging concerts and, inspired by Russ Gibb's success with the Grande Ballroom, became Detroit's biggest rock music promoter, booking a significant number of well-received shows around the city and throughout the state, even gaining a prominent "special thanks" on the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams" album in 1968. While the concerts he staged were still part of the light-show era, Mike was an early proponent and pioneer of the new closed-circuit video/video tape technology, anticipating the role video would play in live concerts more than a decade later.

Michael made a renewed committment to his musical talents starting in the early seventies, embarking on what might best be described as a star-crossed performing and recording career which found him running the musical gamut--from warm-up act for Detroit area favorites KISS to big-label (Motown) album contracts to playing for tips in bars over the next twenty years.  Without a doubt, Michael was and is an immensely talented multi-keyboard player/arranger and his compositional skills are without dispute, but his recording career continually suffered from what might be called stylistic schizophrenia.  During his earlier recording years, output veered sharply from full-tilt rockers with his Jam Band to Keith Emerson-like flirtations with classical excerpts in a rock setting (such as "Rockmanninoff's Prelude in C Blunt Funk" on his third album) to balladeering and back again, often on the same record.  Each of his seventies recordings has it's moments but without a singularly distinct and defining style, Michael always struggled to find a faithful fan following, although many of these recordings achieved their deserved critical praise.  Michael's musical renown in recent years comes from within the environmental movement (Greenpeace and others) which embraced "Ocean Song" from his last album, "Vision".

In 1996 Quatro joined forces with former K-Mart Chairman Joe Antonini to finance a venture which was known as Quatrophonics; a music and video production enterprise founded to provide the technology for using the internet to distribute video and music products to the home consumer.
