On Part Four of our Fall Preview, we welcome Arlene Quatro for the first time on the podcast! It’s a fascinating and in-depth conversation about joining the groundbreaking all-female band, the Pleasure Seekers, in 1966. She was considered the “Foxy Lady” of the group, because of her looks and the way she moved on stage. The male fans adored her! She shares what it was like being a mom of three as she was asked to join the band, how her husband, Leo Fenn, became the band’s manager, going on tour with three small children, her initial stage fright, and finally the freedom she felt when playing the keys and dancing on stage like she had always dreamed of. Our discussion is real and raw, as well as a reflection on the limitations women faced during this period of time and what it was like to rebel against it with the help and support of their father.
