Suzi Quatro Chris Norman Stumblin’ In

“Stumblin’ In“ is performed by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro. Written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, the song was originally released as a standalone single and was later added to some editions of the Suzi Quatro album If You Knew Suzi... It was Norman’s first single as a solo artist. The writing-producing team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn was behind many of the 1970s hits for Suzi Quatro and for Chris Norman’s band Smokie. In 1978, Chapman, Chinn, Quatro, and the members of Smokie were all at a party in Düsseldorf. As Chapman recounted, “Suzi was playing bass, and Chris was there with his arm round her, and they were singing into a mike, and I thought what a fantastic duet they’d make, because they looked so great together. The next day, I was in the studio with Suzi, and during a break, I came up with the line, ’Our love is alive’…I looked at Suzi and said ’What about this, with you and Chris? Wouldn’t it be great?’ and she said it sounded fantastic.”
