Singer/songwriter Susan Jacks was born as Susan Pesklevits on August 19, 1948 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, one of eight siblings.
A striking blonde with a sweet and angelic voice, Susan first started singing at age seven on the radio on Saturday afternoons. Her family moved to British Columbia when she was nine years old.

The follow-up songs "Where Evil Grows," "That's Where I Went Wrong," and "Good Friends?" were all solid Canadian radio hits. The Poppy Family disbanded in 1973 and Susan divorced Terry later that same year, although she kept his last name professionally.
