ir packed with revelations, intimate insights, and history-making moments from the tour manager, friend, lover, and confidante to some of the most revered rock icons of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Chris O'Dell wasn't famous. She wasn't even almost famous. But she was there. From witnessing music history in the recording studio with The Beatles to working for The Rolling Stones during their infamous 1972 American tour, Chris O'Dell has seen and worked for the most influential musicians in rock history during some of their most intimate and awe-inspiring moments.
She was in the studio when the Beatles recorded
The White Album,
Abbey Road, and
Let It Be, and she sang in the
Hey Jude chorus. She lived with George Harrison and Pattie Boyd and unwittingly got involved in Pattie's famous love story with Eric Clapton. She's the subject of Leon Russell's
Pisces Apple Lady. She's "the woman down the hall" in Joni Mitchell's song
Coyote, the "mystery woman" pictured on the Stones album
Exile on Main Street, and the
Miss O'Dell of George Harrison's song.
The remarkable, intimate story of an ordinary woman who lived the dream of millions--to be part of rock royalty's inner circle--Miss O'Dell is a backstage pass to some of the most momentous events in rock history.
