- Whether it's Pattie Boyd or Yoko Ono, the partners of famous musicians have inspired countless love songs. But sometimes a groupie can be the muse for a classic tune, as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and many others know all too well.

Who do you think is the most famous groupie of all time?
Pamela Des Barres. 🤟🐻❄️
Me.
Lembit Opik.
Pamela Des Barres, Anita Pallenberg, Uschi Obermaier...
“Lightening” Lori Maddox was her name !
Patty Boyd had three of the best songs written about her! George Harrison wrote “Something” and Eric Clapton wrote “Layla “ and “ Wonderful Tonight” …she must have been very special!
You beat me to it. Yes, Pattie Boyd.
Snapper
Yep and Patti Boyd married George Harrison and after divorcing him, married eric Clapton. Way beyond a mere groupie she was a wife and memorable enough to have several songs written for her.
And with "Bell Bottom Blues", that will be four! Definitely the most influential!
Married 44 years this day. I always think of "Something" about my wife.
Now days, these musicians would all be indicted for statutory rape.
You mean they would have false allegations made against them for money
There is nothing false about the claims these men took advantage of their position to have illegal relationships with minors.
@@ansc6472Mandy Smith sleeping with Bill Wyman.Aged 14 was not a false allegation. It was common knowledge. He later married her when she reached 18. Loads of bands in the 60s and 70s. Where at it. Nothing false about it.
Elvis and Priscilla
Jerry Lee Lewis and cousin.
Oh come on you guys! Sweet sweet Connie from Little Rock!!!
I figured she'd be #1
Funny and telling how Gene S didn't want his own "plaster caster" made, considering how he won't shut up about how many women he's been with. If he had something to show off, I think he would be all over that project... I could be wrong of course.
Not a Gene fan by any means but the boy does sport a mean tongue.
Of course he won’t have a plaster cast made of his short comings!!
Perhaps he doesn't want to risk anyone using it for their own profits.
@@rockit3422 ~ Ha, my thoughts exactly!
the biggest thing Gene has is his mouth
Little Wing was written for Devon Wilson. Dolly Dagger was wtitten for Lois k. Jimi had ladies and friends who he had nicknames for. I was a friend in Seattle ( not a lover ). My childhood nickname was Angel and that is what he called me. He introduced me to them both. Btw, some of these women were not groupies. Women like Pattie Boyd.
Connie was a legend. She also was a substitute teacher.
Groupies inspired songs? A song that could be a memory in the public's mind forever!
I knew about groupies when I saw "Almost Famous" when I was 17 years old!
And?
“Groupies” were always good to me. I however always tried to elevate them above what popular opinion would have one believe regarding these folks. Had great times with many road friends, I however always confirmed they were of age; easily done by taking them to the bar, bartender does the dirty work for you. If they weren’t able to drink I would take them to dinner and then made sure they got home, safely.
I've never truly understood idol worship or idolatry , despite being in the music industry myself . It's a sort of fetishism that continues to stupefy me to this day . I personally found groupies to be child like , feeble minded dullards that were soliciting manipulation in order to achieve the fame they are desperately craving themselves .
I'll bet that's part of the draw, and along with low self-esteem. A chance to be close to something greater than themselves.
You're right on. Pamela Des Barres is a good example of that. She's an elderly woman these days and still promoting her groupie stunts like she contributed something of value to society. It's sad and pathetic.
One acts a bit silly when one's having a crush or is in love 🥰 We also have to keep in mind that, back then, these legendary rock'n'roll names weren't as big and legendary as they are today, so the arguement, that groupies just did what they did for fame, doesn't hold up. They went on to write books because people want to hear the stories!
I think there is an element of demi se×uality to the groupie phenomenon - we hear the music and lyrics and interviews and get the feeling we know the person.
@@IrinaTundraTVwell said, sometimes a banana is just a banana.
Some were actual kids too which adds insult to injury
Sweet : Fox on The Run!
Roseanne Arquette has Roseanna by Toto and In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. Not quite Patty Boyd but still pretty good!
..sweet. sweet Connie..she had the whole act...and thats a natural fact...
What about the 13 year old Jimmy Paige had stashed in a hotel room with body guards, so he could have her in between gigs. Any songs about her?
Let's add the unsavory single entitled " jailbait " by ted nugent . Yet , some actually desire to respect this repulsive person with no inhibitions or morals , make that make sense .
Lori Maddox. No sure about any song tho…
I love Jimmy Page, but when I heard this story, really disrurbs me !
@@rhondawaller4457It is worrying, isn't it? This goes beyond: the time were different then.
Stairway To Heaven
I believe the Beatles' Day Tripper is about a groupie.
Interesting .. the one song "We're in the American Band" was truly about a groupie Sweet Connie" I never heard about that story until I read Paul Shaffer's book two years ago!
And NO mention of PAMELA DES BARRES is made here!!!
❤❤❤
The great blues guitarist Albert King did a version of the Stones' 'Honkey Tonk Women.' King changed the the words in 2nd verse to: "Later Vail, covered me in roses / but I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind." A week or two prior to the recording, King had met (and slept with?) a groupie friend of mine named Vail, from Bethesda MD. She was 17, blonde and pure white-skinned and every other word from her pink lipstick mouth was 'oh wow!' Another lady friend of mine, a petite 18 yr old Jewish lass, got cozy with Fats Domino, but that's another little story, ....among many. I'm blond and leader of an R&B band. One night after a bar gig, a British groupie took me up to her hotel room. She kept saying I reminded her of Keith Relf, the lead singer of the Yardbirds, who she had slept with, years prior.
As hard as it is, to hear, groupies knew exactly what they were doing, by the time they were 15. They were pretty much the same girls, and would show up at the venues no matter who was playing.
Also like e.g. at about 11:16, it's easy to say/claim that so and so song is about her, but it's not exactly as if she's the first person convinced that a song/poem/book is about her/him without that it necessarily is true.
You are correct about young groupies!! I was one, fake ID in hand. I chose to go find the boys and lied to them about my age. Us 80s ladies took control of our backstage life. We weren't the trinkets of the 70s. ❤❤❤
@@cocktailsandrocktales a 304 weather they we’re living in the ‘70, ‘80 or even today, are still only a 304…
You forgot "Layla" and "Bell Bottom Blues" about Patti Boyd.
Pattie wasn’t a groupie though. She had a successful modeling career & met both George & Eric while modeling
@@KathySandru she met George on the set of A Hard Days Night. She was the blonde girl on the train Paul was trying to sweet talk and she's seen again when they do I Should Have Known Better.
Gordon Lightfoot’s girlfriend was a beast. You think he could’ve done better
who are we to judge - like attracts like, after all
"Sundown," ABOUT Catherine Evelyn Smith BEFORE she gave John Belushi the accidental overdose that killed him(Belushi), CONFESSED that Mr. Lightfoot could have done better.
Saw Iggy last summer. Amazing show. I’m not sure any new grps were within a hundred miles.
I'm surprised there aren't any classic rock AI covers of Toxic Gossip Train yet.
Wanna read more groupies? Read Pamela De Barres book "Let's Spend the Night Together"
*Most music journalists who work in hardcopy do not tell tales out of school...*
These girls werent nieve at all, childhood wasnt the same then, or now.
Lori Maddox was with Jimmy Page when she was 14
Lori Maddox. I think Sick Again on Physical Graffiti was written about her. I believe she was 14 a model for those teen magazines. Where were her parents???He was married at the time too I believe
Led Zeppelin… Sick Again… Lori… and groupies in general.
I have a secret.... I've always wanted to be a groupie❤❤
Led Zeppelin - Hot Dog about Audrey Hamilton
I watched to see if Sweet, Sweet, Connie would be included. I wasn't disappointed - then I was...

And it makes not one bit a difference how anyone feels about Paige, Plant, Bowie, Iggy or Tyler.
Poor Pauline.
Rosie Palms and her four fingers.
you might want to re-edit the photo @ 12"18...it 's gonna get demonetized if YT sees the pubs on the pubic hairs...!!! just saying, and yes I looked and now others will as well
Nothing Else Matters...
Ann O'Keefe.
Lori was 14 but way out of bounds even for a 19 yo page. He never credited any songs to her ( See Hammer of the Gods) but I always wondered about Traveling riverside blues. But nothing ever was official.
I'm not a groupie, but I may have been gang Bangled around '89.
I heard the Go Go's were famous for orgies.
..the banger sisters???
Linda Plaster Caster has one of my fallic statuettes. Before she died she wad making busts of female busts
Too bad she didn't give you a dictionary....it's phallic, cretin
What about Dirty Diana which is literally about a groupie?
was about the chimp...😉
@@rudy.p5726
same thing
@@rudy.p5726nah, that was [no so] Human Nature.😐
MJ had groupies? I thought they had names like Timmy and Georgie Jr.
…..just kidding. It does seem odd tho.
And one towards whom Mr. Jackson, as anti-sexual as he was, felt NO sentiment other than ABSOLUTE HATE???
TYLER is a monster..u dont mention half of it.
The house fire that was meant to kill her you mean? That he had the nerve to mention her in his autobiography w/o her permission while he totally white washed his drug usage to protect the young children he had w/ wife # whatever. She was married and had teenaged children by then and was left w/ some explaining to do. He had had her Mother give him legal guardianship of her at 16, so that he could cross State lines w/ her. He was the one who told her that he wanted a child w/ her. But, by the time it comes for her to deliver, he's well finished w/ her and rather than having a baby when she wakes up, she finds he had brought a doctor in to perform the late term abortion (which, to me, despite being pro-choice is nothing short of killing a viable human at that point). I met him at an after-party on a press pass (not mine) in Toronto, when ALL of this would have been going on.

You're absolutely correct in calling him a monster.
She knew exactly what she was doing as a “groupie” He didn’t force her parents to sign papers or force her to go with him. You don’t need someone’s permission to write about your own life story. She could have said NO to the abortion. It probably wasn’t even his. She was a GROUPIE! They F***ed everyone they could. Nobody was twisting their arm or holding a gun to their head. Unless you were in the room you have no idea what was really said between them about having a baby. Tyler did a lot of bad things and made mistakes, but he is not a monster. Her suing him after all the time that had passed was just about the money nothing else. He has opened several houses for abused girls. He told what happened before she did. She just got embarrassed for people to know what she did. Many women have falsely cried rape and sent men to prison because they felt ashamed of what they did after the fact. The fact remains she said yes to everything!
@@crookshanks5444 : She wasn't a typical groupie. If one is writing an autobiography about their lives, they should be getting permission from the people they are going to name. Especially because he totally whitewashed his drug usage to protect his then young children w/ whatever # wife. My friend wrote a book and published it himself for fear of naming names and being sued.
~
He NEVER told the story of the attempted murder. She wanted to keep the baby. I don't even understand, at 65, the logistics of a full-term abortion when the baby is way beyond viable. That was forced on her by the doctor that he brought in.
~
I believe her.
~
However, I do agree w/ you that there are a lot of women who have falsely cried rape because of day after regret and ruined men's lives.
~
I don't believe ALL women. Her story is far too credible and in the drugged out state he was in, his is not.
You forgot Sharona
Just to say you slept with a famous rock star...🤣🤣🤣
Has nothing to do with that. Similar interests attract each other. Groupies and rockers are simply part of the same social circle. And you know rock stars brag about sleeping with groupies yet society applauds them while looking down on their bedmates, the groupies. That's just you buying into a sheeple mentality.
Yes.. bragging rights.. to them anyway.
what about patty b and miss o dell...miss o dell has a book..jim gordon tried to kill her...affair with dylan etc.
Sorry but I knew what I was doing at 13 and made choice NOT to do anything I didn’t want to. Where and when I grew up, you were expected and made to understand consequences.
We’ve really infantilized teenagers so much they seem paralyzed in the infantile stage.
Whole Lotta Rosie was probably about Rosie O'Donnell
Bad....
Yet people get mad at Taylor Swift for writing about her relationships.
The intent is different. The boys did it to brag about their conquests. Taylor did it as a scorned ex…l😂😂😂
@@jblassio lol you sound like one of those incels who watches Patriot Twins and Dailywire 🤣🤣
@@mytruecrimelibrary I’m married and have a daughter so this shows your aptitude! You’re probably a SIMP with an ugly girlfriend who barely treats you like a human being. Keep SIMPING for Taylor you can just cry while you … ✊🐓
@@mytruecrimelibrary boo hoo, keep crying. The ladies need the SIMPs of the world!
@@mytruecrimelibraryYou sound like one of those weird Swifties who are too delicate to handle a criticism of a guitar playing can of beige paint.
Does calling a celebrity pedophile ring 'baby groupies' lessen the awfulness of these people?
Jimmy Page and David Bowie, among others, should have went to prison.
Don't forget Mackenzie Phillips saying Jagger had his way with her as a teen. That was disclosed almost 20 years ago.
@@vcv6560 John Phillips should’ve been imprisoned for incest & failure to provide safe environment for Mackenzie from pedophiles like Jagger.
Simmons too small I'm pants
Can't believe you forgot Hot Dog the song Robert Plant wrote about Audrey Hamilton
Hate to say it but why are some of these stars not cancelled after this news broke?
Because they didn't have cancel culture back then 🤷🏻♀️ I know people are cancelling them now.
It was rock & roll, a different time, while not exactly condoned, everyone turned a blind eye to it. It still happens today, not only with bands, but with famous actors, sports stars, and celebrities. The question should be - Why do people put celebrities on a pedestal and think they are such great humans? They may be super talented at what they do, but they have the same human weaknesses as everyone else. Even as teen decades ago, I at a least had enough sense to admire the talent, not the person. Are not some of Kevin's Spacey's roles brilliantly performed, despite appearing that he is a rotten guy? Is Jimmy Page's incredible output of great songs and catalog of clever and iconic riffs any less better since he could be considered a child molester?
cant change the past,
A bit surprised no mention of the Runaways and the claims made by Jackie Fox about 'misconduct' by manager Kim Foley. Listen to the lyrics of Animal Man, not that it alone means its true.
They were not groupies.
Yoko Ono wasn't a groupie
She was until she bagged a Beatle.
I'm not even attempting to justify the VERY young ones but remember, most Western Countries the age of consent is either 16 or 15. NOT 18 like the USA. So at least judge them from that marker.
Rock music was nearly all by men.
So many of lyrics are juvenile and vulgar.
On one hand, I grew up focusing on the music, often ignoring the lyrics. The singers were just another instrument playing a melody.
On the other hand, what a load of egotistical, warped rubbish to be singing along to.
Where were other voices?
*Was expecting to see the NIN song 'Starfuckers Incorporated' here. That song was supposedly about Courtney Love*
People condemn the actions of when this was happening which I find rather funny. It wasn’t out of the ordinary. 60’s, 70’s 80’s people didn’t look at age the same way they do now. This still happens it’s just not out in our faces as much. Tyga with Kendal Jenner when she was a minor is just one example.
These where chick's that just had fun with really cool people....un like Chick's now days...its all about money an when they don't get it they try to end you and your career...look at john deep setation... great video 👍👍👍👍
Good observation. Women would want to get with men who contributed to society and had amassed wealth and fame. Now many modern women will go THROUGH these men to get to that wealth for themselves.
The Stones had THE tribute to groupies. Star F___er
Cynthia Albritton was odd. 😂
Have any of these women received residuals, bet not.
These women haven't aged well.
Drugs and alcohol will do that to a person
They partied hard!!!
It’s amazing they aged at all
@@beccam9266 : Some of them didn't.
HAY WHO WANTS TO BE A PLASTER CASTER 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where were the parents of these young girls. WOW. These young girls didn’t know what they were getting into until it was too late.
a groupie is a one night stand, when she hangs around for months with the musician she is a girlfriend, isn't she?
Wait she killed Belushi but she couldn't have wiped out Lightfoot before her wrote that stupid song about the friggin Edmond Fitzgerald (may all those sailors rest in peace). Just Damn.
😂😂
Portraying the bads as bad guys and girls as victims is not correct factually or morally
Rock n roll is a poor excuse for women abuse ! Stop that’s bs
