- Daring, debaucherous, and a party behind every stage. Rock 'n' roll wouldn’t be what it was without the women who hung with the bands, but even some of the best-known groupies faded away with little to no acknowledgement.

Hey grunge the website what about male groupies
Why musicians get them so much why the oldies didn’t before the 60s
I'm curious as to why anyone would expect a groupie to die with much fanfare.
😂👍
Exactly.
As Dave Chapelle once pointed out, American males are among the most famous people in the world. (Muhammad Ali, for example). In the 90s, a young woman performed oral sex on the President of the United States, and it made her famous.
IKR? Who gives a fuck?
Kinda pathetic actually.
“I was determined to become a famous groupie” said no one of sound mind.
@randall-flagg🤣🤣🤣 the opposite of a "conformist" isn't being a slutGroupie lol.
You think that makes someone " progressive ' because they have no self respect?? Not at all.
Exactly. You can just look at her and see she's not wrapped too tight!!
@@meghanmisaliar that's not all that's not too tight.
Depends on how Old u R
True
But it depends on the age of the girl
But Y aren't u bringing up
Girls that hunted the Beatles
Or any other group
Y aren't u shaming girls
That ran after Elvis?
Or do u pick the Rock God's
And their Groupies 2 be better
Than Or worse Than
2 fit your own Narrative!
It was almost 50 yrs ago
It was a different time
What about girls that put out
2 sports stars or high school jocks
But then
Shame these girls?!
When I was 19, I used to work for a recording studio group, which owned several recording studios. I got to know several sound and electrical engineers that had been on tour with several famous bands, and they knew every tour manager and concert promoter from the 1960s thru the 1990s. And the stories they would tell about groupies on tour were straight out of the Letters from Penthouse.
For the most part, the women called the shots in their lives too.
The summer before I turned 30, I decided to meet the bands that I wanted to who played a venue in the town next to mine. I looked right, don't let the cartoon avatar of a 50 yo fool you. At 29, I had blonde hair down my back, blue eyes and a Swedish face. I never once had to debase myself to hang out with either the bands or the roadies. Granted, I always brought pot for the boys. Most were family men earning a living, the ones who could tell the stories from Penthouse were always easy to spot which meant they were easy to avoid. I met some groupies along the way. Interesting girls.
@@tenofivelips You were one of the many women who would simply hang out with bands. So, you would have been classified as a "Party Girl". That's not a derogatory term. It just means that you brought them pot. And a lot of these guys liked hanging out with regular people.
@@micheledonahoe8092 Nope. Most if not all died young. Just a bunch of sickos.
its natural it only went about sex and drugs
Call me crazy, but I don't feel like a groupie has done a single thing to earn ANY fanfare.
If getting sodomized to avoid paternity and kick out the hotels once their idols , their crews, security, drivers have all emptied their sacks deserves fanfares… then they do !!!
Their claim to fame is having sex with famous men. Ridiculous to think they would be missed. Like damn the woman who banged Kiss, Hendricks, and Ketih Richards died?! What a shame!
You're crazy.
Having sex with keith moon doesn't impress you much?
They kept the rockin' world go round.
This video is literally about old women bragging about their body count for clout and the musicians who had sex with them when they were still minors...
Star Stowe was an especially sad case. She dated Kiss (the whole band supposedly) and modeled in Playboy. When that notoriety dried up she went into stripping and sex work. She was found murdered. It’s a sad, sad story.
I saw the Deadbug documentary on her a while back. Yeah, really sad story.
Not surprising with the lifestyle these sickos lived.
@@harrodsfan don’t judge lest ye be judged.
How old was she?
@@catmomof2261Well said.
I think there should be a holiday dedicated to groupies who have died...said nobody ever!
same could probably be said for yourself.
I never understood, and still don't, being a bicycle for rock groups or any population really. I guess it makes them feel special, which is super sad.
My best friend in the world was in the music biz. As an agent, manager, and promoter. He managed the band Bad Finger for a number of years. For many young girls, it's a cool adrenaline rush to be with young, famous musicians. It morphs into a bad habit that they can't stop. Then, like almost all "sex workers" ( can groupies be considered sex workers since that's all they do), there comes the sad day when they're told "you're too old now, get outta here!
Agreed, all a bunch of 304s , famous only because of who all were smashing them
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT yep. Sometimes, less is more ✌️
It was an electrifying time, both in life, and music. I can see people getting caught up in it. There will Never be a time like the 60's and 70's and some 80's.
My guess is a buttload of daddy issues there
Why would people outside of their families track when they passed away? Sleeping with a lot of rock stars shouldn’t make a person famous. May they Rest In Peace.
Gossip and solicitous info sales. What's decency to these dirt sheets
so people like you who clicked this video would know.😜
That is debatable...I mean, they shared very intimate sexual encounters with Rock stars, who were being fantasized about by thousands of women...I guess that alone would make a groupie be seen as an accomplished person...just a matter of perspective.
That’s what I was thinking. I certainly don’t want to devalue them as human beings but for the most part, no one has a clue who these people are. Even the more “well known,” ones. So how or why would there be “fanfare?”
Yet here you are watching with all of us
This video reminds me of that time when I was a famous groupie, and then eventually just faded away with little to no acknowledgment.
Glad you are doing good. Stay safe.
I thought this was well made , but I would not call Tura Satana a groupie just because she dated Elvis. She wasn't one to stand in any man's shadow. Cynthia Plastercaster was very much loved in her hometown of Chicago , and a big concert was staged in her memory. At least at home , she went out with much fanfare.
I wouldn't really describe Tawny Kitaen as a groupie. She just happened to have several lasting relationships with men who were also rock stars. It was the industry she was connected to for a while.
video vixen
I met Tawny in 2017. She was the sweetest person. It made me sad to hear of her passing.
She wasn't as gorgeous as you are for sure.
@@paxchristi2014 thanks
@@paxchristi2014 Thank you ☺️
She was a horrible and physically abused one of her husbands. As shallow as they come.
@@bartmix8994 I’m not saying she was a perfect human. She had substance abuse issues that plagued her for years and I’m sure that played a huge part in the destruction of her marriage. I’m simply saying that the woman I met was very very sweet.
All these bands can be charged as pedophiles because so many of these girls were under age. These dirty grown men took advantage of young women's infatuation with them. Think your dad or brother could get away with this kind of behavior?! These rock band guys are scum bags.
Thank you
Tura Satana was an actress; her relationship with Elvis doesn't make her a groupie. RIP.
A lot of these gals weren't just c*mdumpsters for the rock stars; many of them were a "home away from home" for bands on the road who were fighting to not burn out. Some of them were muses, inspiring rock anthems that will live long past their own lives. As we can see, most of them appear to have died lonely, far away from the glitz and glitter of their younger years.
I guess all I am saying, (having been a touring musician myself for some years) is that, for a lot of guys, these so called 'groupies' played their part in the scene that wasn't always very kind to them. The film "Almost Famous" paints a fairly realistic picture of the life a lot of these gals led.
you sound like a Expert.?
@@markvanderstelt8999 has been drip under pressure. You may be right.
@PaisleyPatchouli............true dat. That movie is a sugarcoated version of the groupie life. Some musicians were pretty terrible to women in their circle. Unfortunately a person becoming that "untouchable" can lead to a lot of problematic ego based misbehavior.
Thus Rock and Roll is dead forever. And history has only begun to erase it's memory.
lol you are just saying 'it's ok they were c*mdumpsters because they provided a "road service"... to men whom were mostly married and had families! All of it was disgusting. No one cares these trash bags are gone. Not even the men who used them up.
So what fanfare do these women deserve
None
RIP Sweet Connie. You were fun to be around and a good person. Thanks for my 15 mins.
You may wanna rephrase that. It sounds like you "lasted" for only 15 minutes.
@@midasapprentice8670 IDK how long it was but it wasn't very long. There were people around laughing BC she kept telling me to spank her and every time I did the people in the other room would burst out laughing. We were all super buzzed at the time. Connie was cool tho and that's what I want ppl to know about her.
@@brasco96wired67 Wow!!! I thought when you posted 15 minutes I thought you meant your 15 minutes of fame or sexual prowess. I had noi idea you were in such an ordeal. I glad you still have enough love for her to want ppl to know how cool she was.
@@midasapprentice8670It wasn't an ordeal, just a bunch of very drunk ppl parting and having what we thought was a good time back in the day. I didn't know her well but, she was a regular in a bar that my friend owned and I would talk to her from time to time. She was just a straight up person that didn't pretend to be something that she wasn't. She didn't age well but I thought she was really pretty back in the day. She had a lot of great stories to tell.
The Prepare for Misuse Ad running before this presentation was the first youtube ad I watched all the way through
Some people go through their whole life wondering if they've ever done anything special to help the world be a safer place. Marines don't have that problem.
So the Marines have sex with rock stars? That would explain things.
Didn't see that coming!
every type of celebrity has groupies
2/3's of Rush...most of KISS. I love it. Love was really in the air in the 70's, along with gallons of spunk by all accounts.
Yeah, not Neil . RIP
KISS took Rush on their first US tour. So, it may have all been in the same night....
That wasn't love. It was pheromones.
Gallons of what?
Always interesting
Thank you
Peace
So many (too many) of them were underage when they started. And those are just the ones being talked about here.
What’s sad is everyone bashes these groupie women for sleeping with whomever they want, but nobody thinks the rock stars are disgusting for bedding down hopeful, young girls in every town they stop in. Connie seemed like a nice, sweet person. She lived her life as she wanted.
The video wasn't about the bands who hung out with groupies. It was about the groupies. Therefore, I commented on the video. Not sure y anyone doesn't see that
A crazy and great time for all of us that were there. Endings? Some sad, Some glorious.
May we all RIP when "it" comes. 🥂🎶☮
You forgot number one, PENNY LANE!!!!!
9:40 "If you or anyone you know needs help with addiction..." here's a triggering clip of someone doing rails of cocaine.
BS. I'm in recovery and it would take more than that to trigger me. That's just an excuse for addicts to get back on the TRAIN.
Lol, I know, right? Lol.
Any dumbass that will go do a mountain of blow again because they saw a picture on TH-cam has ZERO discipline and are beyond help. Nice attempt at trying to shame the content creators, tho.
So so sad many didn’t live to be truly old.
Although quite a few made it to their 70s, which is getting up there.
Poor Nancy died at just 20.
Living to be "truly old" might work out well for a few people, but for most, it's to be avoided.
I'm glad all these women had their day in the sun with whatever musicians they bedded. Good for them! I was a minor groupie in the 70's and had my liaisons with a member of the Kinks, Bad Company, etc. It was SUCH fun!!
Disgusting. Is your health in the toilet from all the drugs & STDs? Imagine being proud of being a c*mdumpster for men who could not care less about you.
I saw Cathy Smith one day when I was day drinking in Gastown at the Lamplighter Pub. Took me a minute to place her, but her face was all over the news when Belushi died, so it didn’t take long. What I remember most is that she had a massive head of hair. Didn’t realize she was a groupie.
May they all rest in peace. But millions die every day and receive no fanfare at all.
A sad reality to just accept is that millions of groupies just aren't good at blow jobs, look it's a very competitive sport among women only the creme de la creme can breach the top tiers. 🤷
Tawny Kitian was not really a groupie,in my opinion,she married and had long term relationships with two or the rockers,and had a great acting career of her own.
Remember her on Seinfeld.
She is a misandrist, too. Clocked her MLB pitcher husband, Chuck Finley, quite a few times. He never returned her abuse, because he was much taller and more muscular than she, and he knew he could hurt her and HE would be found liable. Instead, he filed police reports of spousal abuse. The wonderful media & public were AWFUL to him - ridiculed him and threw high heeled shoes when he pitched. We need to take domestic abuse charges against men seriously, without diluting women’s claims of the same treatment. Both genders need to be treated respectfully if they make such claims.
Agree
You missed the part where she had an affair w/OJ while his wife Nicole was pregnant w/their child. How desperate can a person be?
Great acting career??
It's not our place to judge anyone. May they all now rest in eternal
peace.💕
Sound like some fun girls to know, all power to them.
Plaster Caster! I saw some of her umm work in a doco. I think Mr. J. Hendrix is the star of that show.
I remember her, I would have liked to see the Documentary.
@@micheledonahoe8092 The name of the doco is 'Plaster Caster' made in 2001. tubi is streaming it for free. Enjoy friend. 😊
Moonie and Tyler didn't 'measure up" to ole jimi@@micheledonahoe8092
Hendrix was her first, and likely the best, of her "casts". There used to be, in the early 1970s, a publication called "The Whole Earth Catalog"....A person could order a copy of the Hendrix cast!...Being a Hendrix fan I wanted to order one, but my wife was grossed out by the idea. I wish I had ordered it, I am guessing that item would be worth a lot on today's collector market!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I remember that magazine.

Fanfare for a groupies?
😂
🤦🏽♂️ _When ya' need content badly..._ 🙃 Next: *The Roadies That The Grammys Failed To Nominate❓️* 🤷🏽♂️
Exactly what I was thinking!
Conny Hamzy may have had access to the stars but in the end they got the better of the deal. Yet, as I think about it, maybe she did exactly what she wanted to do so perhaps in the final analysis she lead the life she wished to lead. Whatever the case may she Rest In Peace.
ConnIe was a good person and fun to be around. She lived her life exacted how she wanted and never pretended to be anything other than what she was. She's been dead several years and here we are talking about her. I doubt anyone will be talking about me on TH-cam after I'm gone.
She seemed a little slow in the head.@@brasco96wired67
I had seen Connie in an interview with another groupie. Despite bring older, she still carried on the lifestyle only with older bands who were not as popular as they once were. Saw her in Let's Spend the Night Together documentary. I did not hear about her death.
@@brasco96wired67 She was famous for giving strangers blow jobs. The guys (famous or not) would line up to shoot their loads in her mouth. That's quite a thing to be known for.
Connie was just a sweet simple girl. She might have been better off moving away from her home town. People are judgemental, unfortunately....@@jfryza

Funny how men give women crap for being shallow because they focus on their looks so much, and this is a perfect example of why women tend to be so insecure they'll risk death during surgery to look unlike reality.
I went to high school with a gal who became an absolute rock groupie. Got to know alot of bands. I believe this gives these girls power in an otherwise powerless existence in ordinary life. Thats it. No other reason why except quick enjoyment.
Many people had power thinking they knew inside information about these acts...and they did (have power concerning it).
Agree.
Addiction abuse?
I had contact with a number of willing female partners during my years as a touring musician with some top rock acts. I have been contacted on social media by some of them many years later. When I asked if I had made any of them uncomfortable, they replied...basically..."Are you kidding me? Who approached who?" I have settled into a monogamous 28-year marriage with an amazing woman who once said, "Well, at least you don't any unfulfilled sexual fantasies." (I married above my station.) My eternal gratitude to all those beautiful women who found me worthy of their attention before the wrinkles took over.
Lovely comment
another whoremonger heading straight to hell ~ time will only tell.
tick tock ...tick tock ...
Rest in peace, but how would most casual people be expected to know the names of most groupies? That probably explains the little fanfare.
exactly, and it was mean to include it in the title.
The older I get the more I realize that Rock and Roll is not good for ya
What fanfare do you think they deserve?
They don't deserve praise for being sluts
frank sinatra,,,,, the lady is a tramp
The group you call the Charlatans in the photo was actually a group from Lawrence KS known as the Blue Things. They were Val Stoeklin, Bobby Day, Richard Scott, and Mike Chapman. They had a local semi-hit called "Dolls House" in about 1966. They appeared frequently in the Tulsa OK area. They had several groupies, but none were famous. Hi Jacquie, Peralyn, Sherry, Mary Beth, and Jeannie.
Agreed! I was going to say, that didn’t look like The Charlatans! Thank you
were you one of the members ?
@@roccidisopa661 yeah, The Charlatans are a 90’s British band who are still together.
They died without much fan fare because they weren't that famous!
RIP to you all 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻
Sad case of a bad story
I realize that this was a different time. And I did live through that time. But now all I can think of when I see this is all the STD's going round and round.
A Groupie, now that's something to brag about...
You don't understand the time period. Music and the bands were just about everything back then. Music was alive, and everything was happening all at once. Drugs had a lot to do with it. I never knew of a groupie, but giving the things going on back then, I can understand the appeal. You had to have lived back then to understand.
Yeah , THESE girls never got " rewarded " with a role in a movie , or on television ! Let's take a look at the world of professional sports next , and then , on to politics !!!

@@micheledonahoe8092 I absolutely agree and concur...it's scary how young people don't know and understand the way things were just a little before they came along...
@@alexkx8599 true. My Granddaughter is understanding the scenario now herself.
As someone that used to go to a lot of rock concerts back in the day, I was never aware...or cared...who the groupies were that traveled with the bands. I was just interested in seeing the band perform.
Famous groupie is hilarious
Sable Starr never actually met David Bowie. She claimed she did, but the timing of the tour she claims to have been with Bowie clashed with her own claim of being with Jimmy Page. Witnesses and photographic evidence, confirm she was with Page at the time.
Maybe so. Or maybe there was so much of it, and so much drink and drugs going on, and so many years since, that she remembers the timing wrong.
@@chryssoraidy9838 it's not just her memory, it's also that the tour dates for both Bowie and Led Zeppelin are very well know, so the whole think couldn't have happened because she was actually with Page, in some very dodgy situation where apparently Page had some kind of body guard making sure she wouldn't leave. When the whole situation was resolved, Bowie was already back in the UK.
Interesting!!!
My sister in law ran away with Prince , Morris Day and the time . She's a handful.
MOST groupies die without fanfare.
Ronnie Van Zant from Skynyrd wrote a tribute to his groupies on their last studio album. The song is aptly titled "What's Your Name.? It doest matter how many times a rock star had sex with the same groupie, they couldn't tell ya her name if their life depended on it. That being the case, is there really such a thing as "famous groupies"?
Plant asks one of em if they know his name in the song Sick again.
Well said.
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l Ohhh, yeah. I remember that line now!
True. Pamela DB is famous for her books, not directly for who she slept with. Her books are written in a lively and fun style, if a bit exaggerated. I've read other groupie books (e.g. Morgana Welsh) that were so boringly written that they put me to sleep.
@@Lola-AreaCode212 she never exaggerated. She is a passionate person and expresses it. Pamela is a beautiful soul. And as you know, she wasn't just there to get laid. She was a muse and feels a deep spiritual connection to the art of music and the gifted people who make it and affect us in a way nothing else does - something i totally appreciate. She wasn't like the Butter Queen or Miss Connie, but she respected their attraction and tenacity.
Groupies aren’t famous so why would we have heard when they passed away?
And most of them had lives after their 20s when they were groupies. How many of us are remembered for what we did in our 20s. When you die at 50, 60 or 70 something, your 20s are just history.
Missing from the list is Pamela De Barres. She wrote 'Im with the band', and was known as one of the original groupies, notably jimmy Page and several other rock legends.
Is she still alive?
She's not dead 😂
Wasn't aware groupies died "with" much fanfare?
Man I watched this till the end and got a bad itch and a sore started on my lip
😂👏👏
Why would there be public fanfare? Tragic lives and tragic for their families. The end.
They never felt their lives were tragic. They did what they wanted to, and most of them died of natural causes. There wasn't fanfare because they weren't interested in being famous to EVERYONE - just to the folks whose lives they lit up.
So fanfare was a ridiculous word to use.
Do you know their families?
Bebe Buell ?!?
star was a head banger ! that's what got her ! head and head on !
It's not only woman that want to be groupies, men do to! I remember seeing a show about the Go Go's and they talked about the male groupies who around them that would do all kinds of degrading things for the girls if they asked them to.
That's not the norm though.
They were all hos
It’s ok for men to be hoes but god forbid a woman get her rocks off
@randall-flagg i remember that line! lol. But they weren't pushing cars. ;)
@@meghanmisaliar it's more normal than you'd think. But guys keep it under their hats. I know these women, and they're still out there getting it, even at this age.
The amount of pdf files in music is staggering
I went to so many concerts from the time I was 13 years old through until I got married when it’s 30 I never attempted to go backstage. I never attempted to meet Rockstars.
The concert promoter in the manager of you to go out into the crowd and look for talent
That be hot chicks
They were approached me and asked me do you wanna come back say do you want to go to the Press party at the hotel? Do you want to go in the limousine with the guys?
I had much more class in integrity I always said no
I’m the kind of girl they really wanted the kind of girl they wanted to marry and take home
I was never a groupie
I had numerous chances to be one. Oh hell no 🥱
STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE 😊 LOVE 💝
It's alarming how many of these women 'dated' famous rockstars at the age of 15 or 16.
Yep. I worked at a famous rehab facility in the Coachella Valley. All these rock and movie stars can afford treatments. On the contrary their groupies never made enough money to afford rehab. As you saw they end up looking much older then their age.
They never belong to the close circle of their idols … who basically treat them as free prostitutes. Don’t even think they even invite them to spend the night in their hotels: once they had a release they kick them out of the room. These groupies sometimes spend the whole day waiting outside of the hotels rain or shine skipping meals so they would not miss their idols. And once the stars are done, security kick them out so their idols can get a shower before heading to a fancy restaurant.
One golden rule in the show biz : always use the “back door “ to avoid any paternity law suit.
What Sewer treatment facility did you work At ?
Any woman that spends her youth being a whore will ultimately "show her age"... financial stability isn't remotely a factor. The bill always comes due. There seems to be exceptions in the case of celebrity... but there isn't really... it's just more extreme.
People like Madonna are a fine example. The best foods... cosmetics and medical treatments can kick the can for a bit... but there is an immediate jump to the other end of the spectrum when that stops working out.
There is a spiritual component to whoring that folks will always ignore... takes it's toll
Damn, everyone being harsh. Judge not yest ye be judged 🙂
@@anniehopkins8470 there is also a spiritual aspect to calling someone a whore. Your point would be better taken because I don’t completely disagree with it if you were less judgmental in your use of language. Do you speak that same way about men who like to have sex with different women?
People who sleep around are whores, both women and men. The men are disgusting as well.
I've never heard of any of these women, but know every band. Is there a registry for groupies?
Connie had a lot of songs written about her. She started when she was like 14 or 15 yo. Really kinda sad.
Oh, but she achieved her life goal. Not much of one, but hey, what opportunities did girls in the crappy, slum-like state of Arkansas have? No wonder Bill Clinton did not return after his presidency ended.
In those days, that was not particularly young - there was a sexual revolution still going on. What's sad to me is what kids that age and younger are doing now that we wouldn't have done then. They're just better at not being overt about it.
David Cassidy final words: "So much wasted time." Groupies and artists pursuing fleshly desires wasted their lives. Back to dust they go.
Your comment does not make sense.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Some are called to be saints. To become sons of God and serve God, others and the living creation forever. A several decade orgy party is not building the proper character needed to care for others. It just makes you more selfish, not giving.

@@davedavid427 exactly
He was talking about chasing fame and his incredibly difficult and damaging addiction, which eventually killed him. He loved the groupies. He never thought he would turn out to be a terrible addict.
My dad just wanted a few beers with the boys, and suffered the same regret and fate. My brothers and i were lucky enough to never have trouble pacing our use of substances. Really grateful for that. I wish David had been so lucky. He was an idol to girls my age, and wasn't a pig with them.
Jeez they were all rough looking lol
5:30 the song Plaster Caster is about her.
These women (some of whom were just girls at the time) are very sad..........pitiful in many ways.
Outside of Connie, who was more of a Little Rock fixture than just a groupie (she was a also a school teacher with a whole life outside of going to shows and meeting bands), most of these women had careers that either put them in proximity with musicians or long term relationships with musicians. Sable for example was a teen model and regularly featured in Creem magazine up to at least 1980. Sable was also a sort of representative for Rodney Bingenheimer and Star magazine and she and her older sister Corel (Iggy Pop's girlfriend post stooges), or other girls from Star would greet bands upon arrival in LA and get them to come to parties to be photographed for promotion (which is how she met Johnny Thunders). Tawney Kitaen really doesnt fit as a groupie either, she was a model and had actually dated Robyn Crosby since highschool, so she never really went out of her way to just sleep with famous people let alone musicians.. Tura Satana was a pretty well known touring burlesque performer in the late 1950s prior to her acting career, so she was constantly crossing paths with musicians who either played in the house bands at her shows or came to see her perform (which is how she met Elvis, who seems to be the only "rockstar" ever associated with her). And of course the GTOs were just a group of friends who were into the same things, who went to shows and befriended bands. They eventually became their own group and were more performance artists within the scene. They took on the title of groupies because it was shocking and garnered a lot of attention especially in the wake of Beatlemania and during the height of the free love/hippie movement; but they each had their own artistic talents and interests and weren't sleeping around with just anyone famous for the sake of it, they had genuine lasting friendships and relationships with the rockstars they were associated with. Its also important to note that a majority of the lore surrounding so called groupies in the late 60s-early 70s has been heavily shaped by Pamela Des Barres' memoir which was written in the 80s during the peak or the sleaze era. She sold millions of copies by framing the narrative around these women/girls on the fringes of music/art scenes as being "groupies" and telling "juicy" stories that may or in some cases may not be true (for example Pamela has regularly platformed Lori Maddox whose stories about her time as a "baby groupie" have been repeatedly debunked).
So, most of these women listed aren't actually typical "groupies" as today's understanding of the word would suggest. They were all active members of their respective scenes, they were not just showing up to have sex with anyone famous (except Connie, lol).
Sable had a child with Blondie drummer, Clem Burke, I wonder what ever happened to that kid who would be in their 40's now.
Seems like you could write a book about this topic. I would buy!!
only if said book contains in action pics.@@tiffanim547
Thanks for the update that was very informative 👍
Thank you for clarifying.... Respect.. ✊
where were these girls’ parents?
The one groupie I knew growing up in the ‘70’s, her mom had died when she was 4. Her father was a Mormon Pedophile…
Sometimes a groupie gets lucky. Ask Mrs. Springsteen LOL
I was born in 75 and I was a budding adolescent when bachelor party came out. I fell in LUST with Tawney. I would obsessively watch bachelor party just to see her. Then I found whitesnake and she was in the videos. Omg I use to watch the "is this love" video OVER AND OVER I was obsessed with her. She was beautiful. Great legs. It's sad what she turned into with the plastic surgery.
Miss Christine!
I wonder how many of these women suffered from Bipolar mental illness or sexual abuse when younger….overall a sad collection of stories
Probably none. Nice try trying to rationalize it though lol
Their back stories are very different,but someone like Connie Hamzy said many times that she was doing exactly what she wanted…Being from a little town in Arkansas,that was ,no doubt,the most exciting thing she was exposed to probably…..then,when she got (in)famous,I doubt she could find any suitors to take her seriously….she seemed like a really sweet but misguided,lady…I didn’t get the impression that she was one of those hardened ,calculating types that was trying to trap one of the musicians….who knows though…?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will more likely erect a Tomb of the Unknown Groupie before The Guess Who will ever be inducted. Sad, but true.
Imagine being remembered for how many rock stars you beded and nothing else. Yikes!
“Famous groupies” What a silly way to describe obsessive people.
R I p to all
LOL why should they have fanfare? They slept around, hardly a reason to be lauded.🤷♀️ We all probably know several people who do that! BFD. Not a reason to be ADMIRED, or even care about them, imo. But I believe everybody should RIP, and hey, it was their life.
RIP girls 😊
Some of these IDOLS Don't.@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT How do you know that?, you didn't know them
So sad how we shine bright for a short time then fade to black
Makes my skin crawl.

The days when child abuse was ok a perk even and yet no rock star has been brought to account to my knowledge
protected by the most high in the Pyramid.
Judging yesterday's society by today's 'morals' is not a good look.
@@machupikachu1085 so it was ok for Jimmy and Rolfe
@@ppmppm7010 it would appear so. I mean, the parties involved have had 50 years to do something about it...
Tawny Kitaen died??! I did not know well damn
These girls where 15-16 years old with these grown men!
they had to bust a nut
Some 14 or 13 😮
Interesting. I remember some of them from past news stories. Never thought of Kitaen as a groupie but no judgement. Women following powerful men is certainly not restricted to the music industry but it was good of you to do a video on these women that people look down on. I was young when they were happening and I thought they were cool and loving life. I may be wrong about that but I hope they all died with little regret.
I agree, Kitaen was not a groupie.
I'm surprised Cyrinda Fox was not included.
WHO????????
Wasn't she married to Steven Tyler and the Mother of one of his daughters...not Liv, maybe Mia...am I mixing her up with someone else?
@@lorileeann7623 You are correct, Mia's mom. She also influenced Bowie fashion wise. Cyrinda died at a relatively young age, early 50s.
This Video is as interesting as their lives.
