Non-Fiction Memoir
CHRIS O'DELL WASN'T FAMOUS. SHE
WASN'T EVEN ALMOST FAMOUS. BUT SHE WAS
THERE. She was in the studio when the Beatles
recorded The White Album, Abbey Road, and
Let It Be, and when Paul recorded "Hey Jude," she
sang in the chorus. She was at Ringo's kitchen table when
George Harrison said, "You know, Ringo, I'm in love with
your wife." And Ringo replied, "Better you than someone we
don't know." She typed the lyrics to George Harrison's
All Things Must Pass. She lived with George and
Pattie Boyd at Friar Park, developed a crush on Eric
Clapton, and unwittingly got involved in the famous love
story between Eric and Pattie. She's the subject of Leon
Russell's "Pisces Apple Lady," a song he wrote to woo her.
Other rock legends with whom she was intimate include Ringo,
Mick Jagger, and Bob Dylan. She worked with the Rolling
Stones as their personal assistant on their infamous 1972
tour and did a drug run for Keith Richards. She's "the
woman down the hall" in Joni Mitchell's song "Coyote" about
a love triangle on Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour.
She's the "mystery woman" pictured on the back of the
Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street. She's the
"Miss O'Dell" of George Harrison's song about her. Miss
O'Dell is the remarkable story of an ordinary woman who
lived the dream of millions -- to be part of rock royalty's
trusted inner circle. Illustrated with private photographs
and jam-packed with intimate anecdotes, Miss O'Dell
is a backstage pass to some of the most momentous events in
rock history.
