The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and ’70s is back in print in this new edition that includes an afterword on the author’s last fifteen years of adventures. As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars’ backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next ten years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO’s, a girl group masterminded by Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. Warm, witty, and sexy, this kiss-and-tell–all stands out as the perfect chronicle of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most thrilling eras.
Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies

Since rock’s beginnings, there have been groupies. These chosen few women who bed, but not often wed, the musicians of their dreams are almost as much a part of music history as the musicians themselves. Pamela Des Barres, the world’s foremost supergroupie, here offers an all-access backstage pass to the world of rock stars and the women who love them. Having had her own affairs with everyone from Keith Moon to Jimmy Page—as documented in her bestselling memoir
I’m with the Band
—Pamela now turns the spotlight onto other women who have found their way into the hearts and bedrooms of some of the world’s greatest musicians. In
Let’s Spend the Night Together
, she tells, in their own words, the stories of these amazing women who went way beyond the one-night stand.
Here you’ll get to know twenty-four outrageous groupies, including Tura Satana, Miss Japan Beautiful, who taught Elvis how to dance and gave him lessons in lovemaking; Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, who tangled with Tom Jones in Sin City; Soulful Miss Mercy, who discovered that not only does the rest of the world listen to Al Green while making love—so does Al Green; Cynthia Plaster Caster, who redefined art and made history when Jimi Hendrix plunged his member into her plaster mold; and the mysterious Miss B., who reveals Kurt Cobain’s penchant for lip gloss and pantyhose.
