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 legends such
as Keith Moon and 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 24 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 - The mysterious
Miss B, who reveals Kurt Cobain's penchant for lip gloss and

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 15
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 10
years she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon,
Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison,
among others. She travelled 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 Frank
Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance
in the history of modern popular music.
