Figures from Rock Music history no 369 | PAMELA DES BARRES

Pamela Des Barres


Pamela Des Barres finally put the unbelievable true story of her life down on paper in 1987, and the rest is rock ’n’ roll history. Her bestselling first book was followed by a series of nonfiction page-turners, including Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up, Let’s Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies, and Let It Bleed: How to Write a Rockin’ Memoir. 

Today, Pamela Des Barres is respected as an author, journalist, creative writing instructor, podcaster, and rock historian, and is perhaps the most famous standard-bearer of a term she wears proudly: Groupie.
