CHRIS ODELL WASNT FAMOUS. SHE WASNT 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 Ringos kitchen table when George Harrison said, "You know, Ringo, Im in love with your wife." And Ringo replied, "Better you than someone we dont know." She typed the lyrics to George Harrisons 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. Shes the subject of Leon Russells "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. Shes "the woman down the hall" in Joni Mitchells song "Coyote" about a love triangle on Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Shes the "mystery woman" pictured on the back of the Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street. Shes the "Miss ODell" of George Harrisons song about her. Miss ODell is the remarkable story of an ordinary woman who lived the dream of millions -- to be part of rock royaltys trusted inner circle. Illustrated with private photographs and jam-packed with intimate anecdotes, Miss ODell is a backstage pass to some of the most momentous events in rock history.
