5 of the boldest groupies from the 60s and 70s

Oh the (60s and) 70s! When the biggest "Rock 'n' roll" groups lived crazy lives and really knew the (only) real "groupies" or female fans who brought musicians to their knees.

Basically it is real ones ''groupies'' was only five, because today's fans cannot be compared with the rocker lifestyle of those who grew up in the crazy 60s and 70s.

The first and probably at the top of the list is famous Baby Buell, who was still a model and actress at the time, but is now better known as the mother of a beautiful woman Liv Tyler. Her passion for musicians performed at 16 years old age when she briefly saw s Paul Cowsill from the group Cowsills. After that, she quickly found her way among the then "rock n roll" elites, famous names such as Mick Jagger , David Bowie and Steven Tyler.
She is still considered one of the boldest leading ladies in the category.

Sable Starr and Iggy Pop

She follows right on her heels Sable Starr, the queen of the so-called ''baby groupies'' (she was barely old 14 years) and at that time a regular guest of rocker hotspots, bars such as the well-known one Whiskey A Go Go. Her signature style included glam rock outfits and a ring in her platinum blonde hair. She received the most attention from Marc Bolan, Alice Cooper and Robert Plant.

Pamela Des Barres

It follows her in third place Pamela Des Barres, which, among other things, confused the heads of musicians such as Keith Moon and Jimmy Page. She was most immortalized by the style of wearing a crown of daisies in her hair and mini skirts. Bianca Jagger turned the concept of "groupies" in the other direction, as many men went to her instead of her to them. At the beginning, she "cast a spell" on the player Michael Caine, and later Mick Jagger, whom she also married. A woman who is still considered a "fairytale" myth of the 70s.

The irresistible Anita Pallenberg
