On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, Tuscon native CHRIS O'DELL tells how she parlayed a chance meeting with Beatle's publicist Derek Taylor into a career behind the scenes in the world of rock, first as secretary for The Beatles owned Apple Records, personal assistant to The Rolling Stones on their “Exile On Main Street” tour, then later as one of rock's first female Tour Managers working for George Harrison, Santana, CSNY, and Bob Dylan and more. We also cover her singing backup on a Beatles classic, living with George & Patti Harrison at Friar Park, and how Robert Stigwood quite possibly saved her from being murdered by a member of Derek & The Dominoes! ---------------------------------------------- ֎ Buy Chris's book “Miss O'Dell: Hard Days and Long Nights with The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton” - https://amzn.to/3tyibBw ֎ Chris's upcoming BeatleFest appearance https://www.thefest.com/guests/chris-odell-chicago-2022/ Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCFB7uJ3dg4IKSxsNny9Jiw/videos ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast Be sure to check out our all-new OFFICIAL IORR PODCAST STORE!
