In the June 1971 issue of Crawdaddy, Lillian Roxon put forth her belief that many of the men and women who wrote about rock stars had more charisma than their subjects. The author of 1969's "Lillian Roxon's Rock Encyclopedia" rhapsodized about the "white light" generated by her colleagues Danny Fields, Lenny Kaye, Linda Eastman, Danny Goldberg, Dave Marsh, John Mendelsohn, Lisa Robinson, Richard Meltzer, Robert Somma, Richard Robinson ... and Gloria Stavers.
Lillian writes of Gloria ... "Gloria Stavers is a great star because she's beautiful and full of mystery and surprises. It takes a star to spring a surprise ... THAT'S what's mysterious about Gloria Stavers, that she has more surprises up her sleeve."
