According to Rodney Bingenheimer's interview with Geraldine Edwards which took place in 1975, that is true. Geraldine Edwards met the legendary Shelley Yakus, who is hands down the must famous record producer in the world, and who owned the Record Plant at the time, in 1974, backstage at the San Diego Sports Arena. She was seventeen years old at the time. Shelley Yakus took a shine to her, and told her that he was going to be recording "Frankenstein Live" that night for the Winters Brothers and that Rick Derringer was going to be onstage helping them out. He asked her if she would like to help him in doing this, and she said yes. What she actually did on the recording was monitor Danny Hartman's base levels and label the tape boxes, but she enjoyed the experience, saying that she now had a "new respect for sound men who worked at live performances. Mixing a live show requires serious skill and talent." Geraldine and Shelley Yakus, who was John Lennon's sound producer and worked with a who's who of superstars, remained friends. Geraldine Edwards was given credit on the first thousand copies of Frankenstien Live released in 1975, listed as a "production assistant" as a gift from Shelley Yakus.

Was geraldine Edwards Robert palmers girlfriend and the woman who dated Eric clapton rick springfield roger daltry and others the woman almost famous was written about?
Yes she was. Geraldine Edwards met Cameron Crowe in San Diego, California, in 1975 backstage at the San Diego Sports Arena. At the time Cameron Crowe was interested in being a Sports Writer and was a fan of the San Diego Gulls. Geraldine suggested that he widen his range and interview all types of people, including musicians. He took her advice and found that he actually preferred interviewing musicians. It was written in some articles that Pam DeBarres and Bebe Buell were partial inspirations for the Penny Lane character. That is not correct. Penny Lane was eighteen years old and a San Diegan who was a groupie who hung around the "World Famous San Diego Sports Arena." That was the history of Geraldine Edwards, not DeBarres and Buell. In addition to that, Cameron Crowe cited Geraldine's name as the inspiration for Penny Lane in an 2000 interview.
Did Mary Ambrose Robert Palmers former girlfriend inherit his mansion in Lugano Switzerland I have read comments by his grown children that the Estate was sold?
No, Mary Ambrose did not inherit his manison in Lugano, Switzerland. It was sold as part of the Estate of Robert Palmer. The mansion was sold by Soteby's European Real Estate Division in early 2004 at the behest of James Palmer, the Executor of the Estate of Robert Palmer. According to James Palmer, the proceeds of the sale were distributed equally among Robert Palmer's five children.
Why was an article in the Sunday Mirror about Robert Palmer and Mary Ambrose debunked by the Palmer family and Palmers publicity manager Any details?
The article was publicly debunked because Robert Palmer had never given the interview. The article was pointed out to the Palmer family and to Robert Palmer's publicity agent, Elizabeth Freund, who looked into the matter. Freund kept a log of Robert Palmer's interviews fastidiously, and noticed that no such interview was given by Palmer. The writer of the article was contacted to clarify the situation, and she informed the Palmer family's attorney that she had conducted the interview by telephone, and had provided the exact date and time the alleged telephone interview took place. As it turned out, at the time the interview was allegedly taking place, Robert Palmer was onstage recording his television special "Every Kinda People", and numerous people vouched for his whereabouts at the time. Obviously, Palmer could not have been giving a telephone interview and performing onstage at the same time, therefore the article was publicly debunked. Apparently, the article was pointed out in the first place because Mary Ambrose was not Robert Palmer's girlfriend, that was Geraldine Edwards, as stated publicly by Robert Palmer. Secondly, the article attributed preposterous quotes as being made by Robert Palmer. As Anna Palmer pointed out, the verbiage was not her father's style and it raised a red flag. Later on it was revealed that Mary Ambrose had put a "friend" up to impersonating Palmer for the interview, who was later questioned, as some people close to Robert Palmer suspected this was the case. The man, who's name was Christopher Locke, and was close to Mary Ambrose, admitted to what he had done, and said he had done it as a favor to Mary Ambrose after she had begged him to help her. He said that he regretted his actions, and did not realize that the interview would actually be published. When Ambrose was questioned about her actions, she told Anna Palmer "I know Robert loved me and I wanted the world to know! I had every right to do it!" The article was then officially debunked, but not before numerous people read it.
Does Mary Ambrose who dated Robert Palmer receive child support from Mick Carter Palmers former manager for their son born in 2001?
The answer is yes, although the amount she inherited was negligible. Out of the $54 Million Estate, she was only awarded a total of $16,000.00. Interviews were given by Ambrose in 2004 stating that the disbursement of the Will was being "held up" because Switzerland did not recognize "Common Law Wives" and that Robert Palmer had written the Will in her favour. That was not correct. Ambrose was not Robert Palmer's common law wife to start with, and the Will was ajudicated in Paris, France, not Switzerland. As it turned out, Robert Palmer had written his Last Will and Testament to favour his children and to benefit UNICEF. Mary Ambrose did sue the Estate of Robert Palmer in 2004, but her matter was dismissed by the Paris, France Court. She Appealed the Court's decision, but her Appeal was dismissed in 2004.
Did Mary Ambrose co-write love takes time on Robert Palmers Honey as she had said I thought he wrote it with Sharon O'neill who i was a fan of?
No, she did not. According to the liner notes on Honey, "Love Takes Time" was in fact written by Robert Palmer and Sharon O'Neill. According to Mary Ambrose's brother and many other witnesses, Mary Ambrose did not even meet Robert Palmer until late 1995. Honey was released in 1994. Mary Ambrose tried to claim credit for co-writing Aeroplane on Robert Palmer's Don't Explain. That song was written by Robert Palmer alone. Robert Palmer did allow her to do some back up singing on Rhythm and Blues and Drive, but on Rythm and Blues, B.J. Nash had to go over and correct Ambrose's contributions and on Drive Tina Ann Hart had to re-do Ambrose's contributions, also. Palmer did give Ambrose credit in the liner notes for both, though. At any rate, credit should be given where credit is due. Love Takes Time was co-written by Sharon O'Neill, not Mary Ambrose.

Quite a few men bought the album just for it's cover photo. It was risque but I went with it. The seventies were a time of expansion in every way, including the widening of boundaries and what was considered socially acceptable. It shocked some but I as willing to take the risk."
