“Woman” by John Lennon (1981)

No one would argue if the statement that John Lennon is interchanged with music genius. Shortly before he was assassinated on December 8, 1980, he wrote a song called “Woman” for Yoko Ono, his wife. It would become the first single released posthumously from the album “Double Fantasy”. It’s not a surprise Lennon composed a song that is so beautiful about Ono. In several interviews of Lennon, he spoke enthusiastically about her, even saying that “Woman” is an adult version of another song of his, “Girl”.

Secretly, Mick Jagger was dating Marsha Hunt, a singer and a model. Although their relationship was short-lived, they had a child together, Karis. Because of this, Hunt became the inspiration behind Jagger’s hit track, “Brown Sugar”. While Claudia Lennear, a singer, claims the tune is in actual fact about her since she was seeing Jagger during that time, he has never admitted in public which lady indeed inspired the iconic song.
