    • Trivia
      Dated Yoko Ono during her separation from John Lennon in 1973 and 1974; encouraged her to completely cut herself off from Lennon, and left when she refused. Spinozza didn't hear from Ono for years, until after Lennon's murder, when she asked him to sign off on "It Happened", which they'd recorded together, and she now wanted to release as a Lennon tribute. (A coda was added to the 1974 recording, featuring the band from "Double Fantasy".)
