- Wore contact lenses for years, and recommended them to John Lennon when they met on tour with Roy Orbison. Unfortunately, hard lenses (the only kind available at the time) weren't exactly compatible with the jellybabies thrown by The Beatles's fans, which occasionally hit Lennon in the face and eyes, and he soon gave up on contacts.
- Good friend of Glen Campbell.
- His 1973 song "Summer (The First Time)" was voted Best Summer Song in a British music poll.
- Had a reputation for occasional clumsiness (such as cutting his bare foot on a Rice Krispie left on the floor), which he took in stride; he told fans in the liner notes to his "Tenth Anniversary Album" that stories they'd heard about it were probably true.
- Daughter born, 10 December 1974.
