JOHN LENNON

The two men often helped to make each other's songs better, so they liked to share writing credit. Famous songs written by Lennon for the Beatles are "A Hard Day's Night", "Help!", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "A Day In The Life" and many others.
The Beatles grew apart as the members got older. Lennon divorced his first wife, Cynthia Powell, and married Yoko Ono, while McCartney marriedLinda Eastman. Each wife had different ideas, and encouraged their husbands to depend less on each other. Later, some fans blamed Yoko and Linda for breaking the Beatles up.
Lennon loved his wife so much that he added her surname Ono to his own name, since she became Yoko Ono Lennon when she married him.
He had never liked his middle name Winston (given him by his mother after Winston Churchill) and wanted to simply change it, but British law did not allow this. He could add a new name though, so he did that. He never used the name Winston again, unless he had to for legal reasons (such as his resident alien "green card" in America). Otherwise he gave his "full name" as John Ono Lennon.
