May Pang is one of the most popular and richest Jewellery Designer who was born on October 24, 1950 in New York, United States. May Fung Yee Pang, born October 24, 1950, is an American former music executive. As a personal assistant to John Lennon, she was also a production coordinator. After Ono and Lennon separated in 1973, Pang began a long-lasting relationship with Lennon. Later, Lennon called this period his “Lost Weekend”. Pang produced two books about their relationship: a memoir called Loving John (1983) and a book with photographs entitled Instamatic Karma (2008) (St. Martin’s Press 2008).
Julian started to visit his father more often. Julian was gifted a Gibson Les Paul guitar by Lennon and a drum-machine for Christmas 1973. Lennon encouraged Julian’s love of music and showed him how to play chords. Julian recalls that he and his dad got along a lot better back then. We had a lot fun, laughed a lot, and had a great experience when May Pang was with us. It was the most joyful time that I can recall with May and Dad.
In mid-1973, Pang was working on the recording of Lennon’s Mind Games album. Lennon and Ono were having marital problems and decided to separate, and Ono suggested to Pang that she become Lennon’s companion. Ono explained that she and Lennon were not getting along, had been arguing and were growing apart, and said that Lennon would start seeing other women. She pointed out that Lennon had said he found Pang sexually attractive. Pang replied that she could never start a relationship with Lennon as he was her employer and married. Ono ignored Pang’s protests and said that she would arrange everything. Ono later confirmed this conversation in an interview. In October 1973, Lennon and Pang left New York for Los Angeles to promote Mind Games, and decided to stay for a while, living at the homes of friends.
In June 1974, Lennon and Pang returned to live in Manhattan. Lennon stopped drinking and concentrated on recording. Lennon previously had cats while he lived at his Aunt Mimi’s house in Liverpool; he and Pang adopted two cats that they named Major and Minor. In the early summer, Lennon was working on his Walls and Bridges album when the couple moved into a penthouse apartment at 434 East 52nd Street. On August 23, Lennon and Pang claimed to have seen a UFO from their terrace, which had a panoramic view of Queens. To gain access to the deck, Lennon and Pang had to climb out of their kitchen window. On the night in question, a naked Lennon excitedly called Pang to join him on the deck outside and they both watched a circular object silently floating less than 100 feet away. Lennon called Bob Gruen—Lennon’s “official” photographer—and told him what had happened. Gruen suggested Lennon should call the police, but Lennon laughed it off, saying, “I’m not going to call up the newspaper and say, ‘This is John Lennon and I saw a flying saucer last night.'” Gruen called the local police precinct which confirmed that three other people had reported a sighting, and the Daily News said that five people had reported a sighting in the same area of New York where Lennon and Pang lived. Lennon references the incident in the song, “Nobody Told Me”.
In December 1970, Lennon asked Pang to assist Ono and Lennon with their avant-garde film projects Up Your Legs Forever (and Fly), respectively. Pang was asked to become Lennon’s secretary and factotum/gofer to New York and Britain. This resulted in a permanent position as their personal assistant, when the Lenons moved to New York from London in 1971. Pang coordinated an art exhibit in Syracuse, New York for Ono’s It Is Not Here art show at Everson Museum on October 9, 1971. Ono’s show was scheduled to coincide with Lennon 31st birthday. A party was held at Hotel Syracuse where Elliot Mintz and Phil Spector attended.
