Page "Yoko Ono" Paragraph 16

In 1971, while studying with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Majorca, Ono's second husband, Anthony Cox, accused Ono of abducting their daughter Kyoko from his hotel.

A large number of accusations were then made by both parents toward each other and the matter of custody.

Cox eventually moved to Houston, Texas, and converted to Evangelical Christianity with his new wife, who was originally from Houston.

At the end of 1971, a custody hearing in Houston went against Cox.

In violation of the order, he took Kyoko and disappeared.

Ono then launched a search for her daughter with the aid of the police and private investigators.

Ono wrote a song about her daughter, " Don't Worry Kyoko ( Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow )," which appears on Lennon and Ono's album Live Peace In Toronto 1969 and her album Fly.

Both versions feature Eric Clapton on guitar.

Kyoko is also referenced on the first line of " Happy Christmas ( War Is Over )" when Yoko whispers " Happy Christmas Kyoko " followed by Lennon whispering " Happy Christmas Julian.
