Jo Jo Laine (born Joanne LaPatrie, Danvers, Massachusetts, July 13, 1952— London, October 29, 2006) was an American singer, model and actress, who married The Moody Blues founder Denny Laine while he was a member of Paul McCartney's group Wings. Originally a groupie who had affairs with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and many other artists, she had a lengthy relationship with Rod Stewart just before her meeting Laine. Stewart is said to have written the hit song "You Wear It Well" for her, and in the foreword to her autobiography (as yet unpublished) he wrote 'You wore it well then, Jo Jo, and you wear it well now.' Ginger Baker wrote the last page of her book, saying - very affectionately - 'No sane man would go near her.'
