Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for songs that were written about real people.

Examples I already have are Man on the Moon by REM is about Andy Kaufman and Killing Me Softly, the Roberta Flack hit, is about Don MacLean.

Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot

You're Beautiful, James Blunt. Apparently written for a girl he saw on the London Underground.
