Janet "Planet" Morrison was Van Morrison's wife and muse. During their tumultuous marriage Van released some of his most memorable albums including: Astral Weeks, Moondance, Tupelo Honey, His Band & the Street Choir. She is featured on the cover of Morrison's album Tupelo Honey, astride a white stallion wearing a long flowered dress. The doe-eyed beauty is said to have inspired the songs: Ballerina, Beside You, Crazy Love, You're My Woman and The Way Young Lovers Do. The couple parted ways in the 70s.
