Got this from a co-worker......
FYI -
Lee V. Eastman -- a British attorney, music publisher and art collector -- noted that all the members of his family had songs for their first names...all, that is, except his daughter, Linda. So Eastman commissioned a client of his, Jack Lawrence, to write the song in 1946. Crooner Buddy Clark recorded the tune in 1947. It became a hit -- so much of a hit, in fact, that it prompted a high percentage of post-war baby girls to be named Linda. Lee Eastman's daughter was later to have yet another claim to fame: she married a Beatle and became Mrs. Paul McCartney. Tragically, her life was cut short by cancer. This post is, in part, a minor token of memorial to a life well-lived. (quote)
Out of quote.
Seems she was in the Eastman-Kodak family. I didn't know. That is Rochester New York. That is across the St. Lawrence seaway from Ontario Province. Hmmmm...........
One of his clients was a songwriter....hhmmmm.......
Perhaps several were in music......... hhhmmmmm.........
Perhaps Bill and LInda and the Eastman's were established friends early on. Who knows. Maybe not.
