Another bit of trivia about this song: Jack Lawrence wrote it in homage to the cute 5-year-old daughter of his attorney, Lee Eastman. Linda Eastman is better know as the wife of Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney (1941-1998)!
My grandmother used to sing this to me everytime I talked to her one the phone and always played the record whenever I visited. I really do love this song.
His wife was Nedra Clark, and she once had an emergency with one of the two kids, she threw the kid in her car, and backed over the other one!! No luck, they both were OK though....Buddy's plane crashed due to overloading and balance issues, he was in Vegas, a big football fan, and wanted to get to a College Football game in LA, he talked his way onto the flight, and it crashed.....No luck at all this guy, I remember this song as a kid, and it is the reason so many baby boomers were names Linda!
Jan &Dean must have copied Buddy with their rendition of "Linda" "When I go to sleep, I rather count sheep. Instead I spend all my charms on Linda."
