25 Sep 06 - 03:49 PM (#1843104) Subject: RE: Info Please RE: Linda Thompson From: The Borchester Echo Yes she is. The duo with Paul McNeill wasn't all that short-lived. They were Troubadour residents for quite a while and made at least one recording. |

Well done CR If anyone knows her present details please get her to contact me as I have just minutes ago discovered a very old recording of her and Paul she may be interested to have a listen to. Oh, before I get shouted out by those who like to worry about such things there is no financial gain behind this!!!!!!!! Andy |

26 Sep 06 - 06:22 AM (#1843525) Subject: RE: Info Please RE: Linda Thompson From: NormanD I'd really thought that Linda Thompson had fallen on her feet - with a vengeance - when she received an Oscar nomination for writing one of the Whitney Houston songs in the 1992 move "The Bodyguard". I just checked the details and I was wrong; it's another - US - Linda Thompson. Ents unions' rulings about name confusions obviously don't apply cross-Atlantic. (On a similar theme, anyone who knows London fiddler, crooner and Clark Gable lookalike Bobby Valentino might be amused by the existence of a US R&B star of the same name....) norman |
