Linda Hargrove

Linda Hargrove (married name Bartholomew, born Tallahassee, Florida, February 3, 1949 – October 24, 2010, Tallahassee, Florida) was an American rock/country songwriter and musician. She had her first success in songwriting when she was 17 and co-wrote two songs with a friend. A Tallahassee band, the Other Side, decided to record the songs and they were hits on her hometown's local radio station. In 1969, Linda's brother, Lee Hargrove, was working with another local band, After All (see 1969 in music) that used poems that Linda wrote set to the band's music.
