Sometime back in 1979, Linda Lou Kestin gave to Kenny Smith an envelope that contained over twenty-five lyrics she had written over the years and that she was also going to submit them to several songwriter’s contests. Linda Lou Kestin’s first record was with the legendary LEE ROGERS, when he recorded “Love And Life” and Linda co-produced the single for CKS Productions. CKS found distribution with Claridge Records, and released it’s only single entitled “Train Of Desire” with Total Force and Demene E. Hall, then Paul McCartney’s MPL Communications took over the company and dropped the little label. Rogers “It Must Be Love” in 1980 followed with Kestin as the songwriter. In 1986, Smith got the chance to record and produce another one of Linda’s first lyrics entitled “You Make My Life So Beautiful” performed by the group “Better Half.” The vocals were to light for the artist, and the track appeared on this group’s album with the same name.

Kestin forged ahead with her writing career, as she was also busy as a single mother raising two beautiful then teenage daughters in Santa Ana. And was the vice-principal of one of the lead magnet schools, and a teacher. Her Hobby of singing and writing song lyrics was a great stress releaser from the job. The year 1987, when Kenny Smith released his first of four albums entitled “Raw And Nasty”, definitely influenced by his moved to Las Vegas. Three Songs from that album included “Love Thang” and “Sweet Gypsy Woman” and “Heartbreaker” with lyrical support from Kestin’s work.
