Linda has been involved in the music industry her entire life. Sounds of Memphis began in 1962 by her father, Eugene Lucchesi, Sr. One of the biggest hits they recorded was "Wooly Bully" in 1965. The song became a #1 hit worldwide and sold over 1,000,000 copies!

Linda began as a commercial photographer before turning her lens to the fine arts. After extensive travels in the West and Canada, her passion for capturing the land scape and vast nature was heightened. She lived in a cabin nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, from '71 to '77 and owned Studio 7, located in Port Angeles, WA from the late 70s to early 80s.

Linda returned to Memphis and became an integral part of Simply Grand Music, Inc in 1982. Through hard work and perseverance, the song "Wooly Bully" was revived and licensed in hundreds of television shows,movies, commercials and albums. Using her love of photography and creative mind, Linda had an animation deal in the works with Hyperion to distribute a cartoon, toys, books, and other novelties using the characters from “Wooly Bully”.

Linda was called back to the music industry after a brief retirement when several new opportunities presented themselves. She started two music labels, Simply Grand Music, Inc. and Memphis Town Music.

Linda is, and has been for over 20 years, a voting member of NARAS and the CMA Awards. Linda is a member of the NMPA, NSAI, and A2IM.

The future holds many promising opportunities with publishing and re-releasing this great Memphis Music catalog that have been in the Simply Grand Music vaults for years! The vaults contain songs from the labels of Pen, Crystal, XL, Gold Dust, and MGM/SOM. The publishing companies in our history include Beckie Publishing, Il Gatto, Sounds of Memphis, Memphis Town Music, and Simply Grand Music, Inc. They have been releasing singles and albums for the past six years. You can find us on Ace Records, The Orchard, and Simply Grand Music, Inc. Recent cuts by Leela James and several song placements in television shows and movies have helped the catalog become more visible and earn new fans.

With deep ties in the rich Memphis music history, Linda has worked hard to bring Memphis back to prominence. With new artist and songwriter, Ciera Ouellette, she hopes to do just that! Simply Grand Music, Inc. has recently opened an office on Music Row in Nashville to bring some of that Memphis soul to the country world.
