February 21[edit]

Morricone/Thompson[edit]

I've been trying to improve the Composer fields of my iTunes library, filling in full names and birth/death dates wherever possible. The song "You're Still You" is credited to Ennio Morricone and Linda Thompson. Is that Linda Thompson (singer) (b.1947), or Linda Thompson (actress) (and songwriter; b.1950), or some other? —Tamfang (talk) 22:06, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A number of discography-type sites list her as Linda Thompson-Jenner (e.g. allmusic.com). So that would be the actress and songwriter, b. 1950. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This backs up Sluzzelin's info. MarnetteD|Talk 22:18, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

From what I can gather: both. Linda Thompson actress / songwriters are one and the same. [1] I think the birth dates have confused the same person. The song is credited to her: [2]; but has not yet been added to her category of song: [3] Maineartists (talk) 22:27, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did you look at the Linda Thompson (singer) article? It's clearly about a different person, not a confusion. Perhaps the titles of the two articles should be changed to something like Linda Thompson (British singer) and Linda Thompson (US actress-songwriter). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.71.6.254 (talk) 08:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
