On To David Foster
Not long after ending her marriage with Jenner, Thompson met Canadian music producer, David Foster. The two bonded over music and spent time in the studio together. Let’s not forget that Linda Thompson was a songwriter. She began her career as a lyricist when she wrote the recently deceased Kenny Rogers single “Our Perfect Song.”

But Thompson also collaborated with David Foster on several songs, including “No Explanation” for the film Pretty Woman (in 1990), and “I Have Nothing” for the film The Bodyguard (in 1992). Those two songs earned both Thompson and Foster the Academy Award for Best Song in 1993 and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television in 1994.
