Lindsay and producer Terry Melcher were a great songwriting team...
Trivia...Terry Melcher was the intended victim of Charles Manson in the now famous "Sharon Tate" murders. He stiffed Manson on a recording contract and had lived in the house previously....
Manson was in the backseat when I believe Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys drove up to the Sharon Tate house (before she moved in) to drop off Melcher.
From Wikipedia :
Terrence P. Melcher (February 8, 1942 – November 19, 2004) was an American musician and record producer, who was instrumental in shaping the sound of American West Coast rock music. His greatest contribution to the culture of the time was producing The Byrds' innovative cover hits "Mr Tambourine Man" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!", and his groundbreaking work with the Beach Boys. He was the only child of actress/singer Doris Day.
