Linda - Ray Noble's Orchestra and scores of other artists - written for the daughter of attorney Lee Eastman (yes, you guessed it).

0 points, song title being Candle in the wind. (Maybe we should change the aim to "opening lines with women's names in them?!).

Sweet Jane: Lou Reed (Velvet Underground?)

Maggie Mae - Beatles, and Maggie May - Rod Stewart. That's two in one, almost.
