Linda Keith (born 1946) is a former British fashion model, [1] best known for her work for Vogue magazine during the 1960s as well as her involvement in the rock music scene during the Swinging Sixties. [2]
Linda Keith was born in West Hampstead, London, England, [3] to Pearl Rebuck and Alan Keith, a British actor and radio presenter. Her brother Brian Keith is a judge.
Keith began modeling in the 60s, which her father objected to. While working for Vogue, Linda dated Keith Richards and later Brian Jones and spent time living in New York City where she frequented the clubs in Greenwich Village. She helped discover Jimi Hendrix by introducing him to Chas Chandler. [4] [5] She was also the first cousin of Free guitarist Paul Kossoff.
In the mid-1960s, Keith became well connected culturally in the early days of the "Swinging Sixties". She was photographed by David Bailey and, together with Sheila Klein, partner of the Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Loog Oldham, was at the heart of a bohemian community in London's West Hampstead. She formed relationships with Richards of the Stones and, later in New York City, Jimi Hendrix, but drifted into drug dependency. Richards appears to have been instrumental in Alan Keith's going out to America to find his daughter. On their return she was made a ward of court. She later brought up her own family and, in 2010, was living in New Orleans. [6] According to Richards, Linda Keith was the subject of the Rolling Stones song "Ruby Tuesday". The song includes the lyrics "[w]hen you change with every new day / Still I'm gonna miss you".
In the film Jimi: All Is by My Side it is suggested Jimi Hendrix also wrote the song "Red House" about Keith.
Keith is married to musician and record producer John Porter. [4]

The Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone was the first widely marketed fuzz distortion guitar and bass effect. Introduced in 1962, it achieved widespread popularity in 1965 after the Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards prominent use of the FZ-1 on the group's hit, "Satisfaction". Later in 1965 the design was slightly modified, designated as the model FZ1-1a. In the wake of the success of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," numerous recordings—mostly from 1960s garage rock and psychedelic acts—featured Maestro Fuzz-Tones on guitars. More significant design changes made after 1967 resulted in different renditions of the Fuzz-Tone released over the years. In the 1990s, Gibson re-issued the FZ-1a, but it was later discontinued.
