Are you sure it was Jeremy's "Linda" you heard on the radio and not Tommy Roe's "Sheila" - an earlier hit song that "Linda" was obviously based upon:

Of course both songs are heavily influenced by Buddy Holly, most notably his song "Peggy Sue". But "Sheila", as a hit song from the early '60s, would be far more likely to be played on US radio than "Linda", which was never even released in the US.
