Laurence Francis Nestor (born January 29, 1940) is a singer, songwriter, and author from River Grove, Illinois. Nestor is a member of the American Federation of Musicians and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.[1]
Nestor played keyboards for a short time for The Buckinghams in the early years after the original keyboard player, Dennis Miccolis, left shortly after the Chess Studio recording sessions of Kind of a Drag. Nestor was eventually replaced by Marty Grebb before The Buckinghams hit the charts with Don't You Care, Susan and Hey Baby.
Songwriting
Nestor's songwriting career started in 1962 while still in high school. He was a staff songwriter at Chicago label One-derful Records.[2]
Nestor wrote the song "Loving on Borrowed Time" on Wise World Records for Phil Orsi & The Little Kings in 1963[3]
