Gin Gillette

This is a bit of a mystery. Nobody knows who Gin Gillette was. The only information we have is that she only recorded two tracks for Musikon Records of 3456 Floyd Terrace, Los Angeles, CA in 1961. The A side is "She'll Never Let Him Go" and the flip is "Train to Satanville". The conductor listed on the label was Jessie Sales, but any attempt to find out more about him or her just leads back to Gin Gillette's two songs. Same with the composer, Frank Henderson.

Some people think she was Robie Lester who together with Cy Irwin is listed as the producer. Irwin just leads back to Gin, but Robie was a successful female singer, actress and in-demand voice-over artist, who did a lot of work for Disney.

And finally the mystery has been solved!! Thanks to Neil for sending the link!! All the information is taken from oldwax.blogspot.com

Virginia Boyle was born in 1931 at her father's ranch just outside Gillette, Wyoming. By the time she was nine years old she was riding in rodeos throughout Wyoming and Montana. By now people were stopping to listen to the voice of the little rodeo queen. In 1952 she joined the Special Service Unit of the 7th Army and toured Germany where she met and married in 1955 Kenneth "Thumbs" Carllile (Carlisle), a guitarist from Missouri who performed in the same Special Services division. Together, they appeared later on ABC-TV's Ozark Jubilee in Springfield, Missouri from 1956–57, both as a soloist and with Bill Wimberley's Country Rhythm Boys with whom Virginia recorded on the Morton Levand's Tex label. In the late 50s, Virginia and "Thumbs" performed in Billings, Montana and appeared on KOOK-TV.

For Musikon Records of 3456 Floyd Terrace, Los Angeles, she only recorded two tracks as Gin Gillette in 1961. That same year her husband Thumbs Carllile met guitarist Les Paul. Impressed by Carllile's skill and his wife's songwriting, Les Paul recorded  the duet at his home studio in Mahwah, New Jersey (Les Paul on bass, Mary Ford on rhythm guitar, and Gene Paul on drums) The record, issued on Epic Records as by Thumbs Carlyle and Ginny O'Boyle, was advertised in a Billboard full page in June 1962.
