Post Description

b. 18 July 1947, Ferriday, Louisiana, USA. The youngest sister of Jerry Lee Lewis. Encouraged by his success, she was only 13 when, with sister Frankie Jean, she recorded a single for Sun Records on 13 December 1960. It was not released but it sparked her desire to be a singer. Frankie Jean however, never had her sister's desire to be a singer, although she had made rockabilly duets with Jesse Lee Turner for Sun in 1958, that attracted Chet Atkins. She claimed she wanted to sing Patsy Cline material not rockabilly like her sister and turned down a Decca Records contract. She toured with Jerry Lee Lewis for some years and later became involved with the Jerry Lee Lewis Museum at Ferriday. Linda Gail quit school in the early 60s and took to the road as a backing vocalist with her brother's show. She gained no preferential treatment from the unpredictable star, on one occasion being embarrassed when, after missing her cue, her brother stopped singing to ask through the microphone 'Are you watching this show or are you in it?' She was not so backward regarding marriage since she first married at 14 and soon divorced to marry a sailor, after a three-day romance, when she was 15. He went back to sea and she never saw him again but soon married Jerry Lee Lewis' best friend Cecil Harrelson. They had two children, Cecil Jnr. and Mary Jean, then divorced but after a brief marriage to husband number four, Jerry Lee Lewis' guitarist Kenneth Lovelace, she remarried Cecil in 1971.

In March 1963, she duetted with her brother on 'Seasons Of My Heart' and at the same Sun session, she cut two solo numbers 'Nothin' Shakin'' and 'Sittin' And Thinkin''. They were set for release on Sun 385 but for some reason were not issued. When Jerry Lee moved to Smash Records in 1964, she duetted on 'We Live In Two Different Worlds', which appeared onAnother Place Another Time, his first album for the label. The success of this record led to a duet album, which contained fine versions of 'Milwaukee Here I Come' and two chart hits, 'Don't Let Me Cross Over' (number 9) and the less popular 'Roll Over Beethoven' (number 71). She recorded several singles for the label (some were later reissued by Mercury Records), including 'Turn Back The Hands Of Time', a superb version of 'Paper Roses' and 'Before The Snow Flies'. She also gained her first solo album and registered her only solo chart hit, in 1972, with a Mercury release 'Smile, Somebody Loves You'.
