She recorded with / worked with Vernon Harrell. Harrell was from New York & he made some recordings himself in the 60's and 70's. Under the name Keidar Syenon Harrell he also co-wrote songs with J R Bailey. 

 

Decca Records got involved with the duo in 1964 .............

Little Gigi was signed to Straight Ahead Rhythm Inc in 64. This outfit was run by Jean Grace (song writer / arranger). At that time the outfit was also getting into TV work -- they made a show titled 'All The World of Music' that was screened in the US.

Doles Dickens was a musical director for the company & in 64 he was making records (for them) with the likes of King Coleman (radio DJ with WWRL) and Kenny Burrell.

This has to be the guy from Straight Ahead Productions: Doles Dickens ....

... seems he had a long association with Decca, maybe why Little Gigi's 45's ended up on the label .........

Tarx Records operated out of the same NY address as Triode ... AND ... Doles Dickens worked on some of their cuts. He doesn't however get a mention on the label of this Tarx 45 from Baltimore's Benny Johnson (cut a good while before his Today stuff) ....
