"Capitol's Gillette To Take Leave

HOLLYWOOD - Producer Lee Gillette, after 20 years with Capitol, departs the company April 1 on a four-month leave of absence.

Gillette is currently completing a Don Scarletta jazz LP, a Freddie Martin package and three Nat Cole albums. Capitol has 178 unreleased Cole masters which Gillette is screening for the three tribute packages. He just produced Tennessee Ernie Ford's new single version of "16 Tons," a previous hit on Capitol.

The veteran producer has over two dozen gold records to his credit and has recorded such artists as Peggy Lee, Tex Williams, Cole, Stan Kenton, Ford, Ray Anthony, Tex Ritter, Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle, Merle Travis, Hank Thompson, Guy Lombardo, Jimmy Wakely, Margaret Whiting, Freddie Martin, Pee Wee Hunt and Dean Martin.

When Gillette joined Capitol's a&r department in 1944 the company was only two years old. Before Capitol he worked in radio at WAAF and WJJD, Chicago."
