Who is Ginny Wright?

Ginny Wright is an American country music singer. She was born in Twin City, Georgia during the 1930s, first sang in glee clubs, and studied opera. She began performing country music in the early 1950s. Her first single was on the Triple A label, following her discovery by deejay Jack Gale.

Wright next signed with the new Fabor label on the West Coast, recording a duet with Jim Reeves, "I Love You", which spent 22 weeks on Billboard's country charts in early 1954, peaking at No. 3. One year later she returned to the hit parade with another duet, "Are You Mine", this time with Tom Tall, which did even better. Over a 26 week run on Billboard's country charts, it peaked at No. 2. It was her second top 10 duet and her final chart appearance.

After taking a break from her career in the mid-1950s to raise a family, Wright entered country music in the 1960s, cutting a few singles for the Chart label. Wright recorded more duets, including additional ones with Tom Tall, who followed her to the Chart label.

Her sound began to change in the 1960s, acquiring more of a Nashville flavor.
