Dinning Sisters
The Dinning Sisters were an American sisters singing group, active from the late 1930s to 1955. They made a handful of film appearances and had several hit records at the height of their popularity in the late 1940s. The trio originally consisted of Ella Lucille "Lou" Dinning, Eugenia Doy "Jean" Dinning and Virginia Moy "Ginger" Dinning. Jean and Ginger were twins. Lou Dinning left the group in 1946 to be replaced by Jayne Bundesen. Beginning in 1949, another Dinning sister was added to the lineup, replacing Bundsen: Dolores May "Tootsie" Dinning. This version of the Dinning Sisters lasted through about 1953, before Dolores left to continue her musical career as a session singer. Ginger and Jean continued to release material through 1955, before breaking up the act. Jean and Dolores both remained in the music business. Jean co-wrote the 1959 hit single "Teen Angel" for her brother Mark Dinning, while Dolores was a co-founder of The Nashville Edition, a singing group heard as backing vocalists on numerous records of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The original three Dinning Sisters (Lou, Jean and Ginger) reunited in the 1980s, and performed through the 1990s. |
