Trio féminin
US originaire de Chicago. Les Dinning Sisters
étaient composées des jumelles Jean et Ginger (nées en 1924) et de leur soeur
Lou (née en 1920 dans le Kentucky). Elles ont débuté à la fin des années trente
et ont enregistré chez Capitol Records.
A bright and
harmonious Vocals group in the tradition of the Boswell Sisters and
the Andrews Sisters, the Dinning Sisters
worked in the Midwest in the '40s and early '50s. The Dinnings were a musical
family of nine children, all of whom started singing harmony in church, and then
spent their Sunday afternoons singing for fun. Three of the sisters, twins Jean
and Ginger and sister Lou, started to win amateur singing contests before the
age of ten, and later began to perform with older brother Ace's orchestra. With
little experience but a lot of ambition, the young ladies left their Oklahoma
hometown and traveled to Chicago, where they auditioned for NBC radio. They were
hired and remained for seven years, and ultimately became the highest paid radio
act in the Windy City.
The group underwent a few lineup changes over the years (Lou was replaced in
1946 by Jayne Bundesen, who was in turn replaced by Tootsie Dinning in 1952),
but their albums for Capitol sold consistently well, including their debut
release Songs by the Dinning Sisters which held the top spot on the charts for
18 weeks. Marriages and children eventually demanded the act's attentions, but
the family remained involved in music, from Jean Dinning writing the song "Teen
Angel" to the sisters' nephew Dean playing bass for alterna-rockers Toad the Wet
Sprocket. In 1988, Collectors Choice released an outstanding collection of the
Dinning Sisters greatest hits, which is well worth checking out.
