Biography
The Dinning Sisters, consisting of Ella Lucille "Lou" Dinning, Eugenia Doy "Jean" Dinning, and Virginia Moy "Ginger" Dinning, were born in Caldwell, Kansas, United States, and raised in Oklahoma. The trio began their musical journey by winning amateur singing contests and performing on local radio stations like WENR in Chicago. Their breakthrough came with appearances on the national NBC National Barn Dance radio show and a role in the 1942 film Strictly in the Groove. In 1943, they signed with Capitol Records and released several hits, including "My Adobe Hacienda" and "Buttons and Bows", which reached number 10. Lou Dinning left the group in 1946 and was replaced by Jayne Bundesen. The lineup changed again in 1949 when Dolores May "Tootsie" Dinning joined, replacing Bundesen. Post-disbandment, Jean Dinning co-wrote the hit single "Teen Angel" (1959), while Dolores Edgin founded The Nashville Edition, a prominent backup vocal group.
