Biography
The Teen Queens were an American musical group from the 1950s, consisting of sisters Betty and Rosie Collins. They gained prominence with their debut single "Eddie My Love" (1956), which reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 3 on the R&B Best Sellers chart. Written by their brother Aaron Collins, a singer with The Cadets, the song was followed by several other singles, though none matched its success. In 1958, they left RPM Records and signed with RCA Records for "Dear Tommy" (1958). Later, they released two more singles under Antler Records, including "There's Nothing on My Mind" and "I Heard Violins". Despite these efforts, they disbanded by 1961. Their most notable song, "Eddie My Love", was also recorded by The Chordettes and The Fontane Sisters in 1956 and parodied as "Freddy My Love" in the musical Grease. Rosie Collins died in 1968, while Betty Collins died in 1971.
