American vocal group. From a musical family of nine children. Three of them, twins
Jean (Eugenia),
Ginger (Virginia), and
Lou (Lucille), started to win amateur singing contests before age 10, and later began to perform with older brother Ace's Orchestra. The lineup changed slightly over the years: Lou was replaced in 1946 by
Jayne Bundesen, who was in turn replaced by
Dolores May Tootsie (Dinning) Edgin in 1952, but all of them remained involved in music. The Dinning Sisters' brother is
Mark Dinning. The original three Dinning Sisters (Lou, Jean and Ginger) reunited in the 1980s, and performed through the 1990s. In 1988, Collectors Choice released an outstanding collection of their greatest hits, which is well worth checking out.
