The Dinning Sisters, comprising Lou, Jean and Ginger Dinning (Jean and Ginger were twins), were all born in the early 1920s in Kansas, and started singing together professionally in the late 1930s, basing their style on The Andrews Sisters. They won talent contests and got work on radio in Chicago in 1939, and did transcription recordings and "soundies" before a movie appearance led to their being signed by the newly-founded Capitol label in 1943 as the company's answer to the Andrews Sisters. They enjoyed their heyday during 1947 and '48 when they had a run of four hits in the Billboard chart. This 53-track 2-CD collection comprises selected A & B sides of their releases on the Capitol, Decca and Essex labels from these years, plus early transcription and soundie recordings. It features their hits "My Adobe Hacienda", "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now", "I Beg Your Pardon" and "Buttons And Bows", and includes recordings with Tex Ritter, Bob Crosby, Art Van Damme and Tennessee Ernie Ford. The group disbanded in 1955, so this collection offers a representative overview of their entire recording career before their style was largely overtaken by the advent of rock 'n' roll. They were a vivacious and versatile harmony group, and this collection is an entertaining showcase for their talents.
