RARE OLDIES SOUNDIES WITH THE DINNING SISTERS ! The Dinning Sisters were a very popular trio vocal group which personified the swinging, close harmony sounds of the era. Sister Lou, born in 1922 in Kentucky, joined forces with her twin sisters Ginger , and Jean, both born in 1924 in Oklahoma. There were five daughters and four sons total in the musical family, and all sang in the church choir. While in their teens the three Dinning sisters had won several amateur singing contests, and were awarded a 15-minute local radio show. Later they toured as part of Herbie Holmes orchestra. In 1939 they received a five-year contract with NBC in Chicago, and were regular guests on such shows as Gary Moores \"Club Matinee\", the \"Bowman Musical Milkwagon,\" and the \"National Barn Dance.\" They appeared at several clubs in the Chicago area , and even were featured in the Latin Quarter. They were the highest paid radio act in Chicago at the time.
