#QuickSidenote Jean Dinning is best remembered for (co)writing “Teen Angel,” but she was already a pro long before that song broke every teenager’s heart… As a member of The Dinning Sisters (Capitol Records’ answer to The Andrews Sisters), she was makin’ hits in the ‘40s #JeanDinning #OneHitWondered

"Teen Angel" is a #teenageTragedySong written by #JeanDinning and her husband, Red Surrey. Recorded at #BradleyStudios in Nashville, Tennessee, the song was performed by Jean's brother, #MarkDinning, and released in October 1959. The record was not an instant success.
