The book listed the following as the same group and they do sound alike.
- Sources and comments indicate they are three different groups.
- The information is not conclusive but credible.
- Group members are needed for the following entries.
1.
as The Dimples – Toy Telephone/ Gimme Jimmy, ’58 (Era 1079, Doré 2001 & Era 3079, ’62)
- This is reported to be a Ricky Page-connected group of girls who do only this one song.
- Writing credits on both sides: J Saraceno, F Perry, A Firth.
2.
as Dimples – An Invitation To A Party/ My Sister’s Beau, ’59 (Doré 517)
- Writing credits: Kronds, Jacobson/ Hoffman, Jay.
To paraphrase a comment on youtube, someone wrote: “I am the one on ‘Invitation To A party and My Sister’s Beau’, but I am not the one singing on ‘Toy Telephone or Gimme Jimmy.’
3.
Dimples as The Dimples (Philadelphia Label) – Dreaming Of You/ Please Don’t Be Angry With Me, ’64 (Cameo 325)
- Writing credits on both sides: R Mareno, J Sawyer.
The relevant part of a youtube comment: “I’m one of the “girls” (high harmony) … I recorded with my two best friends in high school.” Writing for both sides is Mareno & Sawyer.
