Donnie And Diane

This brother and sister act from southern Kansas sang together because of their mothers insistence, and encouragement. They honestly couldn’t understand why people responded to them. But respond, they did. When songwriter Bill Post returned from California, he took an interest in the two youngsters, producing a record entitled “Hotrod Weekend”, which climbed into the regional top 10, and received national airplay. A few years later, Donnie and Diane won Wichita radio station KFDI’S talent contest. First place was a recording session, and they recorded “Little Bitty Mini Skirt”, which reached #11 on KFDI’S music charts. Donnie and Diane set attendance records at local fairs and shows, and were very well known in the southern Kansas- northern Oklahoma regions. An album was released in 1972, and was re-released on CD in 2013. Bonus tracks include all of their singles, plus many unreleased gems by the duo, including six songs with Conway Twitty and the Blue Boys.
Also appears backed by The Catalinas (7).
