'Teen Angel' songwriter Jean Dinning dies at 86 March 10, 2011 Songwriter Jean Dinning, who wrote the teen tragedy hit "Teen Angel," has died. She was 86. Daughter Cynthia Wygal tells the Orange County Register that her mother died Feb. 22 in Garden Grove. Dinning's brother Mark performed "Teen Angel," which is about a girl who dies tragically. A couple's car stalls on railroad tracks and they safely get out, but the girl runs back to get the boy's high school class ring and a train hits the car. The song was released in October 1959 and it became an instant hit. ::snipping2:: Title: Re: 'Teen Angel' songwriter Jean Dinning dies at 86 Post by: Nut44x4 on March 18, 2011, 05:07:56 PM Remember it well.
