The Cranberries

. Although Dinning never duplicated the success of "Teen Angel," he had three minor hit records in the ensuing few years and continued to perform in the music industry until his unexpected passing at the age of fifty-two from a heart attack in Jefferson City, Missouri. Dolores sings the title track to the movie The Passion of the Christ, "Ave Maria". The sad lyrics told of the death of a teenage love that radio stations in the United Kingdom deemed too morbid to be aired but went to No.1 on the Billboard Charts in the United States. Dolores went on to record a solo album (to be released in early 2006) and Noel launched into the recording of a guitar album, off which two songs were released in November 2004 on the European iTunes download service under the name Mono Band. His recording efforts met with limited success until 1960 when he recorded a 45rpm single called "Teen Angel" that was written by his sister Jean & her husband Red Surrey. However, in 2004, The Cranberries announced they were taking some time to pursue individual careers. Dinning pursued a career in country music and in 1957, Wesley Rose got him a record contract.

A new single, the title track off of the Stars CD, charted in Europe and Asia. From a musical family, three of his sisters formed the Dinning Sisters singing group that had a "Top Ten" hit in the late 1940s. A "best of" compilation entitled Stars was released in 2002, along with a DVD of groundbreaking award-winning music videos. Dinning was born near Drury, Oklahoma but grew up on a farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee. The band seemed to be back on track. Mark Dinning ( August 17, 1933 - March 22, 1986 ) was an American singer. charts.

The album debuted at number 54 in the U.S. In 2001 they released Wake Up And Smell The Coffee to rave reviews. During the next few years, the band cancelled a large tour and rumors of a breakup were widespread, though they released Bury the Hatchet to mixed reviews in 1999. Amidst rumors of O'Riordan's imminent departure, the band released To the Faithful Departed to limited success.

Zombie, one of the band's most famous songs, was a protest about the violence between Protestant and Catholic extremists in Northern Ireland in the time of The Troubles [1] (http://www.cloudsmagazine.com/12/Carmen_Bujdei_The_Irish_Experience.htm). O'Riordan's status as frontwoman was causing tensions within the group as they recorded No Need to Argue, another hit album that included Zombie and Ode to My Family. In 1994, O'Riordan married Don Burton, the band's tour manager. The single Dreams also became a hit reaching #14 on the US charts.

The second single, Linger, became a huge hit in both the United Kingdom and the United States. After ditching their manager, the Cranberries recorded Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?. After a major-label bidding war, The Cranberries signed with Island Records and recorded Uncertain, their debut single which was unsuccessful. Their homemade demo tape sold well locally, and the band soon recorded a demo tape that earned much popular and critical interest.

The band was originally named The Cranberry Saw Us. Dolores O'Riordan auditioned for and won the role of lead singer, writing a song called "Linger" based around the band's existing demo. Noel and Mike Hogan, two brothers from Limerick City, formed the band with drummer Fergal Lawler in 1990. The Cranberries are an Irish rock and roll band that arose to mainstream popularity in the 1990s. They (temporarily) disbanded in 2003.
