    Biography :

    Lavern's second record, 1954's "I Can't Hold Out Any Longer," went nowhere. Then there was the third: in October 1954, the inimitable "Tweedle Dee" was issued.

       

    Now here was a record that could hit the charts. And hit them it did, rising to #4 on the R&B charts and #14 on the more prestigious Pop charts.

       

    Background to "Tweedle Dee," and most of her other hits, was provided by the "Gliders," who were, in reality, Atlantic's ubiquitous backup group, the Cues.
