Singer/Songwriter.
Best known as member of "The Clinger Sisters".
Wrote songs for "The Partridge Family" and "Cher", among others.
Songwriting partner of Johnny Cymbal. The two would team up on many compositions working initially for the Chelsea Record label.
Singing voice for "Kitty Jo" from The Hanna-Barbera ABC-TV Show, "The Cattanooga Cats".
Johnny Cymbal of “Mr. Bass Man” fame and later of “Cinnamon” fame as “Derek”, met and fell in love with Peggy Clinger in the late 1960’s.
At some point during their relationship, Peggy would find her way to the Colorado town of Boulder, most likely in 1972 or possibly 1973. The pair would not only compose but traveled together performing around the U.S. At some point Cymbal must have come through or spent time in Boulder to visit or be with Peggy – and in 1973 he released a single “Boulder Colorado” under his last name “Cymbal”. Peggy is listed as the co-arranger on this single.
Sadly, Peggy Clinger would pass away as the result of a drug overdose while residing in her Boulder home. Peggy’s death sent Cymbal into the lowest point of his life. The couple had broken up before her death but this didn’t lessen the impact on Johnny...
He eventually emerged – cured – and turned to Christianity and eventually back into music in the Nashville scene.
