Songstress Duet with Ricky: 'You are the Only One'

Does anyone know for sure if the girl singing the duet of 'You Are The Only One' is Lorrie Collins (of the Collins Kids) or Linda Bennett? I have seen both names associated with this episode and song. I had never heard of Ms. Bennett before.

Lorrie was Ricky's girlfriend until she got married to Johnny Cash's manager while she was on tour with Cash. Ricky found out in a music newsletter! The Collins Kids broke up soon after Lorrie married.

Here is some informtion I found on the episode and song:

Rick Counts The Ballots – Season Nine, 12/28/1960
Rick’s ability to keep a secret is put to the test when he finds himself in charge of counting the ballots for the “Campus Queen Contest” — especially since his girlfriend, one of the leading contestants, is determined to learn the results.

Ricky Sings:“You Are The Only One” (duet with Linda Bennett)
“I’m Not Afraid”

The previous account was from mollassesonassis on a forum post here. However, is Linda Bennett the correct name or is it actually Lorrie Collins?

RICK COUNTS THE BALLOTS aired December 28, 1960
Rick, Wally and some other guys have the responsibility of counting the votes for the prom queen election, and also, keeping it a secret.
Rick and the woman that plays Terri Johnson in this episode sing a duet, "You Are The Only One".

The name of the actress that played Terri was unavailable on the video I saw. After the credit page for the four Nelsons came up, the picture went to black.

I did a few more searches and found a photo of Linda Bennett. From that photo, it was Linda in the duet with Ricky in December 1960.

The photo of Linda was taken 8 years after the duet with Ricky during a December 1968 Bob Hope USO Christmas Show in Viet Nam.

Yes the DVD says it's Linda Bennett. I thought she did a great job singing with Rick.

Thanks for the reply. Linda is a beautiful young lady and an excellent singer.

I am fairly sure she is the Linda Bennett (III) listed elsewhere on IMDb, but there is no mention of her doing this episode on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
