Rokin' Richard or Chrissy?

I have seen some Muppet characetr listings that say that Rockin' Richard is the tall orange member of The Monotones, and Chrissy is the purple guy in The Monotones. However, in the song Telephone Rock, when the purple guy sings "yeah!", it clearly sounds like a Richard Hunt voice, and the members were named after their performers.

So, which is correct?

Of course, I have read recently that The Monotones were performed by whatever performers were available. Maybe that was just the original plan, since I've usually seen Big Jeffy credited as being performed by Jeff Moss, Chrissy being credited as a Christopher Cerf character, and Rockin' richard credited as a Richard Hunt character.

Can anybody help me out?

Little Chrissy (the fat blue with yellow hair) is of Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats and voiced by Chris Cerf.

There are two Sesame Street muppets named Chrissy who were performed by Christopher Cerf. One of them was a member of Little Jerry and The Monotones, who was just called Chrissy, and the other one was the piano player and lead singer of Chrissy and The Alphabeats, who has also been called Chris and Little Chrissy.

Yes, but aren't those two different Chirssy's different puppets?
