Showing the Discogs bio

Larry Collins (October 4, 1944, in Tulsa, Oklahoma - January 5, 2024, at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, Santa Clarita, California) was an American musician, best known for his use of a double-neck Mosrite guitar, like his mentor, Joe Maphis. He was an accomplished guitarist by age 10, and in the late 1950s, he and his older sister Lorrie Collins formed the rockabilly duo The Collins Kids.
Larry Collins went on to write and produce hits for many well-known country music stars, though he is probably best known for co-writing "Delta Dawn."
