The Collins KidsThe Collins Kids were a juvenile rockabilly duo, featuring brother Larry Collins (born October 4, 1944 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and sister Lorrie Collins (born May 7, 1942 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Their hits, such as "Hop, Skip and Jump", "Beetle Bug Bop" and "Hoy Hoy", were geared towards kids, but their infectuous singing and playing crossed over generations. Larry, a lightning fingered guitar whiz at the age of 10, was known for playing a double-neck Mosrite guitar like his mentor Joe Maphis. They were regular performers on Tex Ritter's Town Hall Party television show. Larry Collins went on to produce many country hits and wrote the song "Delta Dawn". Lorrie was the first girlfriend of teen idol Ricky Nelson. The Collins Kids have reunited for performances beginning in the 90s and continue to play to huge crowds on the rockabilly revival cicuit.
