Grand Ole Opry - Live - (Part 2) : Larry and Lorrie Collins [ Collins Kids ]

The Collins Kids
When Larry and Lorrie Collins of the Collins Kids stepped onstage at Hemsby-On-Thames in May 1993 before some three thousand raving British rockabilly fans, the brother-sister duo were returning to rock and roll for the first time since they were quite literally children. But the legend of the Collins Kids only grew in their absence. Their '50's recordings were reissued with a startling regularity, culminated by a 1991 Bear Family boxed set from Germany, "Hop Skip & Jump." Bootleg tapes of their TV appearances circulated hotly on the video underground.

As teenagers, the two siblings appeared regularly on "Town Hall Party," a weekly Los Angeles television show hosted by country star Tex Ritter, where the beautiful brunette Lorrie belted out the rock and roll with the authority and audacity of someone twice her age and her exposed nerve younger brother twanged and trilled the double-neck Mosrite guitar with a ferocity equally belying his own age.
