Larry Collins

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, [a=Joe Maphis]. He was an accomplished guitarist by age 10, and in the late 1950s, he and his older sister [a=Lorrie Collins] formed the rockabilly duo [a=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."
