Brian Collins

voc,
Singer of Country, World, Pop and Folk

A country singer who enjoyed a modest run of hits in the '70s, Brian Collins was born in Baltimore, Maryland on October 19, 1950. Got his big break when Dolly Parton saw him performing in Texas and urged him to take a shot at a career in Nashville. After cutting a handful of sides for Mega Records that achieved minor success, Collins landed a deal with Dot Records. In 1973, his recording of "I Wish (You Had Stayed)" rose to number 24 on the Country Singles charts. In 1978, he left Dot for RCA, where he cut three singles. In 1982 and 1983, he released three singles for the independent Primero label, two of which scratched the lower reaches of the country charts. Little was heard from him from the mid-'80s onward, but in 2010, he returned with a six-song EP, 6 BC, and he continues to make live appearances in Texas.
