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.
