Lorrie Collins (The Collins Kids) -- Mercy

The Collins Kids were an American rockabilly duo featuring Lorrie Collins and her younger brother Larry Collins. Their hits in the 1950s as youngsters, such as “Hop, Skip and Jump“, “Beetle Bug Bop“ and “Hoy Hoy“, were geared towards children, but their infectious singing and playing crossed over generations. Larry, a lightning-fingered guitar whiz at age ten, was known for playing a double-neck Mosrite guitar. The Collins Kids became regular performers on Town Hall Party in 1954 and on the syndicated for television version of the show, Tex Ritter’s Ranch Party, which ran from 1957 to 1959.
