Well, I read they performed together somewhere in 2008. This video clip was from a TV show called Town Hall Party, probably aired around 1958. "This boy" was born the same year as Rudy Giuliani, Gary Busey, Jimmy Page and Diana Ross...just to put it into perspective. I recently discovered The Collins Kids myself (while searching for 1950's Johnny Cash performances), and I'm AMAZED that I had never heard of them!!

Regarding the comment about Lorrie having trouble hiding being annoyed at her little brother, watching the video carefully seems to indicate the opposite to me. Lorrie seems to show a bit of "Big Sister" pride in Larry actually. They really do bounce off each other very well and make a great act together.

No, he didn’t become a corporate puppet-instead, for one so incredibly talented (unfortunately whose ADD-like stage antics detracted from his beautiful sister) he peaked at age 14, and with the weird, mis-management of old crow-Mitch Miller, then headed downwards. He wrote a few songs before an anti-climactic career-death playing small clubs and being virtually unknown until a collector located these old videos and posted them on KZitem. (BTW, Presley deserves some respect).
