The Collins Kids, "Great Balls of Fire" (Western Ranch Party, 1958) 

Both of Lorrie and Larry Collins are in heaven together and I miss them so much and today I'm huge fan of theirs and they were wonderful to listen to

Those outfits and boots of that era were so gorgeous.....so were the guitars.

RIP Lorrie (2018) - Larry (2024)

I never seen a kids like this Collins kids are, they are so energetic and talented, , , thanks for sharing this show/views,,

When god is vv happy, he creates such artists.

I've never found this song to be enjoyable until this version. Love it.

She was beautiful I don't blame Ricky Nelson for missing her

that kids energy is infectious-----the singers's not too bad either

These kids were amazing.

Wow , the boy’s performance was so excellent .

you'll notice they were plugged in, completely live, larry dancing all over his guitar cord.

Lorrie was Ricky Nelson's first love and the two wanted to marry. The collective parents thought the teens too young and that matrimony would kill Ricky's teen idol career. Lorrie did run off and marry her manager, a move that deeply hurt Ricky. I read that he said later in life Lorrie was his true love.

К сожалению их нет уже в живых, но я остаюсь поклонником, постоянно пересматриваю с удовольствием!!!!!

They're back together again, still out there doing Rockabilly shows.

There's only one guy who could perform that song and sadly he ain't here any more 😢

Larry is only a few years older than I am and I can remember sitting in front of our TV, with my parents , watching the Collins Kids!...He was all over the place...nobody knew anything about ADD, or ADHD, in those days..Our parents just let us play outside..OR, gave us guitars and said ..Have fun!..Just sayin'!

What a NATURAL"!! Great

Formidable duo et quel guitariste 👍

Pretty darn cute!

Larry's dancing around wasn't just an act. Guitar came naturally to him and from the first day he got a guitar and learned his first chords that's just how he expressed himself when he played. Just the outcome of a hyperactive kid and the joy of music!

the kid certainly is affectionate to his sister. she eloped with her manager at 16. the kid was so wired he overpowered anyone with him on stage no matter how good the other person was.

I love his outfit

Tout simplement extraordinaire !!!!!!

Too much love drives a gal insane!

This sure is different. Puts a new perspective on the song. Yep.

Larry Collins would have laughed in the face of the drug Ritalin ..YOU have no power here! lol. The Collins kids were amazing.

Wow!

Were are they to day.??? Any family members 🙏💐🎸🎸Children 🚸 grandchildren still entertaining???? 🎶🎺🎻🎼🎤🎷🥁🎹🎵🤗

Fab......awesome sound.

Hilarious and creepy at the same time!!

What we watch is two talented entertainers! But unfortunately one overshadows the other which at most time's can be too overwhelming! A Lot of comments say why weren't they bigger than they were , my opinion is for what l just said 🙏❤️🙏

Great looking pants

genial!

I'm betting he drank a large Dr Pepper before the show. Such talent and so entertaining.

God damn.

Chuck Berry was a student of Larry. And Lorrie is a dream girl.

I have to admit, I can't lie, but-it perturbs me that they did a lot of cover versions. With that said, they are talented, and gifted. I just wished that their musical output had been more original. Now Elvis, well-THAT'S ELVIS. He's different. I am a fan of his, and discovered him first, therefore he's protected by a "grandfather clause". Lol.

👏

I guarantee there were a ga-jillion teen age boys with her picture underneath their mattresses.

Still looking for a video of them to see if he ever hits her with the guitar

Maravilha

Larry has been watching Chuck Berry......

so great it almost seems fake ! lol this compared to beiber!?

What is that album called that was drawn with that hot girl in front

BLACK SABBATH. OZZY FIRST BAND. ALMOST YELLED IT WHEN YOU WERE DOWN THE STREET. I'ma dope. Have an awesome PT

Where are they today?

Host?

ok

😂

Kids couldn't do that today. They would put them on some kind of drug and send them to a psychiatrist.

He kissed his sister.

Apart from the slightly creepy thing him kissing his sister that way (yeah, I know I'm making too much of it - it's just a show), this is damn good.

There was another false statement that the collins kids taught chuck Berry to play guitar. Honestly where do you all get your information from. I know you like to make things up because it makes you feel like you know something when you really know nothing. Now the facts. Ira Harris chucks friend showed him some technics on guitar in 1952 that would become chucks style

Almost as good as the Tiny Tim version

Seriously, does the kid EVER touch the the top neck?😂 Why is he dragging that double neck when I NEVER SEE HIM PLAY THE ELECTRIC ACOUSTIC TOP HALF OF GUITAR.😂

I didn't know they used amphetamine back in the 50's

Very talented duo and eager to give a good show but Larry Collins runs and jumps around way to much and he is a distraction because everyone else even Lorrie pretty much stand still and sing.

Need to slow down the tempo, and add more sound to the guitar. Sounds like bluegrass. She pretty. She dumped Ricky Nelson.

Yes plays guitar better than you thats right

Er...well! CK always sounds and looks as hillbilly kids on speed. Most of their own tunes are alright, but the covers...

Chuck Berry doesn’t have anything on this kid

That boy is really, really irritating to watch.

100% Annoying!

While I will say; That's a great act. But I question it. Is that kid really playing the guitar ? I ask because it's a two neck guitar. That I know of very few people know how to play a two neck guitar. I'm gonna say, it takes a lot of practice to play that good. He's too young to possible be that good on a two neck guitar. That's why I question. Hey I could be wrong, but I'm sure I'm right. The girl, she is gorgeous. I'll take her home with me, I'll keep her.

Makes my ears bleed..

Sorta CREEPY the way he's ALWAYS trying to kiss his sister-UGH...

Всем привет из Российского Крыма! Музыка, игра этого парня на высшем уровне.

That kid is manic…he never stops moving, not sure he can…lol. They’re probably in their 80’s now.

This one was creepy

А как сложилась дальше этих удивительных людей

Наверно они стали русофобоми.
