Tom Collins

Maker Tom Collins’ credits include strikes by Barbara Mandrell (“Midnight Angel,” “Married however, not to one another,” her addresses of Shirley Brown’s “Female to Female” and Luther Ingram’s “(If Loving You Is Wrong) We Don’t Desire to be Ideal,” and “Operator”), Ronnie Milsap, nation designer Sylvia (never to end up being confused with the sam- named vocalist of “Cushion Talk” popularity), Steve Wariner, and Tom T. Hall. Created in Lenoir Town, TN, Collins, who received a Bachelor of Technology in psychology, politics technology, and zoology, offered into his enthusiasm for music and shifted to Nashville to go after a music profession. His first careers were with vocalist Charley Pride along with a music publisher. Within the middle-’80s, he began his personal music publishing business and immediately after earned a BMI Honor for “No one,” popular for nation singer Sylvia. Finding vocalist Ronnie Milsap, Collins created a steady blast of nation strikes, including those by Barbara Mandrell. In 1991, Collins bought vocalist/songwriter Tom T. Hall’s Hallnote Music and in the middle-’90s, he began an archive label, Gotee Information, with people of modern pop-gospel group DC Chat.
