I just heard this morning too, on a film set ( the things folkies do to earn money ).
He always seemed a larger than life character, even if short in actual height.
A star in the heavens has just found its voice. What a voice!
The name may mean nothing to most but I remember him standing next to me belting out the chorus of a song I'd started.
Glorious!
Rest in Peace.

Re: Johny Collins
One of my early influences too.
I have a voice very like his.
I wish I could sing.
