 soul sides: IF YOU DON'T KNOW HER BY NOW
Collins hails from Abeline, TX which is where she first met up with JB, having sent the star a demo tape in the late '60s.
At the time, Whitney was still Brown's main divbut when she left the group (supposedly for both personal and career reasons), Collins was brought into the fold but couldn't step up as the first lady in the crew until Anderson, in 1971, also took leave of the group.
However, Collins could do more than just screech on cue - "Put It On the Line" showcases her more sultry side (is it me or does this song sound a lot like Moses Dillard's "I've Got to Find a Way").
