Cies,
Count me in as a fan of Ms. Lula Collins. Thanks for throwing a spotlight on this wonderful and all too neglected gospel artist. Keep up the good work!

I remember the early 80's. I was a child that loved to hear that Lula Collins was coming to town. My mother, sisters and brothers of Helena Arkansas enjoyed the wonderful sounds of Lula Collins and the Collins Singers

Growing up in Helena, Arkansas, I loved to hear the joyful sounds of Lula Collins. My family was also very fund of her singing. I can remember when she would stop by my moms home and share the ups and downs of gospel music.
