The voice of singer, Dennis Collins, is one that goes straight to the heart of everyone who hears him. He has recently been called the next great voice to join the ranks of legendary male singers like Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Luther Vandross. His first solo release Every Soldier Has One Prayer has garnered rave reviews. Pop legend, Roberta Flack, gave this song five stars, likening the power of its message to that of Bob Dylans Blowing in the Wind. Paul Shaffer, Musical Director, Late Show with David Letterman says, Everything about this song is beautiful; the vocal, the music and especially the intent. A native of Detroit, Michigan, a city known for producing great singers, Dennis says he knew even as a young child, that God had a calling on his life to be a singer. Raised in a musical family, everyone played an instrument and sang. Our home was filled with all kinds of music he says proudly. From an early age, he was surrounded with the great influences of Gospel music, Motown and pop greats like Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn, Judy Garland, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, and Donny Hathaway. Being equally gifted singing Pop, Jazz and Classical, Dennis had to make a choice between the Pop and the Classical Worlds. Upon his arrival in New York City, he quickly established himself as an extremely versatile singer who could adapt to many different genres of music. It was not long before he caught the attention of one of his idols, Ms. Roberta Flack, who asked him to join her on her next World Tour as a featured vocalist performing her duets. This led to opportunities to record and perform with other great artists such as Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Luther Vandross, Bette Midler, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Whitley Phipps, George Benson, Chaka Khan, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Sting, Patti LaBelle, Sheryl Crow, Jimmy Buffet, Kathy Trocolli, The Blue Man Group, and many others. With his new single, Every Soldier Has One Prayer, Dennis has stepped from the back-ground to the fore-ground. Great anticipation abounds! Dennis says, If you add all of my accomplishments together, they still dont compare to the joy that comes from leading worship and singing songs of the unconditional love of Christ and the songs of life in general, that is my calling.
