Big Mike traveled and played with many professional and local groups such as The Energetics, Clarence Thompson & The New Spirits of Boston, and the Legendary Collins Singers just to name a few.

The young people would often gather at Mother Collins’ residence after church, during holiday vacations, recreational time and enjoy the musical talents of the Collins Singers during their rehearsals and jam-sessions. Michael decided after a while to announce to Billie “I Am Going to Make You My Woman one day”…(laughter)…”Oh Gwen your kid brother is so cute and funny doesn’t he know that I am older than him?” Ok…So….fast forward 50 years later here we are! We did the prom, the courting thing, the marriage thing and the baby thing and from that love was born Five Children: Spencer M. Collins IV (Cer), Delatha W. Collins (Latha) (Marva), Rovenia M. Collins (Prettybenia) Cherayna R. Collins (Daddy’s Diva), Kyriele D. Collins (Bumpy Jr.) Nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Big Mike was a devoted Husband and Father to his own 5 children as well as others. He was Grandfather, a Great-Grandfather, an Uncle, a Great Uncle, Brother, Loyal Friend and hard worker with a work-history that spans many years, though he spent 35 of them at (J. Freeman Inc.) Michael was also a Believer…he believed that all things were possible through and with God…

He leaves to mourn in his passing “His Woman” and Faithful Wife… Billie R. Collins, his Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Sister Gwendolyn Collins, sister in laws Marcia M. Moore and Sandral Ray, Brother in law Charles Moore, Daughter in Law Marva Collins, host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, a host Relatives Friends, and Loved ones…He is gone but never forgotten…
