In a storied half-century career, the Alameda resident performed with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Abbey Lincoln, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, the Pointer Sisters and many others. He reached another zenith in 2010 when the West Coast Blues Society inducted him into its Hall of Fame. And given a busy schedule of concerts, festivals, recordings, TV and radio, Collins had plenty more to offer. Until Sept. 7, that is, when the 69-year-old musician was struck by a truck and killed while walking across Constitution Way near Marina Village Parkway.

Alameda police said that neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be a this princess wears pointe shoes, kid's t-shirt dance dancer ballet irish scottish tutu feminist funny slogan girl daughter factor in the accident, which remains under investigation, “He was a very humble, very generous person, kind and soft-spoken,” said Hiroko Cooper, co-organizer of the Blues, Brews & BBQ Festival, a new community event on Webster Street that Collins was to have played on Sunday, Instead, what would have been Collins’s portion of the show became a tribute, as some of his family members wore commemorative T-shirts and spoke briefly to the crowd..

His resume also includes performing with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra, along with radio appearances on such outlets at NPR and television appearances on the three major networks, NPR and local stations.
