A country superstar with a knack
for ballads, Collin Raye was born Floyd Ellipt Wray on August 22, 1960 to a
mother who had established a career as a country music performer, occasionally
bringing her sons on stage with her to sing. Wray formed The Wray Brothers Band
with his sibling, Scott. They tried to make it throughout the 80s, but released
just a smattering of singles that barely scraped the country charts. He went
solo in the 90s, signing with Epic and settling on the stage name Collin Raye,
and began a notable run of fourteen consecutive top 10 country singles from
1991-1996 which included the chart toppers “Love, Me”, “In This Life”,
and “My Kind of Girl”. All but one of his first six albums landed in the
top 10 on the country chart. The hit singles kept coming, with an additional
streak of a half dozen top 5 country singles from 1997-1999 including the
number 1 “I Can Still Feel You”. After the disappointing performances of
the singles from 2001’s Can’t Back Down, Raye parted from Epic for
smaller independent labels. He would continue to release new albums every few
years, including Never Going Back, which hit number 40 on the country
album chart, in 2009. He published an autobiography in 2014.
