Collin Raye has had five Platinum albums, 25 Top Ten hits, 15 No. 1 smashes and 12 chart-topping videos. Many of his ballad hits include 'Love Me,' 'One Boy, One Girl,' 'In This Life,' 'Little Rock,' 'I Can Still Feel You,' and Jim Brickman's 'The Gift.'

Collin shot to fame with 'Love, Me' in 1991. Listeners were so touched that they used its lyrics at funerals and memorial services. That set the cornerstone for a career built on meaningful songs. 'Little Rock' was an anthem for the recovery community. 'Not That Different' pleaded for tolerance. 'In This Life' became a wedding favorite. He won awards for the child-advocacy video 'I Think About You.'

Five times nominated as country music's Male Vocalist of the Year, his single 'Love Me' garnered an ACM Award for 'Song Of The Year' in 1992. Collin is back, with a new album under his belt and more to come in 2007!
