1959 tauchte bei den Paragons aus Brooklyn, New York (links klicken), ein Tommy Collins auf, aber nur ein einziges mal und er war kein Mitglied dieser Formation. Er war schwarz, so wie die Paragons, und tauchte in den späten Sechzigerjahren kurzzeitig auf TNT in Englewood, New Jersey, neuerlich, aber diesmal solistisch als Soul-Sänger auf.
