MICHAEL COLLINGS
Michael Collings (born 1990) is a father of one from Plymouth. He auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent (aired on 16 April 2011) to make a better living for him, his fiancée and their son, performing “Fast Car” and receiving a rave response from the judges, particularly for his ‘unique husky voice’. (More from Wikipedia)
The lead single “Fast Car” was a Top 10 hit in both the U.S. and the U.K.; and Tracy Chapman won a clutch of Grammies in 1989 also. Remarkably, Michael Collings, a contestant on the television series Britain’s Got Talent performed the song in April 2011; and Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” re-entered the U.K. charts and attained the same #4 peak as it had in 1988.
