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.
