Erich Collin (Standing at right, with the Comedian Harmonists, Breslau, 1930)

Biography

German singer, the second tenor with the Comedian Harmonists, an internationally famous, all-male German close harmony ensemble that performed between 1928 and 1934 as one of the most successful musical groups in Europe before World War II. The group consisted of Harry Frommermann (tenor buffo), Asparuh "Ari" Leschnikoff (first tenor), Erich Collin (second tenor), Roman Cycowski (baritone), Robert Biberti (bass), and Erwin Bootz (pianist).

The hallmark of the Comedian Harmonists was its members' ability to blend their voices together so that the individual singers could appear and disappear back into the vocal texture. Its repertoire was wide, ranging from the folk and classical songs arranged by Frommermann to appealing and witty popular songs of the day by writers such as Peter Igelhoff, Werner Richard Heymann and Paul Abraham.

Erich Collin died of heart failure on 28 April 1961 in Los Angeles, aged 61, during an appendectomy. In Joseph Vilsmaier's 1997 film Comedian Harmonists Collin was played by Heinrich Schafmeister.
