Collins and Harlan produced many number one hits with recordings of minstrel songs such as "My Gal Irene," "I Know Dat I'll be Happy Til I Die," "Who Do You Love," and "Down Among the Sugarcane.". Their song "That Funny Jas Band from Dixieland," recorded November 8 of 1916, is among first recorded uses of the word "Jas," which eventually evolved from "jas," to "jass," to the current spelling "jazz.".
