Edwyn Collins

Edwyn Collins (born 23 August 1959) is a celebrated Scottish musician, producer, and singer-songwriter, best known as the frontman of the 1980s indie-pop band Orange Juice and for his 1994 solo hit "A Girl Like You". After starting his career in post-punk with Orange Juice, he pursued a solo career, producing his own work and collaborating with artists like The Cribs.
