Terry Reid, singer who turned down Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, dies at 75

Reid, born in Cambridgeshire, England, had a uniquely resonant and soulful voice with an enormous range that earned him the nickname "Superlungs." He was a coveted figure among the arena-rock titans of the era - even vocal powerhouse Aretha Franklin once claimed in 1968 that "There are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid." Reid first found local success in the teen rock group the Redbeats, and soon joined the band Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers.

Terry Reid's enthusiasm and encouragement were incredible back then. Still teenagers, we crashed each other's gigs and crucified 'Season of the Witch' time and time again. So much fun. So on it. He was all of everything. Such charisma.
