Dean Reed
Поет Дин Рид - Dean Reed Sings

LP, Melodija 1970

Dean Cyril Reed (1938-1986), American actor, singer and songwriter,
director, and social activist, lived a great part of his life in South America
and then in East Germany. Nicknamed the Red Elvis, Reed was the
best-selling Western performer in the Socialist countries, with his songs traditionally were topping the local charts, and millions of his records were
sold in the Socialist bloc and elsewhere mostly under the Melodiya label.
He never renounced his U.S. citizenship and always claimed his life-long faithfulness to the United States albeit often denouncing the U.S.
government, and was seen by the Western media as a C
ommunist propaganda beacon. (Wiki)
