August 7, 1928 – June 4, 2012
A “Platter” by any other name…
Herb Reed was the bass vocalist and a founding member of the American vocal group, The Platters. Claiming to have come up with the name, Reed joined the fledgling group in Los Angeles in 1953 and would become the last surviving original member and the only member to appear on every Platters’ recording from 1953 to 1969.
After 1969, well…it gets a little…litigious.
