He toured extensively throughout the United States, Australia and Europe, and made three trips to Vietnam (1967, 68, 69) to entertain troops. Reed began his career in Australia at the Two Eyes Club where he performed with fellow blues artists Billy Thorpe, Phil Manning, Doug Parkinson and Jeff St John. He became well known for his deep soulful style and his generosity, helping many musicians over the years in the style of great mentors such as Miles Davis. In 1996, he was personally selected by Michael Jackson for a private welcoming concert during his History tour. His last recording titled 'Straight from the heart' (2003) won several awards including three 'Sunnie' awards for Best Male Vocalist, Best Blues Album and Best Male Vocalist at the Gold Coast International Jazz and Blues Festival. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wiley Reed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
