Summary

Alcoholic. Epileptic. Severely Challenged in Music and Business. Despite these obstacles, Jimmy Reed became perhaps the most successful R&B/pop crossover artist of the '50s and '60s with songs like "Big Boss Man" and "Bright Lights, Big City." Influencing musicians from Elvis Presley, the Righteous Brothers, and John Hammond to Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, and the Grateful Dead, Reed's music has stood the test of time.
