Dean Reed A&S '60
Professional Musician and Actor

University of Colorado at Boulder, Notable Alumni

Heart-throb singer Dean Reed played to sold-out concerts in 32 countries during the 1960s and 1970s, despite the fact that most Americans had never heard of him. By 1962 Reed surpassed Elvis Presley in the South American Hit Parade polls. Moved by the poverty of South America and impressed by the Soviet system, the pacifist "Red Elvis" became a Marxist and settled in the Eastern Bloc. Reed died under mysterious circumstances in East Germany in 1986.
