Alonzo Reid by Andy Peloquin
Called "Mr. Quietstorm of Southern Soul", Alonzo Reid is a name that will soon become a household name among lovers of that good ol' soul music.
The smooth, dulcet tones of Alonzo Reid's tenor are a pleasure to the ears, and his music is dynamic and up‐tempo. He is considered one of the top sexist soul singers of this day and age, and his songs like "Wanna Make Love 2 U" and "Hooked On Your Love" slide gently into your ears as the soulful singer croons his way into your heart! Born and raised in the Alabama city of Montgomery, he started his musical education on the drums at the age of 6. Inspired to play by his mother, the young Alonzo Reid was taught music by Gospel greats like Pittsburgh's The Swan Silvertones and the Brooklyn All‐Stars. He quickly found his place in the world of music, playing in Montgomery and touring around the country with Chicago's Pilgrim Jubilees. He played with Gospel greats like Dorothy Northwood, Aretha Franklin, and The Soul Stirrers, but rhythm and blues had captured his heart by the end of the 90s. He was soon drumming for Marvin Sease, and has played with Mel Waiters and Bobby Womack for years. Now, Reid is stepping out into his own limelight, launching his first album in 2011 ‐‐ titled "Undercover Freak". Two of his hit singles are circulating around the world, and they are making him a man to listen to! The soulful artist has opened for The Manhattans, Ray Goodman & Brown, Bobby Womack, and Gladys Knight, and his voice has the ladies swooning!
