He was 75.His wife, Annette Grady, said he died in a hospital from complications of cancer. He had experienced a variety of health problems and canceled scheduled performances in July.In his prime, in the late 1960s and the \u201970s, Mr. Reid\u2019s powerful vocal stylings were compared favorably to the likes of Rod Stewart and Bad Company\u2019s Paul Rodgers. Graham Nash, who produced Mr. Reid\u2019s 1976 album, \u201cSeed of a Memory,\u201d once described his talent as \u201cphenomenal.\u201d Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin called him \u201cprobably the best singer of that period.\u201dAfter he released his debut album, \u201cBang, Bang You\u2019re Terry Reid,\u201d in 1968, when he was just 18, Ms. Franklin said, \u201cThere are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid.\u201dImageFrom left, the drummer Keith Webb, Mr. Reid and the keyboardist Bill Bonham on the cover of Mr. Reid\u2019s first album, released in 1968.Credit...EpicMr. Reid never had a major hit song or album, although a few of his albums eventually came to be regarded as minor masterpieces \u2014 particularly \u201cRiver\u201d (1973), with its blend of blues, jazz, folk, R&B and Brazilian music. Although it climbed no higher than No. 172 on the Billboard 200, the British rock magazine Mojo later described \u201cRiver\u201d as \u201cone of the most lazily magnificent records of that or any other year.\u201dHis song \u201cWithout Expression,\u201d which he wrote at 14 and included on his first album, was later covered by John Mellencamp, REO Speedwagon and other artists. Jack White of the White Stripes recorded Mr. Reid\u2019s 1969 song \u201cRich Kid Blues\u201d in 2008 with his band the Raconteurs.How The Times decides who gets an obituary.\u00a0There is no formula, scoring system or checklist in determining the news value of a life. We investigate, research and ask around before settling on our subjects. If you know of someone who might be a candidate for a Times obituary, please suggest it here.Learn more about our process.Even so, Mr. Reid\u2019s career was too often framed by what he didn\u2019t do.His shot at rock immortality came in late 1968, when the guitar sorcerer Jimmy Page, late of the Yardbirds, was putting together his next venture, which was originally called the New Yardbirds and would evolve into Led Zeppelin.He was well aware of Mr. Reid\u2019s gift \u2014 a voice that could swing from a raspy croon to a flamethrower blues howl \u2014 since Mr. Reid had opened for the Yardbirds, and he and the band shared a manager, the intimidating ex-wrestler Peter Grant.\u201cJim called me up and said, \u2018You\u2019d really be good as the singer,\u2019\u201d Mr. Reid said in a 2016 interview with Mojo. But there were complications, starting with his contract to produce solo work for the pop impresario Mickie Most, who had minted hits for the Animals, Donovan and others.And then there were the Rolling Stones. Mr. Reid had made a handshake agreement with the guitarist Keith Richards to accompany the Stones on their 1969 tour.\u201cI said, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019d love to give it a shot,\u2019\u201d Mr. Reid recalled telling Mr. Page in a 2007 interview with The Independent of Britain. \u201c\u2018But I\u2019ve just got to pop off for a minute to do this Stones tour and I don\u2019t want to be the one to tell Keith I\u2019m not going.\u2019\u201dImageMr. Reid was burdened for life with questions about his decision not to become the lead singer of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant, who took the job instead, called Mr. Reid \u201cprobably the best singer of that period.\u201dCredit...Michael Putland\/Getty Images\u201cOh no, we\u2019ve got to do it now,\u201d Mr. Reid recalled Mr. Page telling him. The supergroup Cream, featuring Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, \u201chad broken up and everybody in London was trying to put one of those groups together, so it\u2019s a big scramble who\u2019s first.\u201dInstead, Mr. Reid suggested two members of a group called Band of Joy \u2014 the singer Robert Plant, blessed with a similarly searing voice, and the berserker drummer John Bonham.\u201cI contributed half the band,\u201d Mr. Reid later said. \u201cThat\u2019s enough on my part.\u201dTerrance James Reid was born on Nov. 13, 1949, in St. Neots, a town in Cambridgeshire, England, the only child of Walter Reid, a car salesman, and Grace (Barker) Reid. He grew up in the nearby village of Bluntisham and attended St. Ivo Academy in St. Ives.He started his first band, the Redbeats, at 13. Two years later he left school and joined Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, which got a blast of exposure opening for the Rolling Stones on their 1966 British tour.One gig, at the Royal Albert Hall, was \u201call screaming girls,\u201d Mr. Reid told Mojo. \u201cIt was scary. You couldn\u2019t hear anything, your ears were shut down.\u201dThe Jaywalkers broke up soon after, and Mr. Reid embarked on a solo career. His knack for sidestepping history continued.ImageMr. Reid in 1964, around the time he left school to join a band that would later open for the Rolling Stones.Credit...via Reid familyOn the Stones\u2019 1969 tour, Mr. Reid chose not to play the final gig \u2014 the chaotic, violence-marred Altamont Speedway Free Festival, which left one fan dead. \u201cI had a bad feeling about Altamont and said so to Keith,\u201d he later recalled.Around that time, opportunity knocked again when the guitarist Ritchie Blackmore invited him to become the lead vocalist for the heavy metal progenitors Deep Purple, replacing Rod Evans. Again Mr. Reid slammed the door, ceding the job to Ian Gillan.\u201cThey were going into a real hard-rock thing that I wasn\u2019t so into,\u201d he later told Mojo.Mr. Reid spent years tangled in litigation with Mr. Most. He eventually wriggled free and relocated to the United States, where he signed with Atlantic Records.When the label\u2019s star-making president, Ahmet Ertegun, first heard \u201cThe River,\u201d he told Mr. Reid, \u201cYou\u2019ve given me a jazz album,\u201d Mr. Reid recalled to Mojo. \u201cWhich it was, in the sense that David Crosby\u2019s \u2018If I Could Only Remember My Name\u2019 or Van Morrison\u2019s \u2018Astral Weeks\u2019 were jazz.\u201dHis solo career wound down in the 1980s, although he did session work for the likes of Jackson Browne, Don Henley and Bonnie Raitt. His comeback album, \u201cThe Driver,\u201d released in 1991, featured a star-studded cast, including Joe Walsh, Enya and Stewart Copeland, best known as the drummer with the Police. He released his final studio album, \u201cThe Other Side of the River,\u201d in 2016.Image\u201cThe Other Side of the River,\u201d released in 2016, was Mr. Reid\u2019s last album.Credit...Future Days RecordingsIn addition to his wife, Mr. Reid is survived by two daughters from an earlier relationship, Kelly and Holly Reid; and two stepdaughters, Erin Grady Barbagelata and Chelsea King.Following Mr. Reid\u2019s death, Mr. Plant, who remained a friend, paid tribute to him on social media: \u201cSuch charisma. His voice, his range \u2026 his songs capturing that carefree era \u2026 Superlungs indeed.\u201d\u201cHe catapulted me into an intense new world he chose to decline,\u201d Mr. Plant added.For his part, Mr. Reid, who was burdened for life with questions about his near miss with Led Zeppelin, was not so sure that he would have been a Plant-scale supernova in some alternative universe.\u201cWho\u2019s to say what would have happened if Jim and me had got a band?\u201d he said in an interview with The Independent. \u201cIt might have been a bloody failure.\u201dAlex Williams is a Times reporter on the Obituaries desk.A version of this article appears in print on Aug. 11, 2025, Section B, Page 6 of the New York edition with the headline: Terry Reid, 75, Is Dead; Respected Rock Singer Known as \u2018Superlungs\u2019.
