L.A. Reid is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed producers of his generation.
Popular producer-songwriter L.A. Reid (The X Factor, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Reid, a cultural icon
Born Antonio M. Reid in Cincinnati on June 7, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Reid's not just a great producer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little L.A. hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for L.A. Reid as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.
Happy Birthday, L.A., you're the best!
