Herbert Reed was an American musician, vocalist, and founding/naming member of The Platters, known for songs such as "Only You" and "The Great Pretender". Reed was the last surviving original member of the group, which he co-founded with Joe Jefferson, Alex Hodge, and Cornell Gunter. Reed is credited with creating The Platters' name. Reed thought of the group's name after noticing that DJs in the 1950s called their records "platters". Reed was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990
