Dean Reed - The late Dean Reed was one of the biggest pop stars to ever hit the Soviet Union. His brother Dale R. Reed reports he was planning to return to Colorado to live when his body was found floating in an East German lake as a result of what the Stasi (an infamous East German police authority) termed an "unfortunate accident." Dale also mentioned that Dean was a big star in South America before he started performing in the USSR. Correspondent Eric Rosenburg reports that Dean hails from Wheatridge. Another correspondent Oskar Back has passed along info that Dean "hails from Lakewood, according to biographer Jennifer Dunbar-Dorn" Brother Dale did not elaborate on Dean's suburb of origin although Westword reported many years ago that Dean is from Colorado. Dale reports Dean was born September 22, 1938. Their mother Ruth Anna Brown of Boulder, died on September 3, 2000.
