Eli "Paperboy" Reed (born Eli Husock) is an American singer. After graduating from Brookline [Massachusetts] High School in 2002 he went on to release two independently-released albums, namely Sings Walkin' & Talkin' & Other Smash Hits! and Roll With You. Come & Get It is Reed's third album and his major-label debut.
Come And Get It! was produced by Mike Elizondo. Speaking in March 2010 to British soul writer Pete Lewis, Reed stated the album was strongly influenced musically by the late Sixties/early Seventies Chicago soul music recordings of artists like Tyrone Davis and Mel & Tim.[1]
Reed was nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2009 MOJO Awards.[2]
