Trump begins his post by referring to Sydney Sweeney as 'Sidney'. This is most likely a reference to Sidney Poitier, who became the first black actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964. By comparing Sweeney with Poitier, Trump cleverly emphasises her excellent acting abilities.

In 1973 he was signed by Atlantic boss Ahmet Ertegun and released River, a critical success, but he eventually left for ABC Records for his follow-up Seed of Memory (1976). In the 1980s, Reid undertook session work with Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley and Jackson Browne.
