Neil Reid (born 1959) is a Scottish former child singing star, winner of ITV's Opportunity Knocks, and the youngest person to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.
[2] Reid won Opportunity Knocks on 13 December 1971 singing his version of "Mother of Mine",[3] which, when released commercially by Decca Records shortly afterwards, went to number two on the UK Singles Chart following a performance on Top of the Pops.
Two years after winning Opportunity Knocks, Reid's voice broke and as a result he gave up professional singing.
Reid's 1974 single (his last recording), "Hazel Eyes", was released in South Africa to coincide with the tour.
[citation needed] After leaving show business, Reid became an independent financial adviser and a management consultant.
