Manuel Soto is noticing more students using A.I. and not relying “on their inner voice.”
His comeback album, “The Driver,” released in 1991, featured a star-studded cast, including Joe Walsh, Enya and Stewart Copeland, best known as the drummer with the Police.
He released his final studio album, “The Other Side of the River,” in 2016.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Reid is survived by two daughters from an earlier relationship, Kelly and Holly Reid; and two stepdaughters, Erin Grady Barbagelata and Chelsea King.
“He catapulted me into an intense new world he chose to decline,” Mr. Plant added.
For his part, Mr. Reid, who was burdened for life with questions about his near miss with Led Zeppelin, was not so sure that he would have been a Plant-scale supernova in some alternative universe.
“Who’s to say what would have happened if Jim and me had got a band?” he said in an interview with The Independent.

“I contributed half the band,” Mr. Reid later said.
He started his first band, the Redbeats, at 13.
Two years later he left school and joined Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, which got a blast of exposure opening for the Rolling Stones on their 1966 British tour.
When the label’s star-making president, Ahmet Ertegun, first heard “The River,” he told Mr. Reid, “You’ve given me a jazz album,” Mr. Reid recalled to Mojo.
His solo career wound down in the 1980s, although he did session work for the likes of Jackson Browne, Don Henley and Bonnie Raitt.
“Jim called me up and said, ‘You’d really be good as the singer,’” Mr. Reid said in a 2016 interview with Mojo.
His shot at rock immortality came in late 1968, when the guitar sorcerer Jimmy Page, late of the Yardbirds, was putting together his next venture, which was originally called the New Yardbirds and would evolve into Led Zeppelin.
Mr. Reid had made a handshake agreement with the guitarist Keith Richards to accompany the Stones on their 1969 tour.
“I said, ‘Yeah, I’d love to give it a shot,’” Mr. Reid recalled telling Mr. Page in a 2007 interview with The Independent of Britain.
In his prime, in the late 1960s and the ’70s, Mr. Reid’s powerful vocal stylings were compared favorably to the likes of Rod Stewart and Bad Company’s Paul Rodgers.
After he released his debut album, “Bang, Bang You’re Terry Reid,” in 1968, when he was just 18, Ms. Franklin said, “There are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid.”
Mr. Reid never had a major hit song or album, although a few of his albums eventually came to be regarded as minor masterpieces — particularly “River” (1973), with its blend of blues, jazz, folk, R&B and Brazilian music.
