Before accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, Reggie and his 7 piece band worked professionally with such groups as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Drifters, and the Platters. He also performed at the Las Vegas Hilton with Bill Cosby, Don Rickles, and comedian Redd Foxx of Sanford-N-Son backed by the Joe Gerceo’s 18 piece orchestra. (Elvis Presley’s band director at the Las Vegas Hilton.) At Lake Tahoe he worked with Dick Clark’s Rock-N-Roll Revival which featured the likes of Fats Domino, Chubby Checker, Rick Nelson, the Platters, and many others. He was employed by the Walt Disney Corporation for 10 years in Florida and California. One of his largest crowds was 80,000 in Tokyo, Japan. Then in the late ‘70’s Reggie Saddler was introduced to Jesus Christ while visiting Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Las Angeles, California where Dr. E.V. Hill was pastor. “Things Changed” and Reggie left Rock-N-Roll and joined Jesus.
