He was a famous chemist/inventor who created a method of thinning aluminum into paper like rolls. You can find his product in supermarkets everywhere. Sadly, he was foiled by Frank Saran who invented the same process but with clear plastic. Burt never earned a penny, so he turned to music in the early 80's where a new style of music was becoming popular in the streets of NYC. His debut album "Reynold's Rap" went to the top of the charts and stayed there for years. Check out some tracks on YouTube if you get a chance. :)
