I loved this guy when I was a kid.  He was funny and had some great songs in the 70's and 80's.

I did not click on the you tube link - is that a video of the tobacco company executives strapping him into a chair and forcing him to smoke cigarettes?

Hardly.... it was Jerry and Chet Atkins doing some pretty impressive picking. 

RIP, Jerry.

he will be missed, PIP Jerry

That is sad indeed. He was a great guitar player as well as a great showman. I loved his laugh.

[pettyfan43]

Sad to hear, I saw him in concert with Waylon YEARS ago. FANTASTIC show!

[mikepmcs]

NOOOOO!!  This just ruined my night.

Damnit!

Man, he could pick those strings and I really enjoyed listening to him sing.

I guess I'll have to do a JR tribute this weekends party.

One of my favorites of his(as well as most of us I'm sure)  But this one has a DOH twist to it.

RIP, Snowman.

I guess he's now Eastbound & Down, eh?

Seriously, I always likes him better than Bandit.  Expecially after he got beat up by the biker gang and ran over their motorcycles in his semi!~

Via con dios, Snowman.

Well that sucks, I always liked him.

[daytonalo]

WHAT A GUY !!! HE WILL BE MISSED !!! GOD DAMN CIGARETTE COMPANY'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike DC]

Sucks. 

He had one of those voices . . . it just resonates right.  It's got character and you know it the first time you hear it.



I've always thought Jerry Reed should have been the replacement for Waylon Jennings as the DOH voiceover.  It would beat all the imitation-Waylons that DOH has used since the 1990s.

I'll always remember him on Scooby Doo sining pretty Mary sunshine. and The snowman.

RIP, Jerry 

His singing in Smokey and the Bandit made the movie IMO.

[Ghoste]

That's sad, I'm lucky I had the chance to see him live not so many years ago.   RIP Jerry.
