In Passing... Jerry Reed (1937-2008)

Chas Andrews
Singer, actor, and songwriter Jerry Reed passed away yesterday from complications with emphysema. He was 71 years of age. Reed was known for such hits as "When You're Hot, You're Hot," and "Eastbound and Down," the theme to "Smokey and the Bandit" in which Reed played sidekick to Burt Reynolds. He spent time acting on TV shows and other movies, and even directed a film called, "What Comes Around." He will be missed.

Thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.
