NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Jerry Reed, a singer who appeared in the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies, has died of complications from emphysema at age 71, his longtime booking agent said Tuesday.

Carrie Moore-Reed, who is no relation to the star, said Reed died early Monday morning.

Reed was a gifted guitarist who later became a songwriter, singer and actor.

As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, he had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "East Bound and Down," and "The Bird."

In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds, "Gator" "Hot Stuff" and "High-Ballin'



The article doesn't mention another of his popular ones, "She Got the Gold Mine. I Got the Shaft." I absolutely loved him. I remember seeing him in concert when I was about 5 yrs. old. "Amos Moses" and "When You're Hot, You're Hot," were two of my all time favorites.

R.I.P Jerry.

Was sad indeed. We have "played" Smokey and the Bandit here before
