NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Jerry Reed, a singer who became a good ol' boy actor in car chase movies like "Smokey and the Bandit," has died of complications from emphysema at 71.
His longtime booking agent, Carrie Moore-Reed, no relation to the star, said Reed died early Monday.
"He's one of the greatest entertainers in the world. That's the way I feel about him," Moore-Reed said.
Reed was a gifted guitarist who later became a songwriter, singer and actor.

Wonder if he's going to "Smell The Flowers" at the funeral? Anyway, let's just hope that he doesn't have to tell somebody "When You're Hot You're Hot". But then again, he might be playing at "The Uptown Poker Club"...with both "Amos (and) Moses"...
