Jerry Reed I believe will always be remembered as the Snowman by anyone who ever saw Smokey and the Bandit. That could be the only movie I've ever seen where every actor/actress fell into place in their respective roles and just worked well together. I imagine it was a pleasure to work alongside Mr Reed.
Fun Fact.... Jerry Reed had appeared in the episode "The Phantom Of The Country Music Hall" on The New Scooby-Doo Movies. He sung a song called "Pretty Mary Sunlight" in this episode. I also enjoyed seeing him in the movie "The Waterboy" starring Adam Sandler. Thank you for sharing his story! He was a great musician! 🎶
Thanks for this video. I also ant to say thank you for the respect that you show the artist, their family ad if another funeral/burial is occurring that you respect their feelings as well.
Great stuff. One of my favorite people. Dad and me use to fish in Mississippi when I was a kid and have Jerry Reed Bill Dance fish’s contests and I’d be Jerry Reed.Jerry Reed always won..
I spent the day with Jerry, at Oxford orphanage in NC. He came and spent the day singing for the fund raising. Sit and listen to him tell stories about his life, he wasn't a fine man.
I just want to say that I'm glad Tammy Wynette is no longer hidden away on the property of her last husband. Now her daughters can visit her anytime they wish.
Thanks for this video!! I love Jerry Reed, music and acting!! He'll always be the Snowman to me! 😊 Thanks for letting me know about that Bill Dance fishing episode! I don't remember seeing that. It sure was hilarious! I'm new to your channel, so once again, thank you!!🙂👍
Lynn Anderson is right across from Tammy Wynette. There's also the beautiful Lynn Anderson Rose Garden the cemetery installed close to the main office on the property. It has a beautiful bronzed plaque and over 250 rose bushes of the "Lynn Anderson Rose."
On that record for Soliders joy. Is the name Jimmy Driftwood. He has a theater/dance hall in Mountain View Arkansas in his name. That's like 40 miles from me.
My late Pa (grandpa on moms side) looked like Jerry Reed for quite a while, I wish i got a photo of him looking identical to the Snowman. My Pa was a trucker so it was another thing he had in common with Jerry (from the movie). Pa died last yr. RIP Pa and Snowman. Elvis had Jerry Reed in the studio when he cut Jerrys version of Guitar Man.
Jerry Reed also had his own TV show it was short lived appeared only in 1972 it was called When You're Hot You're Hot Hour he also made regular appearances on Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour he was one of my favorite singers and actors
I just looked at what your other videos are about, and I sure have a lot of catching up to do! I love your content!!🙂🤝 Sorry, I made two comments, but I'm happy to join your channel!!😀
Hi 🎸 🎸 guitar man thank 🙏 sir hero to me since the 70s 🎶🎵 music and film TV bless him family and Burt hero to forever cast of smokey and the bandit may they rest in peace Jackie mike etc 😢😢😢❤❤❤
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Yeah, I refer to him as “Snow Man” as well. I’ve enjoyed hearing him sing or seeing him act! He had such talent! Thanks for the tour & info about Jerry Reed. He was one of the few actors that I really wanted to meet, but never have been able to. I’ve played some of his songs for my boys over the years, so they are quite familiar with him as well. Lord Mr Ford…was about the 1st song of his I heard of…on 8 track!! Huh, what was that?! Yep, 8 track. He always came across to me as being quite friendly & down to earth. I bet I would’ve enjoyed his friendship. Not sure what others thought on that one. I understand about being respectful at a cemetery, but you don’t need to dress up to go to any of them, in my opinion. Blessings my friend. 🤩🥰✌️
I have 3 generations buried in this cemetary..My father bought 8 plots at 50 bucks a piece when it first opened...I never knew these famous people are also resting their...I will visit them when I visit my kin folks next time..
I know Jerry Reed from Harry Gant that drove the 33 Skoal bandit racing by Burt Reynolds met Jerry and Burt Reynolds at Harry Gant steakhouse in north Carolina
Love Jerry Reed from watching him from HeeHaw Scooby Doo Smokey and the Bandit Waterboy he truly madly deeply missed and loved RIP Jerry ❤❤❤ he had a unforgettable voice and laugh
You missed what was one of my favorite Jerry Reed roles, that of Jack, the hired assassin who runs afoul of the combined ineptitude of Walter Matthau and Robin Williams in "The Survivors".
We had a golf tournament in Dayton Ohio called the bogey busters, and Jerry Reed got to golf in it one year. And we also had a gala with it And he sang in it Well, I met him on the golf course, and he was drunker than a skunk. where I met I met him between holes were they got to eat. It and he told the cook he would like his hamburger cooked. Well done because the other one he had was only off the cow 10 minutes. And I told him I like my hamburger well done too and we talked for about 10 minutes. I remember this and I also got his autograph. Hot stuff. The movie did not have Burt Reynolds in it. It had Dom Delouise as his partner. That was one of my favorite movies of his.
I watched your video on Dick Trickle, so naturaly this popped up. I would almost put Jerry Reed in the same category as Glen Campbell, in the fact that they are famous for one or two things, but have so much talent beyond that. If I was making a Mount Rushmore of country guitar players; Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed.
You forgot about the end of Stroker Ace where they were showing the bloopers. Reed makes an unexpected appearance during Burt Reynolds shoot as a chicken...lol
Man, great video and great man to do a video on. LOVED me some Jerry Reed aka Snowman. Loved his singing, songs, playing and acting. Him and Reynolds were gold on the big screen. Keep up the great work.
There are actually 7 or 8 smokey and the bandits but the ones past part 3 don't have any original stars in them seems like it is called the pursuit pack ???
Jerry Reed was a good man, but his kindness only went so far. If you pissed Jerry off he didn't care who you were he was a man and not a you know what.
My mother knew him they went to high school at O' keefe together in Atlanta we bumped in to him when I was a kid at the varsity in Atlanta my mom said when he wouldn't show up in class she would have to go find him and he would be somewhere playing his guitar they knew back then he was talented
Jerry had a ton of talent, humor, & a great guitar 🎸 picker, actor ,Chet found Jerry ,he knew Jerry was on his way to greatness, I’ve been a fan since 69 and miss him greatly. I was so happy when Jerry found Jesus and made him a part of his life🙏🏻,God Bless you sir, thank you for sharing this vid.👋😎🙏🏻🎸
I love Jerry Reed! He had such a great laugh, and an awesome sense of humor! Such a talented man! Thanks for taking us along to pay respects to him! Hope you have a great week and God bless!
Jerry Reed , was a hit with me by his music only !!! 1970 's , the movie : Smokey & bandits was great too !!! He out weighed Bert, in popularity, hands down !!! 👍👍👍
Jerry Reed is one of the Best guitar pickers there ever was i have Reeds in my family i am not a Reed but he is a cousin of mine and i am proud to have him as a cousin .... God bless you Jerry and keep picken tunes for God and the choir God bless Snow Man !!! I'm a Trucker and i'm going to say East Bound and Down your loaded up and still Trucking in Heaven !!!
Jerry tells a story about meeting elvis that's hilarious. They were in the studio to record guitar Man and Jerry said I kept staring at him. Because, you know, hes the best looking Dude I've ever seen. Well, this was making Elvis uncomfortable., Jerry apologized saying I'm sorry man, but I kind of wish I was a girl right now!😂
Jerry was just plain good people, thankyou for taking us along. RIP snowman. East bound and down.

Enjoyed your video on Jerry Reed. I had opportunity of working with him on a film in the mid 1980s. It was a big thrill to meet him.
Jerry Reed and Roy Clark, 2 of the most under-rated guitar player in america.
I Love Jerry In All The Smokey And The Bandit Movies And I Love His Music
I love the snowman
The snow man? No Jerry was one hell of an entertainer and an amazing musician! Rip sir and thanks!
I got to see Jerry Reed in concert at Bush Gardens in Williamsburg Virginia in the early 80's. He was awesome. My Mom was madly in love with him 😊
All the good ones are gone now. Thank you for endoring the heat.
Thanks for watching!
Love these videos you do all are awesome and you do a fantastic job and I loved watching Jerry Reed in smokey and the bandit and enjoyed his songs

R.I.P. Jerry Reed. I was a big fan of his.
One hell of a guitar picker. RIP Jerry
He was a really good guitarist.
Thanks for this video. I also ant to say thank you for the respect that you show the artist, their family ad if another funeral/burial is occurring that you respect their feelings as well.

Thank you for the tour
He was one of the best. Another Great video. Looking Forward to the next one.
I like Jerry Reed in Smokey and the Bandit Back then it was lots of cbs radio and I was one of them They had a good cast when they make the movie
I spent the day with Jerry, at Oxford orphanage in NC. He came and spent the day singing for the fund raising. Sit and listen to him tell stories about his life, he wasn't a fine man.
I guess Bill Dance learned not to make his guests mad. He should have let Jerry keep it. I loved Jerry!!!
I just want to say that I'm glad Tammy Wynette is no longer hidden away on the property of her last husband. Now her daughters can visit her anytime they wish.
He was a talented man and the movies he did with Burt Reynolds they was unbelievable
Thanks for this video!! I love Jerry Reed, music and acting!! He'll always be the Snowman to me! 😊 Thanks for letting me know about that Bill Dance fishing episode! I don't remember seeing that. It sure was hilarious! I'm new to your channel, so once again, thank you!!🙂👍

"You got the #1 Snowman coming at ya!". Maybe some better, but few equals.
Nicely done video. Now go watch GATOR. Burt and Jerry filmed in Savannah Ga when I was about 11 years old. Watch Jerry play a HEAVY.
You forgot about the end of Stroker Ace where they were showing the bloopers. Reed makes an unexpected appearance during Burt Reynolds shoot as a chicken...lol
Man, great video and great man to do a video on. LOVED me some Jerry Reed aka Snowman. Loved his singing, songs, playing and acting. Him and Reynolds were gold on the big screen. Keep up the great work.
Jerry Reed also did a great movie before smokey & the bandit the movie was called hot stuff
Jerry had a great funny cameo in stroker ace
There are actually 7 or 8 smokey and the bandits but the ones past part 3 don't have any original stars in them seems like it is called the pursuit pack ???
They made a new movie of smoke and the bandit
❤ He said if he was a girl, he would kiss Elvis.
"SON!!!"
He was in the movie bat 21 which was a true story
Have you done johnny cash yet? Saw his grave last year with my cousin an visited the museum
I have. A lot of country history where he is buried at
He sure was a helluva guitar picker
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

??
Hey buddy can you do a gave visit on Bobby troop Judy London from tv show emergency buried at some cemetery in LA CA
I’ll add that to the list. Thanks for the suggestion
east bound ,loaded up and trucking
Hubbard was that his last name ?? and priscilla was that his wife.?
I remember the movie the survivors. That was a funny ass movie. Him and Robin Williams was funny as hell in that movie
Jerry Reed was a good man, but his kindness only went so far. If you pissed Jerry off he didn't care who you were he was a man and not a you know what.
Read my post above about meeting Jerry Reed in 1981 when I was a young teenager....
If there's a smell in that place there's something wrong with their ventilation system. There's not supposed to be a smell in there.
When Elvis recorded guitar man, they had Jerry Reed play on the song because it was so
Difficult to play.
He was married to my cousin Priscilla Mitchell daughter of my aunt Iren Mitchell
Hmmm- I grew up being told that “Priscilla” was my mom’s 2nd cousin. I can remember Jerry & Priscilla attended a couple of our family reunions.
I saw the movie Gator a few years ago and he did a great job of Acting. Check it out if you get a chance.
Did he really , sad if true
What does it smell like???
It is a combination of smells. It isn’t good, but it isn’t the worst smell. It’s more chemical than anything. It’s a smell that you remember
Why anyone want go grave unless it family
Nashville hot chicken
Very underrated guitar player
10 minutes of this guy walking around. Geez.
My mother knew him they went to high school at O' keefe together in Atlanta we bumped in to him when I was a kid at the varsity in Atlanta my mom said when he wouldn't show up in class she would have to go find him and he would be somewhere playing his guitar they knew back then he was talented
p
Wow
My buddy's dad's name is sung in a waylon Jennings song
That is a wonderful memory
Jerry Reed.

I really did enjoy Jerry Reed's music 🎶 🎵
One of the Greatest "Guitar Man" and Songwriters ever. I dearly love all of his Recordings! Thanx for the video son...😉
