Jerry Reed is someone I grew listening to. My folks loved him. I have the Jerry Reed Essentials on CD. My favorite song of his will always be Amos Moses --- one of the most entertaining story songs ever. And Thing Called Love. What a beautiful song. I'm sure somewhere in American, Burt Reynolds is crying.

I only know his face because of the Geico commercial, but of course his voice is and always has been instantly recognizable.

I wonder how many will only remember Don for that Geico commercial?

I own the Smokey & the Bandit films on DVD, so know who Jerry Reed is(was).

I wonder who might be the third one since they tend to die in 3's?

Anyways, RIP to both of them.

Yeah, I read about that. Definite suckage. He will be missed. Of course Pablo Francisco does a great impression of him. And he's not working much lately...

Mr. Voiceover died yesterday from what's believed to be a collapsed lung. It's a sad day in Hollywood
