Singer Jerry Reed dies

Another music legend has died.

Jerry Reed, a country singer and musician known for hits like "When You're Hot, You're Hot" and for playing the character Snowman in 'Smokey And The Bandit', died yesterday at the age of 71 after a battle with emphysema.

I also remember Reed appearing in animated form in an episode of 'Scooby-Doo'.

Although Reed's music was seldom played on the radio in recent years, I remember him being quite popular back in my day.
