http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20080902/122040594000.html
Jerry Reed (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800026232), a singer who became a good ol' boy actor in car chase movies like "Smokey and the Bandit (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800118781/info)," has died of complications from emphysema at 71.
As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, Reed had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "East Bound and Down," "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)" and "The Bird."
In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800010472), usually as a good ol' boy. But he was an ornery heavy in "Gator," directed by Reynolds, and a hateful coach in 1998's "The Waterboy," starring Adam Sandler (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800018711).
Welcome to the year of a million deaths...
