Jerry Reed Hubbard (March 20, 1937 – September 1, 2008), known professionally as Jerry Reed, was an American country music singer, country guitarist, session musician, songwriter, and actor who appeared in over a dozen films. As a singer, he may be best known for "(Who Was The Man Who Put) The Line In Gasoline"; "Lord, Mr. Ford (What Have You Done)"; "Amos Moses"; "When You`re Hot, You`re Hot," for which he received the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 1972; and "East Bound and Down", the theme song for the film Smokey and the Bandit, in which he co-starred. Reed was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the second child of Robert and Cynthia Hubbard. Reed`s grandparents lived in Rockmart, Ga. and he would visit them from time to time. He was quoted as saying as a small child, while running around strumming his guitar, "I am gonna be a star. I`m gonna go to Nashville and be a star." Reed`s parents separated four months after his birth, and he and his sister spent seven years in foster homes or orphanages. Reed was reunited with his mother and stepfather in 1944. Music and impromptu performances helped ease the stressful times the new family was under. Reed married Priscilla "Prissy" Mitchell in 1959. They have two daughters, Charlotte Elaine "Lottie" Reed Stewart, and Seidina Ann Reed Hinesley, born April 2, 1960. Priscilla Mitchell was a member of folk group the Appalachians ("Bony Moronie", 1963), and was co-credited with Roy Drusky on the 1965 Country #1 "Yes, Mr. Peters".
In the mid-1970s, Reed`s recording career began to take a back seat to his acting aspirations. In 1974, he co-starred with his close friend Burt Reynolds in the film W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings. While he continued to record throughout the decade, his greatest visibility was as a motion picture star, almost always in tandem with headliner Reynolds; after 1976`s Gator, Reed appeared in 1978`s High Ballin and 1979`s Hot Stuff. He also co-starred in all three of the Smokey and the Bandit films; the first, which premiered in 1977, landed Reed a Number 2 hit with the soundtrack`s "East Bound and Down." Reed also took a stab at hosting a TV variety show, filming two episodes of The Jerry Reed Show in 1976.
Reed died in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 1, 2008, of complications from emphysema. The Associated Press wire service and CNN, however, reported the date of his death as August 31. In a tribute in Vintage Guitar Magazine, Rich Kienzle wrote that "Reed set a standard that inspires fingerstyle players the way Merle and Chet inspired him."
