Such a shame, I really liked his music and he was funny as hell in "Smokey and the Bandit".
RIP Jerry.....

Strange they didn't mention his most well-known hit. Over this side of the pond anyway.

Yeah, heard that yesterday. Not that familiar with his music, although I read somewhere that he was a good guitarist, but I liked his personality. Another one we're gonna miss. R.I.P. Jerry.
