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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nriDJjdiHKM

I really liked "East Bound & Down" and "When You're Hot, You're Hot"

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.
