Rest in peace Jerry Scoggins. Your voice brought a lot of cheer, right 'chere. Ya'll come back, hear?
God Bless Jerry Scoggins. God Bless and comfort his surviving family members and friends.
What a voice, and what a talent.

I didn't know the series lasted until the early 70s. I thought it just ran for like 4 or 5 years. Must have been weird for the actors to see the strife and turbulence of the late 60s/early 70s when their show represented the idyllic period of the 50s and early 60s.

IIRC, he also did the hilarious take-off on that song for a SNL skit, "The Bel-Arabs."
".... then one day he was shootin' at some Jews, and up from the ground came a-bubblin' crude. Oil that is. Black Gold. Texas Tea. Kuwait Koolaid...."

LOL, is that true? That's great. If you could verify that, it would be good to know. :)

Jerry Scoggins, who sang "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" that introduced the comical Clampett clan on "The Beverly Hillbillies," has died. He was 93 I always wondered how old "Granny" was when she was on the show. She seemed about 93 to me at the time. Thanks to the Internet I can now see that she was born in 1902 and was therefore only 60 when the show began. She lived to the age of 71. Buddy Ebsen was only 6 years younger but lived to be 95.

Let me tell ya a little story 'bout a man named Jed.
Flatt and Scruggs are my favorite Bluegrass pickers. They can flat tear up Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
