When you’re hot, you’re hot

When you’re not, you’re not

RIP

Oh no, not Jerry!

I loved his performance in Smokey and the Bandit and the guy was a talented musician as well.

What a tremendous loss. So sad to see him go :(

I still watch some of them Bert Reynolds movies just because of him. I think I liked his acting more than his music. Real Cool!

RIP good buddy!

Farewell, fair minstrel. Your humor and decency make us all a little poorer with your absence.

Wife & I saw his act back when Smokey was hot. A sister-in-law was a secretary in the corp. I was in. According to her, he was just the way he acted.

We’ll miss ya, Jerry! God bless!!!

RIP Jerry. My dad loved your music and always smiled when you were on TV or the radio.

What a similar story you have with my dad... except the music. It was a different America while my parents and you were growing up.

And he was a Reaganite. I saw him open for a Reagan Rally at Cumberland Mall in Georgia.
