Remember that catchy hit song from the 1970s, "When You're Hot, You're Hot?" That was Jerry Reed's. His Nashville contemporaries knew him as "The Guitar Man" back in the day -- besides playing a Fender Telecaster like it was nobody's business, he also co-starred with Burt Reynolds in each of the three Smoky and the Bandit films. Reed scored a number one hit with "East Bound and Down" from the soundtrack to that epic triptych's first installment.
