Jerry Reed was never a celebrity. He was just an extremely talented humble country guy. One of my favorite stories about Jerry is when Elvis wanted to cover Guitar Man no one else could get the guitar right so they were trying to call Jerry down to the studio to play the part. No one could find him all day cause he was fishing.

@mariomanningfan 4 ай бұрын

And Col Parker tried to get Jerry to sign away half his rights to the song and Reed was willing to walk out of the studio over it. No one in Nashville had stood up to Elvis and Parker before that.

Col Parker demanded the find Reed to play on that song. It took quite a while. He was out fishing on the Cumberland River. He came to the studio in his fishing clothes, Elvis had always demanded the players dress up in the studio, but not Jerry. He borrowed a guitar, tuned it how he wanted it and laid down the track like Elvis wanted. Col Parker also tried to get Jerry to give him 75% of the publishing rights to the song, apparentlythat was a standard practice of his if you wanted Elvis to record your song. Jerry refused. Told him, it's MY song, I keep the publishing. Use it or don't. Elvis loved the song so Jerry kept the publishing rights and it became a number one hit for Elvis. It's said this was the only time Col Parker didn't get the rights to a song he wanted. For those who don't know, Col Tom Parker was Elvis' manager. He ruled with an iron fist.

Every time I hear this song while driving down the interstate I go just a little bit faster. Great driving song! God bless the late great Jerry Reed.

I'm 49 and Jerry was a multi talented singer actor WRITER and all around incredible humble funny man! R.I.P. Legend in his own right! Truly appreciate and miss him!

Love the Bell Bottom Jeans he was wearing. Reminds me of the style back in my high school days!

Jerry was a legend, and not just for the guitar playing. You don't run into people like him anymore, which is a shame.

This concert is the funkiest version of Jerry Reed I've ever heard. '82 must have been a crazier year than I remember.

Im 53. In England. Even there we all grew up with the Bandit movies, Cannon Ball and Any Which Way You Can... all the kids wanted to be them and live this Amerian life... I had no clue at all that this guy was an entertainer until today... Mind blown!
