That's the way I feel about him," Moore-Reed said.Reed was a gifted guitarist who later became a songwriter, singer and actor.As a singer in the 1970s and early 1980s, he had a string of hits that included "Amos Moses," "When You're Hot, You're Hot," "East Bound and Down" and "The Bird."In the mid-1970s, he began acting in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit" with Burt Reynolds, usually as a good ol' boy. But he was an ornery heavy in "Gator," directed by Reynolds, and a hateful coach in 1998's "The Waterboy," starring Adam Sandler....
Did I just go back in time? Didn't he die a couple of weeks ago?
