Country & western singer / songwriter Jerry Reed Hubbard released more than 40 albums over a career that began at the age of 18. He had a natural on-screen charm, and is likely best remembered as trucker 'Cledus Snow' in the hugely popular Smokey and the Bandit (1977), and sequels Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983).
