Jerry Reed -- Amos Moses

[styleomatic]

Looks like a bearded Kerry Marx playing the Gibson 335.

[hairymoose1974]

ahh any video with the statler brothers making an appearance is a great video. any idea what this was originally on?

[44Snyder]

@hairymoose1974 Jerry had a tv special in the 80's. If I remember the list of guests included Burt Reynolds, The Statlers, Brenda Lee, Vicki Lawrence, Faron Young, Glen Campbell, and Jimmy Dean. Jerry was a one of a kind. I heard a story a couple years ago that Jerry and Burt Reynolds had a hand in pitching Don Williams as a singer after working with him in the movie WW and the Dixie Dance Kings in 74.

[04Jonsgirl]

Thumbs up if you think this should be the Theme for Swamp People!!!

[jazzmasterjesus]

@1977BanditTransAM swamp people legally hunt, thats why they dont use a song that glorifies illegally hunting.

[hunter6726]

Where the heck was this? Jerry, come back!

[virgiliomarquesneto]

"Named him after the man of the cloth, called him Amos Moses!"

[BRichards]

This is what I have enjoyed about Jerry Reed for years. He would actually get involved with the audience. NO matter how great he became, he always had fun with his fans..

[hapiegirl]

Hell Ya Jerry Reed is great!

[StvMcQueen1]

Too bad Don Rickles wasn't there. He would have had a BLAST!I I am amazed that Jerry kept his cool with such a lame crowd to work. Holy smoke!

[loriann1237]

@StvMcQueen1 Who you calling lame, that was Reba McCyntire and the Statler brothers! Can't do any better than that!

[Wolfytototito]

good old fun

[garyprein]

nice...

[moynonet]

The Statlers and Miss Lee were fucking around with mister Jerry Reed! My family does the same to me.

[jihadpizza]

[MOJORISIN92]

@franka64 its a works picnic and the people he talks to are country singers ( the guys in the crowd) lmao around the minute mark when one of the adler brothers pretends to be a stalker fan and jerry cracks up.

[bronsonwright1]

RIP Jerry We Miss You!

[littlebitsuspicious]

I dont understand why all those people are there watching him, as fans, and they dont even know the words??? am i missing something??

[snookerjam]

woooooow. youtube must be the best thing ever, thanks for letting me see all this cool old stuff....makes me realise how much crap we got since 1985 until today..

[bikerty67]

i like red , he said her name was brenda , is she a singer to ? anybody know?

[Bumptiously]

@bikerty67 Apparently, that's Brenda Lee. He had written an early hit for her back in the '50s I think.

[TheTrippinBalls]

Greatest video on youtube without a doubt !!

[bostonbruinsfever]

awesome

[Dulcimerist]

Is that Ted Danson in the red shirt???

[akabigdaddydawg]

Jerry really added a certain "zing" to his music. It just had tons of personality. LOL

[LoganTravisDark]

The guys he talks to in the crowd are The Statler Brothers. I miss that Louisiana swamp-rat. Rest well, Jerry. :)

[96joker]

1:15  FUUNK!!

[badboyrhythmdub]

[OcatoTopic]

[clcs13]

this is at my company picnic local 420

[danbrdoober]

Glad to see Brenda Lee there.Little Lady,towering voice! Statlers also.Good guys.I don't remember this on tv.Wish I had seen it.

[doomayam]

This makes me LOL every time.

[garlandcmoney]

Yeah, it's a spoof... you can bet that everyone there knew this song by heart, they were just goofing on Jerry to make him sweat... looks like it worked, too... He seemed to be genuinely trying to get sa vewrse out of those folks, and they just kept messing it up...

[xyberfunk]

uhm no, close though - they genuinely did not know the lyrics..

they probably know them by heart when they are alone in the shower... but not when on the spot...

[kinellfire]

this is a great version oif amos-moses - the music is what, almost almost 'country-funk'? does jerry do any other ones in this style?

[MKrock0]

all his songs are like this? lol when your hot youre hot, sugarfoot rag, lord mr ford. theres alot.

[Skygerobrian]

This is funny

[Medyshel]

Hahaha, he's the best!! I love you Jerry, and I miss you :(

[mondaysmainevent]

Apparently this is from a TV special from 1982. Jerry isnt high, its just a comedy special where all the stars got together and had a good time. That place reminds me of down in Birmingham, AL where my family has their reunions every May.

[cod4bojangles]

this is unlike jerry

is he high or something?????

[SwampDaddy7]

@cod4bojangles He ain't high . . . he's just havin' fun.

[Cunt03]

Is this a joke? or a spoof? I dont understand!

[doomayam]

lmao this is epic!

[purplepizzadog]

That was the Statler brothers in the front row, wasn`t it?

[pamirs94]

yeah i guess so

[justincotten]

Ohhhhh no..! haha

Insanity.

This would be a nightmare.

[darkmarzok]

LOL, this is insane.

[cowboydoubledeuce22]

Jerry was Country music!!!!

[swedentruck]

@cowboydoubledeuce22 damn right man!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[hfelknor]

My Goodness......that's the Statler brothers that he talks too.........

[resopicker]

One word......PRICELESS!! Omg who's that little redhead in the front row...is that who I think she is? (Hint...initials B.L.??) What IS this, a family & friends picnic?? Just an incredible clip, thanks for posting it. A "fav." for sure!

[44Snyder]

Brenda Lee. She gave Jerry a huge break in the early 60's when she recorded a song written by him called "That's All You Gotta Do". It was on the flip side of "I'm Sorry". This tv special was from the early 80's with the Statlers, Glen Campbell,Jimmy Dean, Faron Young, Viki Lawrence, and Burt Reynolds

[VGOIII]

Is that Prissy in the white, singing on stage?

[bliper11]

This is so fucking sad, i love snowman! <3 R.I.P ! :'(

[mousepd]

This must have been a party for his family. He knew everyone's name.

[STEViEmando]

RIP Jerry. Bloody superb.

[RickMarr4124]

That's why his music kicks ass... because it's pure fun how it should be

I'm not all for country but I was drawn to Jerry Reed because it's MUSIC

I'm not saying country isn't music but I was drawn to Jerry

Heaven bound and Down R.I.P

[funkfromspace]

this is halarious

[eperce]

Jerry Reed the Snowman is immortal! live in peace Jerry! May the wind be about your back and the sun upon your face and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft as you dance with the Stars! Your music and legacy will live on as new people find you and the old ones salute you! SALUTE!

[McElfresh4]

Great video,But not his best

[GuruGeaux]

Thank you so much! I only wish I could have seen him live.

[FijiBlake]

Awesome...how much PBR was consumed at this picnic?

[elixiroflife]
