Eventually, he was reunited with his mother in 1944. While in high school, he was already known for singing and for writing music, gaining the attention of Bill Lowery which led to his first record entitled “If the Good Lord’s Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise”. He was signed to Capitol Records, but wasn’t noticed until Gene Vincent covered his song “Crazy Legs”. In 1958, he was signed to the National Recording Corporation, for which he would perform with other artists such as Ray Stevens and Joe South, establishing his net worth.

In 1959, Reed’s song “Soldier’s Joy” made it to the Billboard “Bubbling Under the Top 100”. Afterwards, he would serve for two years in the United States Army before returning to Nashville to continue his music career. While serving in the army, his songs continued to gain popularity, thanks partly to Brenda Lee’s cover of his song “That’s All You Got to Do”. In 1962, he had two successful singles entitled “Goodnight Irene” and “Hully, Gully Guitar”. In 1967, he would break through the country charts with the song “Guitar Man” which Elvis Presley would eventually cover.

He then worked with Chet Atkins for the LP “Me & Jerry”, and the following year, he released his biggest hit called “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot”, which became the title track of his first solo album and it would be awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. He continued making Top 40 singles in the next few years, and was also rewarded with the title of Certified Guitar Player by Chet Atkins. During this time he was also making regular appearances on “The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour”, which increased his exposure and added to his net worth.

Hr still recorded songs but mostly for the films he was a part of, and he also made guest appearances in the sitcom “Alice”.
