    He was a singer and a talented narrator. hide show

    He was a great singer as he showed in one episode of 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. But to all Dukes fans he will be remembered for the theme song and for his narration of the series. What would the Dukes been like if it hadn't been for his words going into a break. Or how would they have done it if he hadn't introduced the characters in the first episode. He introduced Bo and Luke as cousins who fight the system. Uncle Jesse a person we would like and the clan patriarch. Daisy as drives like Richard Petty, shoots like Annie Oakley and knows all the words to Dolly Parton's songs. He introduced Roscoe as a fairly honest lawman who turned into a crook when he lost his pension in the last bond issue. He also introduced Boss Hogg as the person who ran the Sheriff who ran the county. He was just a great narrator.
