The talent just oozes out of his pores. I really wish more people would take the time to get to know the true artist’s that we’ve been blessed with. Thank you Mac Davis for such wonderful art that’ll last for ever.
I was a teen when he was his most popular, He was the only poster I had of a celebrity. He could wear a pair of jeans like no body's business. *wink* *wink*
Oh, but countrygirl countrymusiclover1127, I am sorry to have to chime in on your comment here, but!! FOR YOU TO SAY : "That EDDIE RABBIT is the only LEGEND in the three names mentioned" (those being; ELVIS, MAC DAVIS, & EDDIE RABBIT) Girl, you Can't be a COUNTRY MUSIC LOVER NOR A MUSIC LOVER OF ANY KIND for you to exclude ELVIS and MAC DAVIS !! I agree EDDIE RABBIT had some great songs/hits in the '80s & '90s, BUT put his career side by side to either ELVIS'S or MAC'S, even with EDDIE'S 'other works' included, and there's NO COMPARISON!! I don't know what you've been listening to all your life but it sure can't be the same ELVIS, MAC DAVIS, KENNY ROGERS, GLEN CAMPBELL, ETC., ETC. that I have listened to ALL my 60 yrs of life on COUNTRY MUSIC, POP, SOFT POP, LIGHT POP, GOSPEL, LIGHT JAZZ POPULAR RADIO STATIONS and TV STATIONS!! BUT HEY...."To each , their own!" Just don't ignore or misuse the "definition" of a word like LEGEND!! 🙅♀️🤦♀️🙈😿😖
I didn't know that happened 2 months ago. I don't watch the news often and missed reading about it. I have so many childhood memories that include his music. To this day, "Who Ever Finds This" I cry. My cousins used to laugh and call me a crybaby every time but that song just hit my heart every time.
Thanks Mac for writing a lot of terrific songs for Elvis we will all forever enjoy. Thanks for the great memories. He wrote memories, In the Ghetto, Charro, Don't Cry Daddy. A little Less Conversation, Nothingville RIP Mac.
@Pam Schobelock You girl are so right, my husband and i listen to George Strait, Reba , you know the oldies but real Country. What they call country is crazy today. Stay safe Pam nice to know someone was country with me when country wasnt cool. 😷😷😷😷
One of my favorite performers. He was so talented. With so much sadness going on these days he was a bright light. Sad to lose him. Rest in Peace Mac Davis, you were loved!
My grandma went to high school with him and Buddy Holly, when I was a kid in the late 90s-00s she shared his music with me before she passed of breast cancer in 08. Been a fan of his ever since. Rest In Peace Mac
Joy Shepard I found out yesterday through Google that Buddy Holly graduated in 1955 and through my great aunt (my grandma’s baby sister) I found out that my grandmother graduated in 1957 and Mac Davis graduated in 1958 at the age of 16. So it’s definitely possible that the 4 of them could’ve bumped into each other back then and had conversations from time to time.
Cool to see this as my dad also went to school with Mac. He and Mac were the same age and my dad graduated in 60. Always loved Mac’s music and thanks to my Dad got to meet him many years ago. Lost my Dad a year ago. Always loved hearing the memories. RIP to my Dad and Mac.
Back in the days I want to thank all of the singers who had blessed us through the years with their songs they will be forever missed and thank you and like Bob Hope said... miss him to rest in peace thanks for the memories🙏❤🌷
Another precious human being has left the building. I believe in music. I believe in love. The special gift of Mac Davis,the man and his music will long be sweet memories to so many. Thank you, Graceland for your tribute to the man and the Memories.RIP,Sweet Music Man.
To write such a beautiful song in 24 hours is just incredible. The content of the song evidences what an equally beautiful soul he was. Your legacy will live on Mac ❤️✌️
What a talent he was. I had no idea Mac Davis even passed away. RIP Mr. Davis you truly were a gift to the music world and such a humble person thank you for your music.
I never knew that Mac Davis wrote this song . Wow what a fantastic singer and songwriter. I have nothing but respect for such a talent like Mac Davis........Rest Easy
I Love Mac Davis, I had a dream to meet him one Day, Now I will have to wait to meet him up in Heaven, But I am Glad to know that He & Elvis are once again together, making Beautiful music for our Heavenly Father... RIP Mac Davis, see you on the other side...
Beautiful tribute to a sweet, extremely talented singer/songwriter/musician. Can't believe he's gone too. Heaven is getting quite an angels choir with all those we have lost.😓❤☺ Deepest condolences to his family. We will miss you Mac. Thanks for the music.❤☺👍 Sweet Memories. R.I.P.
Omg, I mean no disrespect but when I glanced at your name I thought it was bucktooth fangirl. Lol after I already had scrolled past it I was thinking how strong willed you must be to accept the fact you are bucktooth..... Im picturing the straw hat, hee haw coveralls look with 2 gigantic front teeth that are possibly yellow stained. Then I just had to go back and see if a picture accompanied your post. Thats when I saw the buckeye not bucktooth. Im sorry, but I sure got a kick out of my blindness. Happy trails!
As a young girl of the 70's from west Texas, you've touched my soul and melted my heart. You are loved and missed; your legacy lives on. RIP sweet Mac.
True talent great guy a wonderful family man the one that you would want to know. Thank you so much for leaving us some music to remember you by Godspeed
I'm so saddened to hear Mac Davis's passing today. Memories has always been one of my favorites through the years.I know as Christians we're nit supose to morn because we're going to meet one day but I sure was inspired by his music since i was a child. May you rest in peace.🙏
You can draw a not to large of a circle around a part of Oklahoma and Texas and you will surround people that not only wrote songs like Mac Davis but invented entire genres of music, that’s classic, It’s incredible.
For some reason I was thinking of him over the summer, and Helen Reddy too, they were all over the seventies. I admired him for him and also that he wrote In the Ghetto, but there were so many others I discover here. Singers/songwriters of this quality don't come along so often so Mac we cherish you forever.
That was beautiful
Love Mac Davis. Great song writer. Wonderful Singer. ❤❤❤❤
I adored him!
Rest well Mr. Davis thank you
The talent just oozes out of his pores. I really wish more people would take the time to get to know the true artist’s that we’ve been blessed with. Thank you Mac Davis for such wonderful art that’ll last for ever.
Wow yes memories, a true artist, RIP sir
Kenny Rogers, now Mac Davis...thanks for music
I am totally crying just because!
My heart broke a little when l saw earlier today that Mac had died. As a teen, l fell a little bit in love with him when he hosted his variety show.
Yes nice man
Me too!
He was pretty darn cute... and loved his songs.
I was a teen when he was his most popular, He was the only poster I had of a celebrity. He could wear a pair of jeans like no body's business. *wink* *wink*
Caroline Smith - That’s two of us, Caroline.
R.I.P. Mac....
RIP MR. Davis. Thank you for the memories you left us. Go now and sing with the angels. ❤
Eddie Rabbitt and Mac Davis wrote big hits for Elvis...Rest in peace all three!!!!
@countrygirl countrymusiclover1127 Eddie Rabbitt was a class act for sure. Love him.

Love his songs, his voice, and his TV show. I think I had a crush on Mac! So sad to lose another music icon from my generation
Don't hear lyrics like that anymore.

May you rest in the arms of the Angels Mac!
Probably our greatest lyricist.
So very glad I got to see Mr Davis at Stagecoach in the Coachella Valley maybe 2015(?). RIP, Mr Davis.
A Legend!! A Genius!!! Rip Mac!!!!
Thank you Mac for this song. RIP
Another legend gone. Singing with Elvis now
Thank you Mac Davis...RIP. Your music will live on.
Damn.... Johnny Rivers and Mac Davis was my first crush when I was young girl back then and just sad of learning his passing RIP dear Mac 💜🎸🎶🙏
Such a beautiful verse. Wish it had been recorded with that one also. My favorite Elvis song. RIP Mac Davis. Thanks for all the "Memories!" ❤💔

Love and miss you Mac
RIP to both Elvis Presley and Mac Davis

💔 I grew up listening to Mac, enjoyed his songs
RIP Mac Davis.
A most beautifully compassionate and kindly understanding man, talent and ARTIST!
I have loved his singing since i first heard baby don't get hooked on me
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. R.I.P. Mac.
I really really love this. I love the alternate lyrics that was written. Wish Elvis could have done a full version of this song. It'd been great....
Loved his show when he asked the audience for a topic and he would come back with a verse. One of the best writers ever
Beautiful Mac.
True talent great guy a wonderful family man the one that you would want to know. Thank you so much for leaving us some music to remember you by Godspeed
I'm so saddened to hear Mac Davis's passing today. Memories has always been one of my favorites through the years.I know as Christians we're nit supose to morn because we're going to meet one day but I sure was inspired by his music since i was a child.
May you rest in peace.🙏
Sweet! Thank you.
thank you for all wonderful music you made for us
Rest Easy Mac! So sad to see all the great talents leaving us here on earth, can you just imagine the jamming going on in Heaven? 😊🙏🏻
Legend, excellent entertainer , great voice, great guy, very unique man
Love this song. Crying. While listening. Like the verses I never heard before. RIP
You can draw a not to large of a circle around a part of Oklahoma and Texas and you will surround people that not only wrote songs like Mac Davis but invented entire genres of music, that’s classic, It’s incredible.
RIP Mac Davis, grew up listening to him. Awesome song writer and singer.
I love this🥰❤️🙏🥺🎤🎶
For some reason I was thinking of him over the summer, and Helen Reddy too, they were all over the seventies. I admired him for him and also that he wrote In the Ghetto, but there were so many others I discover here. Singers/songwriters of this quality don't come along so often so Mac we cherish you forever.
Me too and saw an interview just a month ago about Elvis
Beautiful, thanks Mac, R.I.P.
Mac Davis, The master at work.
