Kenny Rogers,Charlie Daniels,and now Mac Davis. Country Music will never be what it was back during the 70s and 80s. Today's stars don't even come close!
I feel so sad over his passing. Never MET him, but... That gorgeous smile, his talent and, yes, one of the Few HUMBLE ones in the business!! I hope there's something better waiting.. for Mac and for ALL of us, after
Met Mac Davis when I was a 17-year-old busboy at my hometown country club (1978) when he and his band played an afternoon of golf there. Believe me, he IS A VERY HUMBLE, WARM & GENEROUS MAN! CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY!
There are 2 guys who made millions of dollars with 2 "sing along bar" songs. Kenny Rogers with "Lucille", and Mac Davis with "It's hard to be humble." If you old enough to remember those songs were played over and over again.
Makes me smile too! My husband use to sing this all the time. We’ve now been married 35 yrs and I reminded him how he use to sing this around the house! Lol. He singing it again!! 🥰
..Back in the 70's and 80's, Mac Davis was hot on fire and "undoubtedly" one of the best looking men I had ever seen. I loved him so much. Mac was a HUGE talent and a LEGEND. Please rest peacefully Mac, I know you didn't want to leave.
I told my kids I want this to be one of the songs that they play at my funeral because I want to catch people off guard and I want him to smile. I want more than tears and these two brought a lot of smiles to people's faces in their lifetime
Kenny Rogers @ Mac Davies was great friends, Now they in Heaven, today, singing along with Glen Campbell, Elvis, and John Denver, too, It hard to be humble, R.I.P. every one,
Looking back these memories of Mac Davis takes back in that time. How I truly loved n adored this man. I never missed any of his shows on tv. I had no idea he was such a great song writer. We’ll love n miss u Mac. Rest In Peace ♥️♥️👍
That song came out when there was a big push on "humility" and thinking little of yourself. It makes me laugh and I'm beyond 65 years. It is a nice, funny song. Yes, we are not perfect but we can have some fun.
RIP Kenny Rogers and thanks to both these amazing guys for all they have given us. Our world needs to go simpler after the crisis we are facing, materialism, greed, avarice need to all be gone when we come out of it.
Kenny Rogers and Mac Davis are having way too much fun singing Hard To Be Humble. I always liked the humor in a lot of country songs. The best of "sad country music" makes you feel and think but this song definitely makes us smile. We all know a few people who could do with a serving or two of "humble pie." Just another great song from the 80s. An oldie but goody!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Hard_to_Be_Humble "It's Hard to be Humble" is a song by Mac Davis from his LP, Hard To Be Humble. It became an international hit in the spring of 1980. A version by Stout became a Top 20 hit in the UK and Ireland during the fall of the year.
Before Mac became famous he used to entertain all of us at the Shocker lounge on N. Hillside in Wichita, KS. He was destined to be a star way back then. It was evident that both music and singing were very natural to him. I've followed his career ever since.. Thanks Mac for all your tunes..
I used to hear about him being in town a lot because his wife was from Wichita. I may be wrong about this, but she was the one that was "stolen" by Glen Campbell when Mac was on tour one time. Never heard her name or anything so . . . After all that, I always had a bad feeling about Glen Campbell. Probably bothered me longer than it did Mac. Maybe I was being a bit petty? Since I was not involved, maybe just a bit, huh? I just always felt so bad for Mac. Well, 😢 now they're both gone so I can finally let all that go for good! Ha ha! 😕
What a concert!!! Mac Davis and Kenny Rogers! WOW!! I would have given anything to see both of them in concert. Kenny was so cool the way he sang and Mac was great, especially when he sang this particular song. Honestly I lose it when he sings “It must be the way that I fill out my skin tight blue jeans.” Rest In Peace, Kenny. 😥😥🙏🙏🙏🙏😦
I also cried when Kenny died -- a lot. Then last week when I heard that Mac had died, I cried buckets -- a lot -- again. Then I heard that Helen Reddy died the same day as Mac, I was a mess, crying, again. THEN, just last night (Friday night), I heard that Johnny Nash (I Can See Clearly Now) died just a day or two ago! Of course, there was Charlie Daniels a while back and let's not forget Eddie Van Halen just a few days ago, too. I'm not sure I can take anymore! This has been one crappy year! 2020, pffft.
These two were always some of my favorites growing up!!!!!! Awesome story tellers!!!!!! I always get a kick out of Mac chuckling while singing this live!!!!!!! RIP Brothers!!!!!!
This video makes me laugh every time I watch it! Love these 2 men and will greatly miss them.. At least there are the videos to watch tho.. RIP Mac and Kenny..
Great company. They're probably having a great time in Heaven. I pray for the family and friends left behind to carry on. May you be comforted by His peace and rest in His salvation.
No doubt that these great entertainers are entertaining everyone in heaven . Can’t believe they both passed this yr, RIP Kenny and Mac I’m sure you larrikins are raising cane above.🇦🇺🌅🙏🦋
If ever there was a feel good song for the men folks!! There needs to be a movie about Mac Davis life and Matthew McConaughey needs to play him!! Hell of a song writer guitar player singer RIP thank you for the music that spans my life.
This is a GREAT idea! Matthew doesn't actually look like Mac but they kinda have a similar look. I can see Matthew playing Mac and it would have to be fun for him, wouldn't it? 😗🇺🇸
I remember one bit he used to do on his TV show; he'd go around the crowd, pick someone, and they'd throw out one line; he'd think for a minute & put together a verse for a song that included their line. Usually something goofy/funny; his quick wit was very impressive.
Rest In Peace mr Mac Davis always love your music since I was a kid now you and Kenny Rodgers can sing all day and night keeping god intertained just save me a spot in heaven mr Davis and if you see my mom tell hello please
MAC Davis Just For The Hell Of It ...... My used To Be ... My Reflection Song .... Until Theresa Came Along ❤️🥰❤️ And That Was The End Of My .... Playboy Days 😎❤️😎❤️ Always Loving You Mac Davis & Kenny Rogers ❤️🙏❤️🙏 R.I.P. Brothers
A guy I used to work with at Radian INC in Austin used to sing this everyday, just to be funny of course. Those were the good old days. His name was Al if anyone remembers him.
Well great fun with this humorous song and also a cute singers. Great caress for the soul. The homage to both singers even though they are unfortunately no longer between us. Thank you Mac Davis and Kenny Rogers
My brother permed his hair and wow! The resemblance to Mac was uncanny. Our family went out to eat and people were staring at him. We were all amused. I got up to use the restroom and one of the ladies at a table near us followed me and asked if that was Mac Davis. I put my finger to my lips and whispered yes but don't tell anyone. She asked if I could get an autograph for her so I said I would ask. When I got back I told my brother who looked her way and grinned. He signed a piece of an envelope I had in my purse and I went and gave it to her. 😂❤
2020 has been such a terrible year. Losing both Mac Davis and Kenny Rodgers in the same year is terrible. I am so sorry for Mr Davis and Mr Rodgers families and friends. There is a huge hole in many of us now. "Lubbock Texas in my rear view mirror" from a fellow product of Lubbock Texas.

And much earlier - Wailon Jennings, Johnny Cash... 😢 We still have Willie and Kris
I love his warm and cheeky expressions. I love the little laughs he gives out while singing. He always did that💓💓
Hello Jen 👋 how are you ??
Rest In Peace to both now, Kenny Rogers & Mac Davis.
I feel so sad over his passing. Never MET him, but... That gorgeous smile, his talent and, yes, one of the Few HUMBLE ones in the business!!

This song has always smacked a smile on my face every time I hear it!!! Thank you Mac
Me too!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!😊
Yes, seriously the cutest song ever, almost as cute Mac Davis himself!!
Makes me smile too! My husband use to sing this all the time. We’ve now been married 35 yrs and I reminded him how he use to sing this around the house! Lol. He singing it again!! 🥰
I love everything about it, facial expressions & especially awww, love it.xx

That's what the world needs.... fun!
Well it does promote positive selfworth so.

Allison Johnson my grandfather would sing this song when I was little he passed mid april at age 86
This is what my great grandpa sang to me alll the time he asked for me to sing it at his funeral I had to fofile that last week

So sorry to hear of Mac Davis' passing. I loved him, his personality, his humor, and of course his music.

That's cool
Mac Davis , What a great talent ,and so humble.
he said this of his collaboration with elvis: he said he was lucky and being at the right place at the right time....
That’s what you get when you’re perfect in every way!
Lol!
It was hard for him to be humble, but he did the best that he could. At least that's what I heard.
@@rhymeswithorange6092 very true. He did try to be humble
They don't make them like this anymore. They will be truly missed. 😇💞🙏

Every man needs to listen to this often to counter the BS he deals with every day in today's world.
That's so true for sure
