A Great Song Writer Was Mac Davis Who Wrote Elvis Presley Three Great Numbers Such As . In The Ghetto , Memories , A Poor Man's Gold May He Rest In Peace !!! ...
RIP Mac Davis, thank you for so many great songs and memories while growing up. You will forever be remembered through your songs and music. Such a beautiful man inside and out. Praying for your family. My heart is sad 😔.
He was a kinder, gentler Johnny Cash, but his sense of humor was one of things I loved about him most. RIP, Mac. I hope you and Helen Reddy are collaborating again in the Greatest Concert Hall.

I met Mac Davis in a bad situation. A lady in front of him slammed on her brakes because she missed her turn. He bumped her and I bumped him. When he got out of the car and I recognized him, I tried to lighten the situation by saying, “Of all the people in Los Angeles I could’ve crashed into, it had to be one of my heroes.” (It was true. I grew up with his music, as most of us did.) He was a gentleman throughout the ordeal and always called me buddy. He even told me a story about when he bought his first car with the money he earned from writing “In the Ghetto” for Elvis. He called it his “Elvis car”. He said he was driving down the street one day “looking at a girl’s rear end walking along the sidewalk instead of the rear end of the car in front of me” (as he put it) and didn’t see it had stopped until it was too late. He caused a lot of damage to that car, and he had only had it for a month or two. He probably told me that to make me feel better about running into him. As the old saying goes, the best way to know someone’s true character is to see how they behave in a bad situation, and how they treat someone who can’t do anything for them. By both measures, Mac was an absolute prince. I cried when he died like he was a good friend. The best artists make you feel that way. Rest in peace, buddy.
I remember that song "I like.... babies' butts..." it was actually on some album of his... lol.... interesting how he just says "that would have been a good song," and basically makes fun of it now

Loved watching that show in the 70s.
You've got to like Mac he was such a naturally gifted man. He will be sadly missed. Thanks for the music Mac.

The twinkle in his eyes, especially when he would perform "It's Hard to be Humble" ......
Hello Ana?
One of the nicest singers in a long time. RIP now Mac - your work is done and we have some beautiful memories.
"Burnin' the bra" really had me bent over! RIP good fella.
I remember the Mac Davis Show. I've never forgotten him. One of my favorite song writer entertainers.
He was my second crush in Jr High, that smile, those eyes......
@Kathy Gregoric did you have his poster over your bed too?

That was a awesome! I used to be a fan but somehow over the years I’d lost track of him. I forgot how funny he was
I was 5 years old and watched the Mac Davis show with my mom and dad
"'Whoever Finds This, I Love You." heart wrenching song, but beautiful.
Hello Pat ?
And I LOVED his show!
I often wondered what happened to him. One of my favorites
Mac Davis is a great story teller. He's funny.
*_Rest In Peace Mac_*
*_Job Well Done, Sir_*
RIP Mac .
You are missed Mac
I love this! Thanks so much!
Awesome! I miss your show!

I remember tractor gear in your ear for a song title from an audience member.
The song I like babies butts was recorded than the one he made fun of. It is on an album. And very good
He had a Parody of Big Bad John called Big Jim it was Hilarious Wish it was Available...
I remember his show. Does anyone remember the electronic puppet, Rodney?
5:22 He mentioned Helen Reddy! How sad they both died the very same day and they were both 78!
Lightning bolt would have definitely been a Smash!
Not being a Reddy fan, I loved the Reddy joke 😉
Hello Lyell?

I remember that song "I like.... babies' butts..." it was actually on some album of his... lol.... interesting how he just says "that would have been a good song," and basically makes fun of it now
