Mac Davis was a humble, down to earth guy who never really let fame go to his head. He stayed true to who he was. Just a good ole' boy from Texas. Such a talented songwriter and singer. RIP Mac.

Mac Davis was greatly loved among his fans. Talented writer, great singer in his own right with his hit songs that anyone in the 70s recognized immediately. Mac was also a tv and movie star. He seemed to have it all and did because his fame never took away from being a good husband and Dad. God bless Mac, we thank God for putting his talents on this earth for all to enjoy. His song Memories says it all. Its what we hold with Mac Davis. Great memories of Mac forever.

To lose Mac Davis and Helen Reddy within a day is crushing. I grew up listening to both of them.😢😢😢😢

Thank you Mac Davis for all of the great music over the years, rest well my friend !

“It’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way !”

I have sweet . memories of when I first heard Mac Davis sing "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me " but it was too late...I already was. :) Don't think I've ever played any song as much as I played that. Love you, Mac... RIP🙏❤💚🧡💛💜💚💛

Rest In Peace Mac!! You’ll be singing with Elvis in a different dimension!!You will live through your music!😞😞🙏🙏♥️

Oh I do love this song. He was around Elvis and Elvis gave a couple of lines for this song. I wish he had told the story. I heard him tell it in one of his videos. Mac told Elvis why don’t you write the song. Elvis said no you write them, I sing them. When he got the song finished he called Elvis on the phone, sang it to him. Elvis loved it. They had a great friendship. Mac was in Memphis one time and Elvis heard he was so he had someone call Mac-at his hotel and ask him if he wanted to go to movie night with him? So Mac did. He said he had fun. He loved macs song writing skills.

I love memories. It's such a great song. You just can't write beautiful if you don't have a beautiful soul. God bless. RIP, my songwriting brother.

RIP Mac Davis...loved every song you wrote and every song you sang! This one is my favorite!

Rest in peace , Mac.......Thank you, for the the beautiful Memories.

When it comes to movies, there is nothing better than the director's cut. When it comes to songs, there is often nothing better than the songwriter's original version. I suspected for 50 years there must be more to this song than the single verse of Elvis' version ( which I first heard on the live "Comeback Special" in 1968). The two darker verses make it a much more interesting song.

Let's not forget Mac as the greatest movie QB of all time Seth Maxwell in North Dallas Forty. For football players of that era that was OUR movie. RIP Mr. Davis. You led a great life and you are missed.

Country star Mac Davis, who launched his career crafting the Elvis hits “A Little Less Conversation” and “In the Ghetto,” and whose own hits include “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me,” died in Nashville on Tuesday September 29, 2020, after heart surgery. He was 78.

R.I.P Mac, our team in Nashville will sorely miss you!

RIP Mac. Fly to heaven and sing with Elvis!

Mac Davis was a talent 🎶🎶🎶

I miss Mac and I am so thankful for KZread keeps all that leave this earth too soon alive with their awesome and outstanding talents....MEMORIES!

RIP my friend you left a Legacy like no other the great awesome songs you wrote are nothing more less than genuine he had a song called watching Scotty grow in which my brother got the name for his son scotty he was a bigger fan than me but I know every song he wrote god bless his family and watch over them and him too

No one can replace such a wonderful person so dedicated to his vocation all on his own..

Just a man with his voice and a guitar, what a gift he left for us.

Mac was well known as a great song writer and singer . He had many hits of his own and can still remember many of them word for word . Mac will be missed greatly ..God bless

The Man could paint with words like no other. R.I.P. Brother ❤️🇺🇸

Such a beautiful song. One of my all-time favorites.

I have always loved this song but I don’t think you can really appreciate it until you are midlife and look back on your life. I researched it and found Mac wrote the lyrics in one night for Elvis. Soon as the music starts the tears start. Then the lyrics. A timeless favorite.

RIP Mac.. One hell of a great American song writer..!!

Mac Davis and Elvis complimented each other. Mac's songs are very well written and very emotional, but he just doesn't have the voice that Elvis had to bring out the most from the song. Glad that Elvis got a chance to record some of these great Davis songs.

R I P Mac Davis...I will remember you with love💔💔

I always loved Mac Davis. That voice!! Have a great time with all the country stars up there. Never forgotten.

I love Elvis singing this one, I didn't know Mac wrote it!

Loved his music rest in peace 💓

I always luv Mac Davis' songs. Rest in peace . My deepest sympathy to your family and friends.

So sad to know he's gone. RIP Mac Davis.

Ah Elvis Presley... Ah Memories! Obrigada Elvis Presley. Obrigada Mac David...

I like to thank Mac ,for his songs that he gave Elvis to sing .mac was a great song writer .i will never forget u Mac u were a god sent

I, can't believe he's gone. He was a awesome song writer and story teller. RIP Mac Davis . Love and Prayers / God had to have him to sign to HIM for awhile now.

I loved Mac Davis you well be miss.

Such a beautiful song! So happy that Mac and Elvis got to collaborate.

I've been loving Mac Davis since I was 10 years old and heard "Baby, Don't get Hooked on me." I had no idea what he was singing about... lol. Then he had his tv show on Thursday nights. Man, I never missed that show. The first record album I ever bought was a Mac Davis record.

do you remember, on his show, when he'd ask the audience to shout out song ideas? in a flash, mac would take those one or two word ideas, then write a quick tune. the result wasn't always good, but it was always fun to watch.

Love this man!! His voice is as sweet as he is!!! All his music comes from the heart!! That's why Elvis liked his songs. Love u MAC !!!

Mac Davis is just an easy listening performer. I always loved him. RIP our dear friend.

Elvis Happy Birthday 85 yrs ago , the Greatest entertainer and the man that changed the world Elvis , this song reminds of our memories of Elvis . Tcb forever

A wonderful song written by a great songwriter & sang by the great Elvis ❤

Wow. I don't remember seeing this. I'm kicking myself. Thank you Mac. Long live the king of rock n roll and everything else. Good night Graceland

Rest in peace to Mac wrote and performed so many great songs

I didn't know he wrote Don't cry Daddy , another awesome song. And Memories is one of my top favorite Elvis songs , such incredible lyrics.

I am so sorry for you t bogiel. Your loss is felt by so many millions you don't even know. They loved your uncle and his music. He was a master with his voice, his musical talent, his writing, his creativity. May you and may all Mr Davis's family and friends and fans be comforted with the rich and beautiful memories of his precious life. Blessings to you from just a little kid from Lubbock Texas in 1957.

Grew up listening to Mac Davis. He will be missed. I've never been to Lubbock Texas. I need to go there sometime. Has to be a special place.

Lyrics for this concert/tribute version: Memories Pressed between the pages of my mind Memories Sweetened through the ages just like wine Quiet thoughts come floating down And settle softly to the ground Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touch them and they burst apart with sweet memories Sweet memories Of holding hands and red bouquets And twilights trimmed in purple haze And laughing eyes and simple ways And quiet nights and gentle days with you Memories I cling to them and tremble to the dawn My memories Are all I have left now that you've gone Moonlit shadows rise and fall And paint your image on the wall To comfort me, till I fall asleep I dream of you and fill my heart with sweet memories Sweet memories Of holding hands and red bouquets And twilights trimmed in purple haze And laughing eyes and simple ways And quiet nights and gentle days with you Memories Sadly fragrant flowers turning brown Memories Soft and distant showers coming down Coming down Memories~

Those words are so moving. Life is very precious, finding true love in a mate and feeling what God intended for us in a relationship is priceless. God bless you Mac Davis. Just because your songs were written almost 50 years ago, they are fresh in the minds of those of us who loved your music. We will listen to them until our time comes to join you in heaven. To believe in Christ assures we see you again.
