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.

Eddie Rabbitt and Mac Davis wrote big hits for Elvis...Rest in peace all three!!!!

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!! 🙅‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙈😿😖

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.

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.

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!

I will always remember you as my hero. I sang your songs when I was young

RIP to both Elvis Presley and Mac Davis

Your music will always live on!! Thanks Mac!!

I didn't know he passed away. :( Rest easy, sir. I loved A Little less Conversation and In the Ghetto as well.

One of the best. RIP Mac Davis.

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....

Had dinner with Mac and his band many years ago .. what you see is what he was ..kindest, sweetest, funny, gentle man...RIP! :(

Rest in peace Mag Davis will always love your beautiful voice👏

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

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

Rest in Peace Mac -- you had great music

Loved Mac Davis's songs. RIP.

Another legend gone. Singing with Elvis now

May you rest in the arms of the Angels Mac!

Mac had a TV show for a while. The best part is a section where he would ask audience members for a phrase to write a short song with, right on the spot. He would often take a simple phrase and turn it around to mean something unexpected. It was clever, funny, sometimes brilliant. What a great talent. You will be missed, Mac Davis.

A real Texas gem! He's back home in Lubbock! RIP Mac, sweet memories!

Beautiful song. Mac such a legend a very sad loss.

Thank you Mac for this song. RIP

So very glad I got to see Mr Davis at Stagecoach in the Coachella Valley maybe 2015(?). RIP, Mr Davis.

Lubbock will always love you Mac Davis❤️

Thank you Mac Davis...RIP. Your music will live on.

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.🙏

A Legend!! A Genius!!! Rip Mac!!!!

RIP Mac Davis.

Send my regards to Elvis

R.I.P Mac Davis

Loved his song writing and voice. R.I.P. Mac! 😭💔

I always mention to my husband that I want this song played repeatedly at my funeral one day. It's my all-time favorite Elvis Presley song.

I am totally crying just because!

💔 I grew up listening to Mac, enjoyed his songs

thank you for all wonderful music you made for us

So sad ,condolences to his family. Maybe Mac and Elvis are singing together in heaven

WHAT A FANTISTIC WORDSYMTH!

Truly love this man.

R I P Mac Davis what fabulous artist Yessssss

Love this song. Crying. While listening. Like the verses I never heard before. RIP

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.

I was a huge fan of The Mac Davis Show when I was a child. I don't think I missed too many episodes if any. Haven't seen the show since so I have no idea how it holds up... except in my memories....

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 Love Mac Davis !!! 💕

RIP 🙏🏻❤️👆🏻

Great 👍

I always tear up when I hearths song.. love it.

On his TV show he would often end by sitting on a stool taking requests for impromptu songs based on a word or phrase. He was always great.
