Mac Davis dies at 78
Singer Mac Davis dies of a heart attack at 78 years old. Mac wrote "In The Ghetto" for the late Elvis Presley in 1969. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Davis
Re: Mac Davis dies at 78
On Freaks And Geeks Mac Davis was the topic of a funny conversation between Lindsay And Millie. They wax poetically about his chest hair. It's Hard To Be Humble is a funny song. Another one of his songs he wrote for Elvis, A Little Less Conversation, shows up in a few commercials, (and was the theme for the NBC TV show Las Vegas.)

"Freaks And Geeks" I do have "The Complete Series" on DVD!! One of my favorite shows that did NOT get a 2nd season & only 18 episodes!!!

A man from back when songwriting could land you a much bigger gig (remember Paul Williams? ).
I remember hearing MD's "Don't Get Hooked On Me", "Hard to be Humble", and "I Believe In Music" frequently back in the 70's, and watching his TV shows & specials. Lately, the aforementioned, "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis rides frequently in a Toyota TV ad, I believe, but like the Stones' "She's A Rainbow", seems to be quite popular in commercials, but not exclusive to any one brand during the same time period.
Davis was certainly talented, humorous, and likeable. His songs - and smile - were contagious.

On his NBC variety show in 1975, Mac did "Something's Burning" (song that he wrote for the late Kenny Rogers & The First Edition in 1970) & their were flames popping on the screen!!!

I couldn't sleep one Saturday night and I ended up watching an interview with Mac Davis on one of the Saturday night music shows on PBS. Amazing career, much more than I realized.
