Mac I owe everything to you I wouldn't even write songs if it wasn't for you, You started it all for me. I tell everyone about you and how you were the inspiration for my songwriting. If there was anyone I would love to meet on this earth it would be you. I owe everything to you. I'm Brody McCain you started it all for me. Brody McCain.
Mac Davis TV show audience members got to fill out cards before the show with ideas for crazy song titles. Mac would handle 2 or 3 selected song titles live and, he would come up with a song on the spot. Very talented guy. I attended a show mid 70's and got my song title selected."Gopher's Got Your Granny".i remember it after 35 years. However, I was so excited i went out of turn in raising my hand when Mac "asked" the audience for song titles. b4 show start we were given 1st, 2nd or 3rd spots.
someone interveiwed him ans asked him about that. How he just came up with tunes. He said he just had it in him since he was a child. he'd whistle tunes and his daddy would ask him where he head that tune from. And he said he just made it up. And his father would go , 'Nah.........??"
SAW HIM WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT-HE WAS BACK UP FOR HELEN REDDY(YUK) HE GOT 3 STANDING O'S SHE GOT NONE--ALL HE HAD WAS HIS BAR STOOL AND A GUITAR--HE WAS FANTASTIC
ha ha. thats talent! he had lots...immeausrable. He said the best thing that happened to him was Elvis..or meeting elvis. I'd say elvis was lucky to find him. And mac had huge talent.
Mac Davis is so underrated, he has a fantastic voice and he wrote such classics such as this, In the ghetto which as we all now know was a massive hit for the king Elvis Presley.. thanks for posting.

As I remember, Davis wrote the song, Elvis sang it, then Davis recorded it himself. Both versions sound great!
