  • Texas has put out some good singers.

  • Great song. Happy Birthday Mac Davis!

  • Love this song - thanks!

  • I'm glad yall enjoy this song as much as I do. It is your viewership and comments that landed the one and only Chuck Norris ad here! lol

  • I forgot about this one I heard it today on satellite radio now I'm going to listen to it over and over on utube

  • Back in the 70's a lot of Country had a crossover to it!

  • I am around the weird part of Youtube yet again.

  • Like many women,I had a crush on Mac back in the 70's. He was a hell of a man.

  • I heard a rumor that Mac came out with this song after "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" and it pissed the women off, so he came out with this song, which I LOVE this song, one of my all time favorites, and by that time, the damage was done-women were done with him being their hearthrob, so that is why this song didn't do well in the box office. I bought it when it came out. I guess I was a handful of junior high aged girls who did, though.

  • @ProudKansan08 I think you should change that to "some women" because Mac stayed very popular on into the early 80s, doing TV shows and movies. This song made it to #11 on Billboard but "Don't Get Hooked.." went to #1 on 4 charts and #2 on another. You have to remember how the early 70s were about the word "hell." I remember having to sneak around to listen to "And When I Die" by Blood Sweat and Tears because of the lyrics "I swear there ain't no Heaven but I pray there ain't no hell."

  • Oh wow! I love Mac Davis and I loved this song. My Uncle had the Stop And Smell The Roses LP and I used to listen to it over and over again. Great Song, great singer / song-writer.

  • "One Hell Of A Woman" was played on an infrequent basis over the radio. This tune from 1974 had panache, spirit, oomph, and brilliance in describing a woman's determination in the real world to obtain success. A Brilliant 6!!

  • With the dreamy guitar sound, does this sound like the twin of Linda Ronstadt's "You're no Good?" They seem so cut out of the same cloth...

  • I've always LOVED this song by Mac....he is one talented singer & songwriter, wish he was still making great music....thanks for sharing...

  • this reminds me of his role in North Dallas 40....full of post-Nixon irony and inflationary difficulty and permissiveness...aw man, I would have loved to be an adult in 1974.....I think the ladies of that era would have actually liked me....

  • Thanks for posting the lyrics as well as the video!

  • This is one of my all time favourite songs - ah, so many memories from '74. Thanks Mac.

  • Mac's appearing in Sherman Oaks, CA on Feb. 28, 2011 at Cafe Cordiale.

  • @JonKonLA Give'em one hell of a woman, Mac! I mean, show.

  • cant believe they didn't get any heat from the stones the beginning sounds like a country version of satisfaction !

  • I have not heard this song since I was around 10 years old...thanks for posting!!

  • Great songwriter, great entertainer.

  • One of the greatest songwriters of all time: Mac Davis

  • wow..what a True classic!! TY for sharing an posting this...boy the memories...:-(

  • Strange fact. 'One hell' was the #10 song for '74, even though, on the weekly chart, it never got higher than #11. Mac also hit #20 AC. God bless!

  • great spng.. i wish charlie rich ///corrrection///could have sang it also...not charlie pride

  • great spng.. i wish charlie pride could have sang it also...

  • chalie rich should have sang this also.... similar voices

  • One Sweet Texas voice!! Easy on the eyes too! This is song of my youth...ty for posting!!

  • @kperk014 Thanks for Posting this Gem from Mac Davis. I don't think I have heard this since the 70's.

  • Excellent tune. Funny how kperk014 described the song as "a little too soulful and edgy for Nashville during that time." 36 years later, judging by the so-called "country" music these days, Nashville is still avoiding music that's soulful and edgy.

  • the slide guitar makes this song! another great song from '74...mom and dad's new Buick!

  • Oh man! I love this!

  • Have not heard this one in YEARS! Loved it when it first came out. I think I was about 12 and had a strong liking for it then and still do. Brings back the great music memories when I was a youngster. :) Great voice. Where did this guy ever go? Great talent.

  • Have hardly EVER heard this incredibly, yet it managed more than half a year on the chart--WOW...

  • and its wise not wife LOL

  • @LadyPegasus1963 Looks like I was right about one (tame instead of tan) and we were both wrong about the other. It's "wild" instead of wife or wise. Glad you listen though. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what they are saying.

  • the lyrics are ".. young and strong and tan" not tame.

  • Wonder if Mac wisely quit smokin' since that cover shot was taken? Dedicated to a 'heck' of a woman at my workplace. Hit #11 in Billboard. God bless!

  • Though he's from Lubbock, Tx and lives in LA, Mac Davis will be inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame along with Mac McAnally on March 25th. Congrats to Mac and Mac!

  • Great record

  • Too bad it didn't last 4:00 instead of 2:55.
