Davis' career would peak a few years later with the #1 hit "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me" and the TV special "I Believe In Music" (named after another excellent song he wrote).
Cool piece! And I'm happy to report that the album is available on Spotify in the U.S. - you're right about his version of In the Ghetto. It's beautifully done. I'll check the rest out!

That's right - he also got into acting.
He took the Robert Redford part in the sequel to “The Sting”.

Thanks, Jeremy! Glad that Song Painter is available in the States for streaming.
I had a conversation with linda hall ( Rick Halls widow of FAME Studio) She talked of Mac being Ricks best friend in the business. Fascinating artist.
Oh wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.
I have pretty vibrant memories of my mom wearing a Mac Davis baseball Tshirt.... probably around 1980-1982.
Mac Davis was big for a while - a sensation!
