I loved hearing Mac Davis and Elvis Presley. I'm so glad that Mac Davis wrote some songs for Elvis Presley. Both men have wonderful voices. Love you both so much. R.i.p
I have always loved this song but I don’t think you can really appreciate it until you are midlife and look back on your life. I researched it and found Mac wrote the lyrics in one night for Elvis. Soon as the music starts the tears start. Then the lyrics. A timeless favorite.
I have sweet . memories of when I first heard Mac Davis sing "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me " but it was too late...I already was. :) Don't think I've ever played any song as much as I played that. Love you, Mac... RIP🙏❤💚🧡💛💜💚💛
Mac Davis was a humble, down to earth guy who never really let fame go to his head. He stayed true to who he was. Just a good ole' boy from Texas. Such a talented songwriter and singer. RIP Mac.
RIP my friend you left a Legacy like no other the great awesome songs you wrote are nothing more less than genuine he had a song called watching Scotty grow in which my brother got the name for his son scotty he was a bigger fan than me but I know every song he wrote god bless his family and watch over them and him too
Let's not forget Mac as the greatest movie QB of all time Seth Maxwell in North Dallas Forty. For football players of that era that was OUR movie. RIP Mr. Davis. You led a great life and you are missed.
Just beautiful, like the man himself. Mac, you have given us so many memories via your compositions, memories that will sustain all of us on our respective journeys. Rest in Eternal Peace and Rise in Glory. ❤️🙏
Mac Davis was greatly loved among his fans. Talented writer, great singer in his own right with his hit songs that anyone in the 70s recognized immediately. Mac was also a tv and movie star. He seemed to have it all and did because his fame never took away from being a good husband and Dad. God bless Mac, we thank God for putting his talents on this earth for all to enjoy. His song Memories says it all. Its what we hold with Mac Davis. Great memories of Mac forever.
Country star Mac Davis, who launched his career crafting the Elvis hits “A Little Less Conversation” and “In the Ghetto,” and whose own hits include “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me,” died in Nashville on Tuesday September 29, 2020, after heart surgery. He was 78.
Oh I do love this song. He was around Elvis and Elvis gave a couple of lines for this song. I wish he had told the story. I heard him tell it in one of his videos. Mac told Elvis why don’t you write the song. Elvis said no you write them, I sing them. When he got the song finished he called Elvis on the phone, sang it to him. Elvis loved it. They had a great friendship. Mac was in Memphis one time and Elvis heard he was so he had someone call Mac-at his hotel and ask him if he wanted to go to movie night with him? So Mac did. He said he had fun. He loved macs song writing skills.
macs my uncle and never knew all the wonderful things and songs he wrote...he still writes songs .. he played some last weekend at y house ....i love my uncle. so awsome
When it comes to movies, there is nothing better than the director's cut. When it comes to songs, there is often nothing better than the songwriter's original version. I suspected for 50 years there must be more to this song than the single verse of Elvis' version ( which I first heard on the live "Comeback Special" in 1968). The two darker verses make it a much more interesting song.
Mac was well known as a great song writer and singer . He had many hits of his own and can still remember many of them word for word . Mac will be missed greatly ..God bless
I, can't believe he's gone. He was a awesome song writer and story teller. RIP Mac Davis . Love and Prayers / God had to have him to sign to HIM for awhile now.
Mac Davis and Elvis complimented each other. Mac's songs are very well written and very emotional, but he just doesn't have the voice that Elvis had to bring out the most from the song. Glad that Elvis got a chance to record some of these great Davis songs.
Elvis Happy Birthday 85 yrs ago , the Greatest entertainer and the man that changed the world Elvis , this song reminds of our memories of Elvis . Tcb forever
I've been loving Mac Davis since I was 10 years old and heard "Baby, Don't get Hooked on me." I had no idea what he was singing about... lol. Then he had his tv show on Thursday nights. Man, I never missed that show. The first record album I ever bought was a Mac Davis record.
do you remember, on his show, when he'd ask the audience to shout out song ideas? in a flash, mac would take those one or two word ideas, then write a quick tune. the result wasn't always good, but it was always fun to watch.
I am so sorry for you t bogiel. Your loss is felt by so many millions you don't even know. They loved your uncle and his music. He was a master with his voice, his musical talent, his writing, his creativity. May you and may all Mr Davis's family and friends and fans be comforted with the rich and beautiful memories of his precious life. Blessings to you from just a little kid from Lubbock Texas in 1957.
A Beautiful Song Memories"" written by a Beautiful Angel flying above"" Mac"" l will miss you "" your music will live on in my life "" reunited with Elvis in Heaven""" 😞💔💔
He gave "Elvis Presley" many Songs to Sing!!!

Too much emotion for this morning. RIP Mac. You too were one of a kind!
My heart is breaking
RIP Mac Davis...loved every song you wrote and every song you sang! This one is my favorite!
No one can replace such a wonderful person so dedicated to his vocation all on his own..
“It’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way !”
Rest In Peace Mac!! You’ll be singing with Elvis in a different dimension!!You will live through your music!😞😞🙏🙏♥️
