Mac Davis - In The Ghetto. + Informações

Music & Lyrics: Mac Davis - 1972 On the quiet street in the city A little old man walked alone Shuffling through the autumn afternoon And the autumn leaves reminded him Another summer's come and gone He had long lonely nights ahead waiting for June Then among the leaves near an orphan's home A piece of paper caught his eyes And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands As he read the childish writing The old man began to cry 'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand "Whoever finds this, I love you Whoever finds this, I need you I ain't even got no one to talk to So, whoever finds this, I love you!" Well, the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home And came to rest upon a child With her nose pressed up against the window pane And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last So he waved at her and smiled And they both knew they'd spend the winter Laughing at the rain And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain Talking through the fence Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other The old man would carve toys And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful ladies for him And they laughed a lot But then one day on the first of June The little girl ran to the fence... the old man wasn't there And, somehow she knew he was never coming back So she went back to her little room took a crayon, And wrote "Whoever finds this, I love you Whoever finds this, I need you I ain't even got no one to talk to So, whoever finds this, I love you!. + Informações

Mac and Rick Hall team up for a song that was a little too soulful and edgy for Nashville during that time. Too bad for Nashville. Good for Muscle Shoals. Though he's from Lubbock, Tx and lives in LA, Mac will be inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame along with Mac McAnally on March 25th. Congrats to Mac and Mac!. + Informações

Basically Mac Davis should be more famous than he is. He has actually made some good songs, many can not connect with him today. Here is one of them, You're My bestest Friend, it is even with David Briggs on piano, so it can not be better. + Informações

By popular request...this is the Mac Davis version originally written and recorded by Dick Feller (you can hear the original version by looking through my other videos) --- Now I was a play horse you pulled with a string On wheels where my legs should be And he was the boy who pulled the toy Around the tree house tree And for the longest time there was just us two The boy and the horse that was me Until the day the purple bear came to live in the tree house tree Ah it was early one spring And I was tied by my string In a field of the make believe farm When around the house the boy and the bear Came marching arm in arm 'This is Biff', said the boy to me 'He's the friendly, purple bear' And Biff stooped down and stroked my mane With a paw of purple hair 'Biff has come to stay,' said the boy 'to pretend with me and you And he can do anything that a boy and a toy Believe purple bears can do' And taking the cue, Biff bowed from the waist Then leaped and clicked his heels And down to the ground with three somersaults That ended in four cartwheels He whirled and twirled and stood on his head And the boy giggled and slapped his thighs And I laughed so hard that wooden tears Rolled out of my painted eyes So Biff came to stay in the tree house tree And long days came without end For the boy and the toy and the purple bear And serious games of pretend Like the cowboy game Where the boy is the Sheriff And Biff is the bandit king That always seem to end With all the outlaws down in .... + Informações

A #1 hit in 1972. " Scott "Mac" Davis was born Jan. 21, 1942 in Lubbock, Texas. During his early years in the music business, he lived in Atlanta, where he played in a rock & roll band and worked as a regional manager for Vee-Jay Records. Although he had enjoyed a measure of songwriting achievement before, his big breakthrough occurred in 1969-70 when Elvis Presley turned three of his songs-"In The Ghetto," "Memories" and "Don't Cry Daddy"-into pop hits. Davis followed these successes with "Everything A Man Could Ever Need" (a hit for Glen Campbell), "Something's Burning" (Kenny Rogers & The First Edition), "Watching Scotty Grow" (Bobby Goldsboro) and "I Believe In Music" (Gallery). In 1972, Davis scored his first No. 1 pop hit as a singer in 1972 with his own composition, "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me." Over the next several years, he adorned the pop and country charts with such self-penned efforts as "Stop And Smell The Roses," "It's Hard To Be Humble," "Texas In My Rear View Mirror" and "Hooked On Music." From 1974-76, he hosted and starred in his own musical variety series on NBC-TV. He also acted in such movies as North Dallas Forty (1979), Cheaper To Keep Her (1980) and The Sting II (1983). He played the title role in the Broadway production of The Will Rogers Follies."
