Country Artist Mac Davis Passes Away, Leaves A Message In His Music

It was sad news this morning when we heard of the passing of the great Mac Davis due to complications from heart surgery. Mac wrote many songs for some of the top artists including Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Bruno Mars, Glen Campbell, Tammy Wynette, Avicii, Andy Williams, Conway Twitty, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Bobby Blue Bland, Merle Haggard and O.C. Smith. Mac was also a great singer, and one of my absolute favorite Mac Davis songs is “Lord, It’s Hard To Be Humble”. How can you not laugh and sing along?! That was his way: to be a little humorous and even laugh at himself. The following video from 1982 seems somewhat relevant in today’s current climate. Rest in peace Mr. Davis, you were “perfect in every way.”
