Mac Davis, country & pop song writer and singer, died yesterday after heart surgery in Nashville. He was popular in his own right, but also was a prolific songwriter for other major singers, incl Elvis' song, 'In the Ghetto'. I remember his own 'Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me'. Talented, easy going. Also did some TV/movies. And singer Helen Reddy died in Los Angeles yesterday. An Australian, she is best remembered for her American hit, 'I AM WOMAN' which became a feminist rights theme song for the times. That song was a biggie. May they both RIP. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Elvis crossed over from contemporary to gospel. It was for his gospel recordings that he won his only Grammy awards. I like country music. With my current insomniac issues, I put on a TV Music Channel and listen to the 'classic' country tunes. Just love them - only thing I tend to sing along or need to check out the artists (sometimes I forget - Gaitlin Brothers or Oak Ridge Boys). I'm beginning to feel like the AN Obituary Columnist! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gosh, I missed that the first time I read this. Oh, yes, I do remember her. Several of her songs. May she rest in peace. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
