Country music superstar Dolly Parton asked for her fans to 'PrayForMacDavis.'
Born and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Davis wrote"In The Ghetto" and other classic songs for Elvis Presley before becoming a multitalented star in his own right. His string of songs with Presley began in 1968 with "A Little Less Conversation," followed by"Memories,""In The Ghetto" and"Don't Cry, Daddy.
Following those and big cuts with other stars — including the Bobby Goldsboro hit"Watching Scotty Grow" — Davis found his own success as a recording artist with the 1972 chart-topper"Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me" and the easy listening No. 1"Stop And Smell The Roses" in 1974., and began hosting his own variety show on NBC. "The Mac Davis Show" ran for two seasons, and Davis continued to star in Christmas specials on a near-annual basis through 1983.
But as a songwriter, he continued to enter new arenas well into the 21st century. A 2002 remix of"A Little Less Conversation" by Junkie XL became a global smash, as well as Presley's 31st No. 1 hit.
