Mac Davis is DEAD TO ME!!!

Was yesterday the designated day for 70s singing stars to pass away? Davis and Helen Reddy.

Two 70s icons dead. Who will be next?

Olivia Newton John, you in danger gurl!

Baby, baby don't get hooked on me.

Mac Davis. Handsome dude back in the day. Died at 78 years of age, same as the just deceased singer Helen Reddy.

the tight pants >>>> the music

It's Hard To Be Humble, a novelty song, was his last big hit single.

R6 Don't know who this guy is but I love his tight pants.

In The Ghetto is a great song and still very relevant.

Here is a story he told about Elvis.

I always think of this when I hear "In the Ghetto"

From 1982...still fits.

Thunder-stealing BASTARD!

In OP's link, Steve Earle's son died at 38. Drugs, I assume.

That was a few weeks ago, R13.

Quien ??

Wow. Helen Reddy and Mac Davis are '70s variety show stars with small talent and outsized promoters.

How could any of these two turds actually made money otherwise? Did Rene Angellil's little girl posse infiltrate?

Woke.

Sadly, he played at Reagan's second inaugural gala, along with Donna Summer and Crystal Gayle.

Tony Orlando & Dawn- you in danger, girls.

Never heard of him. Guess his career was NOT international.

Anne Murray, you in danger gurl.

Oh god I feel so old. He was a nice guy who wasn't full of himself. He was EVERYWHERE on TV at his peak. You name the talk show, he was probably on it that week, the next week, the week after... His variety show was cheesy fun that was kind of a time capsule for that part of the 70s. That he wrote one of the best songs EVAH "In the Ghetto" was enough for me.

I'm curious how much he was worth (those net worth sites are worse than useless). He had some serious songwriting credits. I'm sure he wasn't starving.

It is sad enough when people die. Well, most people. OK, some people. But to die during a procedure meant to prolong life, that is a slap in the face to his family. I'm sure he would have been none to pleased either.

Bump.

hayseed charm

Worth millions, and he couldn't do anything about the unibrow.

Like Reddy he was omnipresent for about 15 minutes and then he was forgotten.

I would have never thought Olivia Newton-John would outlast Reddy and Davis.

He used to do a bit in his variety show -- audience members would throw out words and Mac would assemble them into a song, on the spot. As a kid, I thought that was so clever.

"Mac Davis. Handsome dude back in the day"

NO, Just no.

He wasn't modest...

[quote] Sadly, he played at Reagan's second inaugural gala, along with Donna Summer and Crystal Gayle.

Well somebody had to replace me

Apparently Helen Reddy's first single was written by Mac, how surreal that they'd both die on the same day

I liked his episode of the Muppet Show.

He morphed onto Aunt Bea. Why?

so sorry, RIP

he single handedly turned me gay as a little kid, I've been obsessed with hairy chests every since seeing this

Gay?

I would watch his show just to see how many buttons on his shirt he would undo.

North Dallas Forty was one of those movies that would play on HBO late at night. I would try to catch the locker room scenes after the rest of my family had gone to bed. RIP Mac.

Oh, dear!

Mac and Tom Jones were two of the guys where my early gaydar started to twitch around them.....due to those hairy, hairy chests.

I had a crush when I was a kid...those curly locks and hairy chest.

R.I.P.

R28 our lesbian syster Ann Hampton Callaway still does that same bit in hir swanky shows at Birdland and other tony New York boites.

Oh, stuff it r40 Miss Priss.

R44 Bitch, you're wrong.

The word isn't evolving. You're. Just. Fucking. W R O N G.

Though that is a cute excuse for when someone fucks up. That and “oh, it was a, uh, typo.”

At least own your error. We all fuck up sometimes.

FUCK HIM
