Q : Why do you think Elvis is still so popular? I remember just sitting there in the golf cart for a long time and right out in the middle of the fairway and just going, wow, what a waste. Some have never even been accused of the harm that they caused. ‘In the Ghetto’, ‘Don’t Cry, Daddy’ and another song called ‘Poor Man’s Gold’, which they never did release.
Number one he was the prettiest man you ever saw in your life. Due to the sheer scale of this comment community, we are not able to give each post the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate. EIN - Thank you so much for talking to us, it has been a real thrill. The first time that I met Elvis was when I went over to the Live A Little, Love A Little filming where Elvis sang the song to the girl around the swimming pool. If he felt like singing he'd come down for a couple of hours and then he'd say, "OK, that's it for the night." EIN Website content © Copyright the Elvis Information Network. Truth be told, I even like "Charro"!
I didn't write that in there originally. I give him all the credit, him, and Johnny Carson, Sandy Gallin and Billy Strange for introducing me to Elvis.
Watch Queue Queue. He was always middle of the road when it came to controversy. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. You could get a single, take it over, put in on and listen to it and see if you wanted to buy it or not. You know 'Hurt' is my favourite Elvis song of all time. Back then we had gangs and violence in a few cities, now we have it in almost every American city. That kid born and raised in a ghetto is the boy the song talks about, whilst the term ghetto was just becoming to be commonly used. Q : When you wrote ‘Charro’ were you given a song title? His songwriting catalogue also includes Glen Campbell’s “Everything a Man Could Ever Need” and “Something’s Burning” performed by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. Note - If you enjoyed this interview with Mac Davis make sure you check out the FTD book 'Writing For The King'.
And said, "What?" "Memories" was a hit already. K.S - Mac is one of my favorite songwriters and he was a pleasure to speak with; he had some great stories to tell including one about playing "Don't Cry Daddy" to Elvis for the very first time and how the room went silent after he was done because Elvis was very moved by the song. Kenny Rogers & Mac Davis – Hard To Be Humble LIVE. Ernst Jorgensen interviewed by Ken Sharp. (Right:Myrna Smith & Sweet Inspirations during TTWII filming). I remember renting it on VHS as a kid, It’s pretty corny but the actress who plays Priscilla does a good job imo. MS - That's true, but being around Elvis a lot, the weight gain thing, I'd seen it a lot before and seen him look great and also not so great. In 2000, Davis was admitted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame before he entered the national Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006. There was a nice blend of just me and Kathy singing on those. It was just a song that I wrote. Q : What was your inspiration for writing ‘In the Ghetto’? I don’t see how you can have a life’. And there was about fifteen hundred screaming kids and mostly girls hanging around there and that’s when he first had ‘That’s All Right Mama’ out. Davis appeared in a number of TV exhibits and flicks, changing into an all-around entertainer previously few a long time. Myrna Smith passed away Christmas Eve: It is with great sadness that we have to report that Myrna Smith passed away on Christmas Eve 2010 around 11.49pm. I was thrilled (laughs) but I would still rather have heard Elvis sing the song with the original lyrics I wrote, even if he had just changed it from "I'll treat you like a kink" to "I'll treat you like a queen." MS - I remember one time when he was wearing a buttered leather suit with tight pants & tight jacket and Elvis was kinda' busting out of this thing! So what we did was decide that it was all too much and we just waited until we got to Las Vegas to find out what it was all about. Mack David was a well known songwriter but I didn't know that at the beginning. A : Elvis, I didn’t, actually nobody even dreamed of pitching it to him in the beginning. K.S - That's also another tough question, Piers. I didn't know at the time that it was a special song. (laughs) Years and years later I heard the original version when I saw the remake of Ocean's Eleven. I played it to him over there. I couldn't wait to sing it to Billy the next morning.
Q : Did Elvis ever tell you about ‘In the Ghetto’? I think all the interviews have their own interesting and compelling golden nugget or two of info about the creation of a song recorded by Elvis. Once again I didn't know. It's those odd little extras that made the individual concerts so special.
