Mac Davis
In the late sixties, Davis's songwriting talent paid off: he wrote several hits for Elvis Presley, including "In the Ghetto," "Memories," and "Don't Cry Daddy." His 1968 breakout smash for Presley, "A Little Less Conversation," became popular again after appearing in the 2001 film Ocean's 11.
At the end of the 1970s, he moved to Casablanca Records, which was best known at the time for its successes with disco star Donna Summer and rock'n'roll band Kiss.

Davis became famous as a songwriter and got his start as an employee of Nancy Sinatra's company, Boots Enterprises, Inc. Davis was with Boots for several years in the late 1960s. During his time there, he played on many of Sinatra's recordings, and she worked him into her stage shows.
Parton and Davis didn’t just write together…they also sang together. They collaborated many times through the years, most notably on their 1989 duet “Wait ‘Til I Get You Home.” The song was featured on Parton’s White Limozeen album, which was produced by Ricky Skaggs.
In 1980, Davis hosted an episode of The Muppet Show. He performed "Baby, Don't Get Hooked On Me", "It's Hard To Be Humble", and "I Believe in Music".
I, Wanda Marie had the biggest crush on Mac Davis when I was younger :-)
