Mac Davis is one of the more prolific and successful songwriters in the last 50 years. He also wrote a number of songs for Elvis, including "In the Ghetto."
Of course, he also wrote "Rhinestone Cowboy" for Glen Campbell and that classic performed by CW McCall, "Convoy," but we probably shouldn't hold that against him.

Ah! Another Mac Davis fan! Thought I might be the only one left! Used to go see him in concert, and his favorite line was that he would sing a medley of his hit....then would sing In the Ghetto that he wrote for Elvis.
Still curious, did Rush play Baby Baby Don't get Hooked on Me or Oh Lord it's hard to be humble? Both seem appropriate! ;>)
And who can forget another Mac Davis classic.....I'm going to Build me a Bar in the Back of my Car And Drive Myself to Drink!! ;>)
