Mac Davis had a big hit in the 70s. "Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me."

Nope. Don't know why I know this...but I'm pretty sure that would be BJ Thomas.

OK, ignore me. I'm wrong.

That's what I get for being so sure of myself I didn't look it up. I had a teacher that used that song as an example of how terrible the world had become. She said it was BJ Thomas. She was a bit obsessed with the whole thing.

I'm going to have to reevaluate ALL my education now. LOL.

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.
