国籍：美国 出生地：德克萨斯州拉伯克 生日：1942 年 1 月 21 日 逝世日期：2020 年 9 月 29 日 名称：Mac Davis 全称：Morris Mac Davis 简介：by Jason Ankeny At his commercial peak in the mid-70s, Mac Davis was one of Americas most popular entertainers, a countrypolitan-styled singer and actor who found considerable success in both fields. Born Scott Davis on January 21, 1942, in Buddy Hollys hometown of Lubbock, TX, he began performing in local rock groups while still in his teens. After moving to Georgia, Davis first broke into the music business in 1962, when he was hired by the Chicago-based record label Vee-Jay as their Atlanta-based regional manager. After joining the Liberty label three years later, in 1967 he moved to Los Angeles to head the companys publishing arm, Metric Music; in addition to running Metrics day-to-day operations, he also began composing his own songs, with Glen Campbell, Bobby Goldsboro, Lou Rawls, and Kenny Rogers & the First Edition among the artists recording his work. In 1968, Elvis Presley recorded Davis A Little Less Conversation, and soon after the King was requesting more of his work. After notching a Top 40 hit with Davis Memories, Presley reached the Top Five in 1969 with the songwriters In the Ghetto, a single from the landmark From Elvis in Memphis LP. Davis also arranged the music for Presleys first television special before signing his own recording contract in 1970. In that year, he released his first chart single, Whoever Finds This, I Love You, from his debut album, Song Painter. In 1972, Davis scored a number one pop hit with Baby, Dont Get Hooked on Me, which also reached the country Top 20. His crossover success continued throughout the decade, with singles like 1974s Stop and Smell the Roses, 1975s Burnin Thing, and the following years Forever Lovers scoring with listeners in both camps. Between 1974 and 1976, Davis hosted a musical variety show for NBC television, followed by a string of specials; in 1979, he also starred in the film North Dallas Forty with Nick Nolte. Davis success continued in the early 80s; Its Hard to Be Humble, the title track of his 1980 album, was the first of four consecutive Top Ten country hits that culminated with his biggest country single, Hooked on Music, the next year. In 1980, he also starred in a TV movie, Cheaper to Keep Her. However, a co-starring role opposite Jackie Gleason and Karl Malden in 1983s disastrous The Sting II effectively ended Davis career in Hollywood, and by 1985, he had recorded his last Top Ten hit, I Never Made Love (Till I Made Love With You). In 1990, Davis made a comeback as a songwriter, co-authoring Dolly Partons hit White Limozeen; that same year, he also took over the title role in the Broadway hit The Will Rogers Follies. Will Write Songs for Food, his first LP in nearly a decade, appeared in 1994. 从艺历程：莫里斯·麦克·戴维斯（1942 年 1 月 21 日 - 2020 年 9 月 29 日）是美国词曲作者、歌手、表演者和演员。他出生于德克萨斯州拉伯克，作为一名跨界艺术家取得了成功， 在他的早期职业生涯中，他为猫王埃尔维斯·普雷斯利写过歌，为他带来了热门歌曲《回忆》、《在贫民窟》、《爸爸别哭》和《少说话》。随后在 1970 年代开始个人演艺生涯，创作了《宝贝别迷上我》等热门歌曲。戴维斯还主演了他自己的综艺节目、百老汇音乐剧以及各种电影和电视节目。戴维斯在亚特兰大定居后，组织了一支名为 Zots 的摇滚乐队，并为 OEK 唱片公司制作了两首单曲，由 OEK 老板奥斯卡·基尔戈管理和推广。 戴维斯还曾在Vee Jay唱片公司（吉恩·钱德勒、杰瑞·巴特勒和迪·克拉克等 R&B 明星的发源地）担任地区经理，后来成为Liberty 唱片公司的地区经理。
