Memories of Mac
Bought this cd to share with my granddaughter. So many of Mac's good songs. She's a fan now; as her granny always has been. He was a genuinely nice personality. His "Hard to Be Humble" has brought us many laughs and "Watching Scotty Grow" describes a parent's joy in raising a child. You can feel the love and awe. "Stop and Smell the Roses" has a message for all of us. Would love to hear how Mac is spending his time these days....

Missing two songs
Where's "Hard To Be Humble" & "Hooked On Music"? you can't have a complete greatest hit's without those two songs sheesh.

And The Autumn Leaves Reminded Him Another Summers Come And Gone
When it comes to music; (whether it was one year ago or fourty or more years ago) I always remember a remarkable talent and Mac Davis is one of those artists with a remarkable talent and most of the musical talent that I am familiar with and enjoy as a fan;( whether it is Mac Davis, Keith Urban, etc ) there is one particular song by that artist that is a favorite of mine and sometimes that favorite song can be very hard to find; especially when it charted in 1970. When it comes to Mac Davis; that song just happens to be the beautiful, Whoever Finds This; I Love You. Some time ago I purchased Mac's, A Golden Classics Edition, CD and that ballad is on it HOWEVER it did not sound like the version I remember so I kept searching and the search stopped right here. This, The Best Of Mac Davis, CD has the beautiful instrumental version of, Whoever Finds This; I Love You, I was looking for. I also noticed that Mac's inspirational, Stop And Smell The Roses, versions are different on these two CDs with this version also being the one I remember and prefer. I love both Disc's but this is the one I listen to mostly.
This CD also has the landmark classics, Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me, One Hell Of A Woman, and, Rock N Roll ( I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life ), on it also and I can relate to that last song somewhat; even though I am just a fan.
Mac's talent also shines here as he sings the gorgeaus ballads, Forever Lovers, I'll Paint You A Song, and the very uplifting and inspirational, ( If You Add ) All The Love In The World. Mac has a Children's Chorus backing him up on that one.....Fantastic.
Also being an extremely talented songwriter; Mac also wrote classic tunes for other artists including Elvis Presley. Three of them he wrote for Elvis are the timeless classics, In The Ghetto, Memories, and, Don't Cry Daddy, and Mac sings his own version of, In The Ghetto, on this CD. He is one of the great ones and my advise to you is if you want the instrumental version of, Whoever Finds This; I Love You, and the better version of, Stop And Smell The Roses, (at least it is to me) purchase this one or do like I did and purchase both this one and the, Golden Classics Edition, because there are very few duplicates between both and like I stated above; two of the duplicates are different versions anyway. I purchased this Disc from Amazon on March 4th of 2005 and it definitely doesn't accumalate any dust. It is that great !
