Dont Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, Im gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. – Mac Davis
If it was just me and Elvis one on one, which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him, it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy. Easy laugh, nice guy. – Mac Davis
I didnt have a lot of communication with Elvis. You had to go through a barricade to get to Elvis. It was people hanging on every word, and I felt very uncomfortable a lot of times. – Mac Davis
There was a chance for me to write one song for the section where Elvis sat in his black leather outfit and sang the old hits. At eight oclock the next morning I had written Memories. – Mac Davis
When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing – and listen to her recordings – it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadnt had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me. – Marlo Thomas
