Morris Mac Davis (born January 21, 1942) is a country music singer, songwriter, and actor, originally from Lubbock, Texas, who has enjoyed much crossover success. His early work writing for Elvis Presley produced the hits "Memories", "In the Ghetto", "Don't Cry Daddy", and "A Little Less Conversation". A subsequent solo career in the 1970s produced hits such as "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me". He also starred in his own variety show, a Broadway musical, and various films and TV shows.
Davis graduated at 16 from Lubbock High School in Lubbock, Texas. He spent his childhood years with his sister Linda, living and working at the former College Courts, an efficiency apartment complex owned by his father, T.J. Davis. Davis describes his father, who was divorced from Davis's mother, as "very religious, very strict, and very stubborn". Though Davis was physically small, he had a penchant for getting into fistfights. "In those days, it was all about football, rodeo, and fistfights. Oh, man, I got beat up so much while I was growing up in Lubbock," Davis said in a March 2, 2008, interview with the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal newspaper. "I was 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighed 125 pounds. I joined Golden Gloves, but didn't do good even in my [own] division." After he finished high school, Davis moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where his mother lived, to get out of Lubbock.
He has married three times and has three children: Joel Scott, Noah Claire, and Cody Luke.
Marriages:
Fran Cook: 1963–1968[6] (divorced); one son, Joel Scott
Sarah Barg: 1971–1976 (divorced)
Lise Kristen Gerard: 1982–present (two children, Noah Claire and Cody Luke)
At 21, he married a Georgian, Fran Cook, and when their son, Joel, was born a year later, he shifted from playing rock bands to learning the music business via Liberty Records' publishing division. The Liberty job got him to Los Angeles and made it easier to "pitch his own tunes" to record producers. "One day Fran decided to do her own thing and she wanted me to do mine." They divorced, and she returned to Atlanta, where she still lives with Joel.
Mac next met Sarah Barg, then 16 and living in his apartment building with her mother. Two years later, they were married. "We talked about having a family, but I was waiting for her to grow up," he says. She left him in 1976 for Glen Campbell and had one child (Dillon) with Campbell, whom she also left shortly after Dillon's birth. "Obviously, I was right," Davis once stated.
In 1980, Davis started to date a young nurse, Lise Gerard. They married in 1982 when she was 24, and they subsequently had two children.
Mac Davis passed away on September 29, 2020 with his family at his side.
