Also wrote "In the Ghetto" which Elvis made a hit out of. Also starred in North Dallas Forty. link

I hope Mac got full song writing royalties on "In the Ghetto". That wasn't always the case with Elvis, as his manager "Colonel" Parker usually insisted on half. Dolly famously refused to let Elvis record "I Will Always Love You" for that very reason. So, she didn't have to split the royalties with Elvis when Whitney recorded it. As Bill Monroe said to Ricky Skaggs, "I just got a powerful check…" Great song, by the way.

And played a private eye in "Cheaper To Keep Her". "Lord,it's hard to be humble,but I'm doin' the best that I can" Rest easy,Mac,and thanks.
