On behalf of everyone at BMI, we send our love and deepest condolences to Lise, their sons Cody, Noah and Scott, and the entire Davis family.”ĭuring a five-decade career, Davis made his mark as a songwriter, Grammy nominated recording artist, film actor, Broadway musical star, television personality and music publisher. On a personal note, Mac has been a longtime friend to BMI, to our former CEOs Frances Preston and Del Bryant, and to me. Beyond his extraordinary talent, Mac was a dedicated friend and advocate for songwriters everywhere. He was the songwriter behind some of the most iconic and timeless songs that transcend genres and generations and was named a BMI Icon in 2015. We are honored to have had Mac Davis as a member of the BMI family since 1964. Regarding the passing of the legendary artist, BMI President and CEO Mike O’Neill said, “Songwriting has lost one of the true greats today. I’m so blessed to have been one of his many friends.”
What a wonderful legacy he left all of us with his music. “He entertained and spread joy to so many people. “Thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for letting us know the man to whom you gave the most incredible talent,” shared Reba McEntire. Well-respected by industry peers, news of Davis’ death created an immediate outpouring of love and admiration for the artist.
