Why did it take 10 years to present Elvis the award? Just like the Grammy’s he was never given the honor and respect he so rightfully deserved.

Better late than never... RIP, Mac Davis...

Anne Murray was not his favorite female singer ! He loved the song “ snowbird “ and even recorded it himself ! Elvis loved Odetta and Brenda Lee as far as female artists !

[@stege9979]

Elvis never cared about rewards, he cared about his fans...and they cared about him. Simple as that for the King!

ELVIS is the greatest artist ever. ❤🇺🇲❤️

IMHO, EP deserved Grammys for all the genres of music whose halls of fame he was inducted into....not just Gospel.

[@ErnstTCB]

Elvis was far above and beyond all of them.

Mac Davis wrote some wonderful songs..Memories, In The Ghetto, Don't Cry Daddy, and A Little Less Conversation.
