Many people don't know that Mac Davis wrote this song:

Mac had several hits (by other people) that he wrote.
Bigger than anything he recorded himself.

Will Anyone even mention when the 3rd tour drummer for Christina aguilera dies? Will anyone even know? Now its most stars and hired guns. Bands are a dying breed. Caring about music is a dying breed.

Never heard of either of them. Still, it's a sad day when we loose any talented musician anywhere and I'll offer my condolences to this who may have connected with the music these people made.
