WATCH: Vince Gill Pays Tribute To Mac Davis With Emotional Cover Of ‘In The Ghetto’

While flipping through the channels last night, I came across the Grand Ole Opry on Circle TV. Vince Gill was about to perform, so of course, I stopped channel surfing.

Vince was speaking about the recent loss of his friend, country legend Mac Davis. He then introduced a special tribute to Davis: a cover of ‘In The Ghetto.’

We all know that Vince Gill could sing the phone book and it wouldn’t suck, but this was one of the most stirring performances I’ve ever heard from him…
