Paul Davis had his biggest hit back in 1978 with the song “I Go Crazy” which stayed in the Billboard Top 100 for 40 weeks and was a Top 10 single. Despite the success he had, he was always a simple man, more comfortable at home than under the fame spotlight. Other of his songs include “Ride’em Cowboy” and “Do Right”

“He didn’t set out to be famous and he didn’t relish traveling and touring,” said Art Matthews, past owner of a local radio station. “He was very much a homebody. A nocturnal person who enjoyed people and his music. He was every bit as normal as everyone else whose talent happened to be associated with a high profile industry.”

Matthews said Meridian lost a great talent adding: “None of us are promised a tomorrow. Paul lived his life to the fullest each and every day.”

Here’s the video of his greatest hit “I Go Crazy”. Rest in peace Paul.

Paul Davis had a great deal of humility and musical talent. I recall his perhaps only Detroit concert performance at Meadowbrook Music Festival in 1982, when he was at the top of his career. The world has lost an outstanding singer-songwriter.

The texture of his music, the purity of his voice and the sincerity of his lyrics are something truly special and he will always be remembered for giving that to the world. It’s very rare to hear anything like that anymore, music that gives you chills and makes you FEEL. You can tell that he had love in his life and in his heart. Rock on in heaven Paul!
