McGavock Dickinson Gayden "Mac" Gayden is an American rock and country singer, songwriter, musician and producer. He is also president of Wild Child Records formed in 2004.
Gayden was born in Nashville, Tennessee. In the early 1970s, he helped establish two critically acclaimed bands, Area Code 615 (signed with Polydor) and Barefoot Jerry (signed with Capital Records). He played guitars and keyboards and was on vocals. Gayden left Barefoot Jerry in 1972 to form his own band Skyboat. In between those albums Mac produced an album on Dianne Davidson "Baby", Steve Young "To Satisfy You".
Gayden's biggest hit as a writer is considered to be the song "Everlasting Love", which he co-wrote with Buzz Cason, recorded originally by Robert Knight, a Top 20 hit in the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967. It became a #1 hit in the United Kingdom when covered by the Love Affair in January 1968.

Gayden wrote part of the song when he was just 5 years old on his Grandmother's piano. And this song is one of two that has had hit status every decade for the last four. Mac was performing at a Fraternity house at Vanderbilt, when on break he heard the voice of Robert Knight at another Frat house, he ran down introduced himself and got together with Robert to write a song for his voice. He then proceeded to meet with Robert, and finish up the song with a friend Buzz. Mac is known for his R & B hits and influences
