Biography & Career
Davidson was originally born on to Dr. James Allie Davidson (1908–1984) and Elizabeth Emma Beck (1908–1996), both Baptist ministers, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He lived in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts and graduated from White Plains High School in White Plains, New York and then entered Denison University. Davidson considered following in his parents' footsteps, but ultimately decided that he "would rather sing about love than preach it." Davidson worked in situation comedies, game shows, variety shows, and talk shows. In 1964 he appeared in the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of The Fantasticks with Ricardo Montalbán and Susan Watson. In the summer of 1966, he was the host of two prime-time variety hour shows, The Kraft Summer Music Hall and The John Davidson Show, the latter of which included George Carlin and Richard Pryor.
