Margaret Lee Davis (“Marlee”), also called “Peggy” by family members, has loved writing since she was six years old.  She began by writing poetry and stories, and for many years continued to do so.  Her church, her friends, and her family members often called on her to write poems for special occasions.  While raising her children, she worked with the youth at church.  During that time, she wrote three plays, which earned enough money to buy a church bus.  Eventually,  Marlee sold a poem to Warner Chappell to be used for greeting cards and church bulletins.  After that, her husband, Jerry, told her that if she could write poems and stories, she could write songs.  So Marlee tried her hand at song lyrics.  It wasn’t long before she hooked up with collaborators who put music to her lyrics.  Since then, she and some of her co-writers have had over a dozen record cuts.  Several of the songs remained in the top ten on charts in England, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, and on the former website, known as“MP3”.   In addition, three love songs were included on a wedding album; and child singer, Joey Pierson, sang a song by Marlee & Colleen Laylon on The Jenny Jones Show.  Her songs have also been used as “background” music in department stores.  Marlee resides in West Virginia with her husband and her “baby”, Buddy (a Yorkie).  She has three wonderful children, Gina, Kassi and Jeff; and seven grandchildren, which are among her greatest blessings.  Today, she enjoys writing for her church, but commercial songwriting is still very much in the picture.  Marlee, now in her 50’s, is still working on new songs and has several projects going.  “It’s not about money”, she says, “ it’s about the joy of sharing songs which God inspires me to write.”  Feel free to browse around and email us with questions.
