The songwriter, Mac Davis, was one of the most unassuming gentlemen in the industry. He was a friend of my first girlfriend's father. Ah to have Elvis sing one of your songs! And this may be his best. Always elicits a tear.

Elvis got his inspiration from the black community. He grew up very poor. His best friends as a boy were black. He loved everyone as equals.

@sylviaclaudette8689 3 years ago

Elvis was born and raised in extreme poverty on the ghetto in Mississippi. Noone wanted to sing this. Then Sammy Davis told them "Give it to Elvis, he'll sing it. He came from the ghetto".

Listen to him sing “If I Can Dream” he sang it right after Dr. King was killed. You can feel the pain Elvis felt. One of the most amazing performances I’ve ever seen.❤️

Elvis came from the Ghetto in Tupelo. His family were poor until he started performing.

Elvis had every right to sing this song. He came from the ghetto!

@evelynmabe7877 4 years ago

Elvis grew up in the Ghetto, his best friend was Black, and they remained close through out Elvis's life!

This song came out in 1968 & it is said that the song was "too untouchable"!! Elvis took this song & the rest has been history!! One of the best songs that he sang!! Everything about this song is true about the ghetto!!

@knew3355 4 years ago

“He sang it with reverence” is one of the most accurate ways to describe the delivery of this song that I’ve ever heard, I’ve never thought of that word for it but yes, it is spot on. It’s almost as if he was paying tribute to the countless mothers and sons this song portrays. Thank you both for your discussion.

You could hear the emotion in Elvis's voice, because he had been raised poor. Mac Davis wrote "In the Ghetto" and he does a gr8 job of singing it as well. Elvis sang "Kentucky Rain" written by Eddie Rabbitt (RIP Eddie) and had a hit with it; you might want to check that one out as well.

We must not forget that the Ghetto is NOT only in America people. Women all over the world are experiencing this tragedy today.
Remember that!

@timothysarris9742 3 years ago

I’m 65. When I was 25-30 no black person ever liked Elvis till they found out he was probably the best singer/ entertainer that ever walked planet Earth!

Elvis on social commentary? "If I Can Dream" used to close his 1968 TV special. Specially written for that purpose, the writer, Earl Brown used parts of Dr. Martin Luther Kings "I have a dream" speech that he delivered in Washington DC in 1963 to great effect. The power of the lyric and the passion of Elvis' performance makes that very special!

@dianeessex300 4 years ago

As a young child, Mac Davis had a friend who lived in the ghetto, and he didn't understand about the disparity between the lower and middle income neighborhoods and it had always bothered him, so he wrote the song to raise awareness.

@CaptainBakerJason 4 years ago

The song was written by singer-songwriter Mac Davis and original titled “The ViciousCircle” was released by Elvis in ‘69 as “In the Ghetto”.

Elvis was advised against this recording this song. He rejected management and the label and felt he must record this song. Sadly, still pertinent to everyone around the world who knows the cycle the ghetto perpetuates for those that remain, generation after generation.

Elvis grew up in a share croppers shack in a very poor black neighborhood. He was the only white kid in his Baptist Church so they put him in the Choir. He had a right to sing this song and his heart was in it.
He recorded over 200 Gospel songs. He never saw colour, race or religion. The only one he loved more than his Mother was God.
When his show sold out in Dallas they told him not to bring those 3 black women and just leave them at home. He told them he was okay with that and he would watch the show from home with them. Elvis made them put the ladies in a Cadillac and drive them around the arena in front of him.
He was a good man and the only white man called a, the bad N word in the South where they smashed all of his records. He started fighting for equality in the 50’s when no one else was game to. Elvis was someone we can all love.

Elvis grew up in the Tupelo ghettos, he lived this. he was a great story teller and advocate for equality

I cried when I first heard that song. My older brother played it for me when I was 14. I was at his apartment and he sat me down on his stairs and put this Elvis record on his turntable and as I heard the lyrics, tears stated flowing. It's a poignant song.

Elvis grew up dirt poor, rural dirt poor. Unfortunately places like Chicago, Philadelphia, L.A. and New York this song still rings true. Chicago has extremely violent weekends.
Great reaction gentleman
