Candi Staton - In The Ghetto - Billboard Live in Tokyo - July 1, 2012

Candi Staton performs her 1973 Grammy Award nominated hit "In the Ghetto" at the Billboard Live club in Tokyo, Japan on July 1, 2012. The most interesting part of the video is the song set-up where she talks about how she came to record the song that had already been a hit by Elvis Presley a few years before.

[@iayyam]

We don't want to live our blues either.

She sounds like like Kamala Harris when she speaks the words instead of singing them. Her voice cracks and leaves the impression that she can't stretch a note. Sorry, but not impressed with this version.
