Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto (Live)

[@JamesSmith-rf3qx]

Who's in 2023 and still respecting this song

[@JudyHickscount]

You would be surprised. They feel what he sang. Mankind has still not risen to Elvis’ level of concern, but he did and continues to make a difference.

[@mikeyg6631]

Grew up in a Portuguese house and only 2 things exist God and Elvis

[@miguelmartins6439]

Mesmerising.

[@miguelmartins6439]

To me this never gets old. Not to be pedantic, but there's something "universal" about this song--we all have our ghettos

[@vasilispatsalidis5683]

Everybody.

[@mikeyg6631]

Happy 2024!!! This isn't only one beautiful song. It's a true story of life!!

[@DavePhillips-ju2bn]

What a great song! Man is Elvis missed! Never be anything close! Rest in eternal peace 🙏

[@vilmamoro1809]

Will never get fed up of listening when Elvis sings! Pure heaven!!

[@Hoguitarthereal]

Elvis THE KING Too short also talked of the ghetto

[@sandrabentley8111]

Chicago 50 plus years later, the same. Love this song, just so profound and Elvis's voice and demeanor is so perfect.

[@BoomBustProfits]

CHicago is even worse today after 50+ years...wonder why? same team is in charge...seems like most of the cities they control have continuously declining living standards while the Kleptocrats/Leftists/RINOs that are in control grow continuously wealthy...

[@burdeo2313]

This song is incredible. How have I never heard of this before? I literally never knew how amazing Elvis’ music was. 25 and learning something new everyday!

[@JudyHickscount]

Never stop learning! I am thankful that the Lord directed you to my KZbin channel. Check out some of my Elvis documentaries. You will learn a lot more. I promise. Oh, Mac Davis wrote “In The Gehtto,” but he said that Elvis added “…and his mama cried,” which made the whole song.

[@candyr85]

His manager didn’t want him singing this because it was a “message song” and getting into politics. This song became a top 10 hit in the states and Europe/Australia etc 😊

[@pamelaingham3209]

@@candyr85 Typical Parker reaction!

[@JayToor89]

The drummer is outstanding here

[@brendabooher6683]

The words in this song touches my heart. Sad that so many are born in the ghetto. I wish we lived in a world whre the babies didn't grow up and haft to steal to eat. They live in a place where they haft to learn to fight to survive and many are forced to join gangs thus putting a gun in their hands. It's so sad cause many do die, and the Mther's cry.

[@JudyHickscount]

I agree with you. It was always heavy on Elvis’ heart, having grown up in poverty. The Colonel didn’t want him to sing controversial songs, but he was determined because he wanted everyone to have a chance to get out. If I Could Dream was his same cry. What it boils down to is that God makes us equal, but man’s sin nature determines where grow up based on everyone’s choices in life. Our sin nature is at fault.

[@thomasdonovan6946]

Elvis’s “The Ghetto” is a most moving, poignant repeated life, or is it tragedy story, that 50 years later remains an ever constant for youth everywhere living in “The Ghetto”. So what needs to change - fill in the blank.

[@JudyHickscount]

So what needs to be changed? Man’s sinful hearts! Elvis’ passionate words in all three of these songs addresses this issue.

[@JudyHickscount]

The need for the heart of Jesus Christ!

[@paul-e6s1g]

Elvis using his platform for a song like this,why he's the king folks!

[@MrRdh567]

This song is so profound. Elvis died when I was very young, however I was always drawn to this song before I knew what it was about. It held true then, it holds true now. I don't know if "ghetto" is proper terminology is this day and age. However poverty in the inner city is still here in 2021. Sad. Chicago is a mess.

[@JudyHickscount]

So true. Elvis came from poverty and against the advice of his manager spoke out and recorded songs expressing the wrong of man to man (racism and poverty). Watch my video documentaries Elvis Pressley--Who Said What?, Why Elvis?, and the ten part series "Elvis Presley--A Man Who Made A Difference"

[@chloerodgers692]

I was 15. My mom was devastated. He was a gift to us all….

[@jkaravis]

I always sing this when we're driving through the bad parts of town.

[@brendabooher6683]

Honestly, this is such a great song that touches my heart, and noone else sings it like Elvis. Such an incredible and beautiful person. Elvis is still the best entertainer and I am still listening to EP in 2023.

[@JudyHickscount]

What makes it even more special is Mac Davis’s is comment regarding the song that he wrote. I saw this on a video and Mac was telling about writing In The Ghetto, but that Elvis added added ‘and his mama cried,’ which made the song. I cannot find it now, but maybe you can.

[@gw2891]

And still people go hungry … he was way ahead of his time I so wish the world could just stop being so selfish 😩

[@JudyHickscount]

I totally agree! Hungry, abused children of any race breaks my heart and makes it difficult to swallow my own food.

[@wendychapmon2019]

Amem

[@rbf100]

One of Elvis' best.

[@enricobarigazzi798]

What a voice the King. Goosebump. Simply marvellous.

[@JudyHickscount]

Amen! For eternity!!

[@JudyHickscount]

Where are you from?

[@thejbros3287]

He didn’t deserve the torcher he had to go through😢

[@donbyman-rv9ly]

He is the best song writer ever sad ass song I cry every time I hear this song

[@Makonen442]

Song writer??? No Elvis wasn't. African American Otis Blackwell wrote his songs...and Mac Davis.

[@alfalfa5271958]

Elvis did not write any songs he just sang them!

[@rh8888]

Omg ❤❤❤❤

[@elifsolmaz6273]

Still here listening one of my fave song from Elvis ❤️✨

[@estebaneroben4340]

Elvis is the best king for ever from Marseille France ! Elvis tu es le roi !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ramonaholmes617]

This song has new meaning now that we really live in the ghetto 😮

[@dianasweetpea2561]

I was in elementary school when Elvis died... I cried

[@Cartier____]

I’ve loved this song since I was about 15 and started to understand English and what it meant. Still love it today. More and more each time. Timeless, just like everything Elvis ❤

[@nickxcore74]

Elvis knew what was going on in the world and could see all of the injustices that was happening to those who were being discriminated against, mainly blacks and working class people in general. Sadly, you become a product of the environment that you’re born in.

[@JudyHickscount]

So true!!!

[@pynzlyngdohnonglait6698]

My mom and dad were fond of Elvis Presley's songs... I have both loving parents with fond of Elvis's songs

[@preciousdevere288]

[@growitheflow]

The karate yell at the end is the best lol 😂

[@ireneherrero8835]

Hermoso Elvis ❤😢

[@marciabrasileiro7554]

I loved it!! How can a mega talent as Elvis have left so prematurely!!!He was fantastic.

[@JudyHickscount]

Marcia Brasileiro Marcia, he sang his heart out for his Lord and his fans. Because his multiple health issues resulted in chronic pain, death was merciful, but he left us so much of himself. It is like the pastor of the black church he attended said, “He was a bundle of energy set to music and that echo will never die.” He made more of an impact in his few short years than a multitude of people do in a lifetime.

[@Hammer2488]

@Hippie Style well he was elvis you are absolutely right but due to how big a name he was they'd do that but it's their fault for not stopping him and giving them out

[@Bodomi]

An awful diet, drugs and no support from those near him who had every chance to help him for many years.

[@vilmamoro1809]

He IS still fantastic to this day and forevermore!!!!

[@Annie41069]

He was an addict and died from untreated addiction. What a horrible tragedy. We loved him to death.

[@snapplehubbs]

R.I.P. Mac Davis

Who listen still this in 2025 👇

[@pynzlyngdohnonglait6698]

Both my parents were lovers, they loved Elvis Presley songs

[@alexandrakrause8679]

I will listen it always. A very great song!

[@cortellazzi1606]

Eterno Rei do Rock ❤

[@skiptowne8533]

He sounds great. So moving. But, I would have not done the "show biz" ending. I would have liked if they had slowed it down, at the end, and then had a soft, guitar outro.

[@vivianramage7361]

My favorite!

[@Nancy-sv8wp]

❤❤❤❤

[@xxboonisbadfortnitexx1549]

Nice

[@ericabjean6481]

[@ianoshaughnessy2580]

[@alfalfa5271958]

Elvis did not write the song it was written by Mac Davis Elvis just recorded it!! The feeling of the song came from Mac Davis!
