Elvis grew up very poor & lived in Black Part of town & grew up with Black Kids from his neighborhood. He went to a Black Church with his friends & sang in the choir. It seems that’s where he started singing & dancing. That’s why he sang a lot of gospels because that was part of his roots. His backup singers included the Sweet Inspirations & one of these female singers was Whitney Houston’sMother. He was initially hated by White Racists because they thought some of his songs were influenced by Black Music which it was.

[@rustbeltwriter]

It's infuriating and heartbreaking that this song from my childhood could have been written today and is still true.

[@jayeginn5963]

Elvis was born in a 2 room shack of a house his dad built with money he borrowed from his boss on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. That's how dirt poor they were. He was one half of identical twins; the other boy - Jesse Garon - was stillborn. They were so poor, that Jesse Garon was buried in a shoebox in an unmarked grave. At Graceland they have a plaque with his name on it in his memory. Elvis always got along with the black community and learned a lot about music from his friends of color. Also, according to the one drop rule, Elvis would not be considered white, since he has Cherokee ancestors on both the Smith (his mother) and the Presley (his father) sides of the family. His paternal grandfather was not happy that his two sons, Elvis' father Vernon and his brother Vester, married two sisters, Gladys and Clettes who were known to have Cherokee blood in their family tree. But he was in denial about the Cherokee blood in his own family tree. As a child, Elvis already had many friends in the black community at the time his family was one of 4 "white" families that lived in the predominantly black neighborhood The Hill, just across from Shake Rag. His childhood friend Sam Bell said that some of the (black) kids in that neighborhood had lighter skin than Elvis (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOpdKyEgtuNjc0). One of Elvis' bodyguards once said that he thought it was a miracle Elvis got into Humes High School in Memphis, because it was "lily white". Elvis wanted to be more open about his Native ancestry, but his manager "colonel" Tom Parker (real name Andreas van Kuijk) was against it because he was afraid it might cost Elvis fans (and himself money). They did have Elvis play characters in his movies though where he had Native American blood (Flaming Star, G.I. Blues, Stay Away Joe). Once Elvis had his own (apprentice) job learning to be an electrician, he saved up his money and bought his clothes in the same style that many of his friends of color wore. He was called a (forgive me, just stating facts here) "n-lover" and got beaten up several times too. Later, when he was an established star, he would not perform at places where the members of color of his back-up band/orchestra weren't allowed.

[@elvistcb3521]

He sang it. Cause He felt it. He felt it. That's why he sang it. 👑♥️👑👌

[@carolynroberts1123]

ELVIS grew up in a black and poor community , He loved black people and as a child he played with black children and would sing with the older people. He never looked down on them, He loved all people, no one can take that away from Him.

53 years later and still as relevant as it was in 1969 when he recorded his song 😢😊

Not new to me and Elvis never once turned his head away because your people were his people. He was pure love and the world needed him longer than 42 years. Thank you.

He also grew up in the poor part of town. He was a twin, (the first born twin died at birth), knowing that he was an only child and was very protected by his Mother, she kept him near and always watched over him, the two were very close until her death, while he was in the army, he was about 22. 🙏✝❤🇺🇸

[@markwebb8879]

Nancy Sinatra tells the story of phoning Elvis to congratulate him on the birth of his daughter. She said he was bothered about the fact that his daughter would have a life that millions of others wouldn't have. She ended with "he particularly talked about the black kids." Two years later he was handed this song.

[@willgaines5651]

Such a powerful song that tells the story of the cycle of poverty, and so sad that Chicago and other inner cities have had this cycle in abundance for decades and it hasn’t gotten better. Elvis grew up impoverished and connected with this song. I think it speaks to his heart for those in need. Having been there, he never forgot what it was like.

Incredible song written by the late great Mac Davis. (1942-2020). Mr. Davis also wrote "Don't Cry Daddy" about a man whose wife leaves him, leaving him alone to raise their children. Thank you Mac,for offering this song to Elvis to record. "He recorded it, and I am glad he did."

Elvis sings with his heart and soul.The product is always a masterpiece.

[@susanbarco2579]

Interesting note: Mac originally offered the song to Sammy Davis Jr, but Sammy rejected it and told Mac to offer it to Elvis, since Sammy was raised privileged, and Elvis could do it justice because Elvis was raised dirt poor.

My Mom was 9mths pregnant (w me😊) when she was arrested while marching w MLK in front of a TN restaurant that didn’t allow blacks to dine inside. This was her 2nd favorite Elvis song & we heard it often growing up. Her 1st- If I Can Dream (look for the 68 Special, white suit video), and 3rd- Walk A Mile In My Shoes (look for live w/story video). All 3 songs were not only played often & early lol- they were mantras, models by which my parents raised myself & my siblings. How incredibly blessed we were!❤️ If you’ve not seen the minidoc (14mins) Elvis & The Black Community: That Echo Will Never Die, it’s a MUST. You’ll learn much about Elvis as both a person and a performer. Much shorter but also worthy: Paul Harvey’s The Rest of The Story: Elvis, Poor Boy & a Guitar. The song’s writer Mac Davis originally took the song to the late GREAT African American triple threat talent Sammy Davis Jr. He said- I’m sorry; I can’t sing this song. I don’t know how; I’ve never lived this way. But I know who has… take it to my friend Elvis Presley. It’s EXTRAORDINARILY sad so little seems to have changed😔 We are counting on your generation!!!!💔❤️‍🩹❤️ Another nice reaction; Thank You! Stay safe & love much💖

Elvis grew up poor in the small town of Tupelo, Miss. he didn’t grow up ”the ghetto”- maybe on proverbial wrong side of the tracks, but he had black friends f grew up in the Black church and was tremendously moved by the music ….BUT, the song was written by Lubbock, Texas’ own Mac David, who also grew up poor. Mac’s father worked with a black man he was friendly with, and he had a son near Mac’s age. The two became good friends & often played together but Mac said he didn’t understand why he couldn’t go into some of the stores & cafes. Mac grew up & left Lubbock for ShowBiz and his eyes were opened. He learned about ghettos, prejudice, Jim Crow and hate. He’d written a song about the vicious cycle thst keeps some people in the ghetto-born there, raised there, die there. In the late 60’s it all came together with final rendition, entitled “In The Ghetto” , and Elvis’ people bought the rights from Mac & made him a rich & prolific songwriter. If memory serves, due to all the racial unrest of the era, Elvis controlling handler, Colonel Tom Parker didn’t want him to produce this song, but Elvis fought him hard on the issue. Its one of Elvis’ ’ prettiest, most poignant songs But the song is not autobiographical for Elvis. He loved his Black brethren & adored gospel music, but he didn’t write this song.

The Ghetto, is a place many people around the world can relate to. I was born in Liverpool, England in 1970. We had nothing at all. I remember coming home from school with my brother, and we were hungry. Our father was gone. Our Mother worked late. The only thing in the house to eat was one egg in the fridge.
