When Elvis sang that song, it was a hit because that was Elvis! Elvis was born in the ghetto. Lived in the Ghetto. Then moved to government project housing which actually back then was still in many areas considered the ghetto but was a step up from where he was born .

Yep! I always wondered what happened to him. I used to like his show he had, his movies, too. But I saw him on TV, New Year's Eve, Times Square New York singing a song, I think called I'm Back, so I assume that meant he was making a comeback. Then I didn't hear anything else about him. Now, I never watched much TV after I was 15, so if he was on TV, I could have easily miss him.

Every since I was old enough to own my feelings and understand the stories behind a song, this is one that I cry over everytime I hear it. I grew up in the ghettos of Chicago. I've witnessed murder and the bloody streets the next day. I've seen a mother running up our street screaming and crying and just grieving like I've never seen since. That street was the 5300 block of Hermitage Avenue. I was born in 1965 at Cook County Hospital, this song still sends me back to smells, sounds and events like it was just yesterday.

I met Mac Davis back in 1978 when I was a 17-year-old busboy at my hometown country club in Henderson, KY. He and his band had just entered our club's "19th Hole" bar after a round of golf and some of the local members swarmed around their table making small talk. Mr. Davis politely excused himself from the group and walked up to the bar where I stood in my ugly yellow-gold busboy jacket, keeping vigil for members' needs for water or butter. I'll never forget it. Mr. Davis ordered his drink from the bartender and then turned to me with a nod and warm smile and asked how my day was going. Somehow, I managed to reply and summoned the courage to ask if he had a good round of golf. He nodded and (I believe) he said something along the lines of "Yes, sir. Pretty fair." ~ Now, this was 40 years ago and I will NEVER forget the warmth and generosity of this huge celebrity. I now live in Texas and am personal friends with 3 different international female singing stars and I have repeated this story to each of them, citing Mac Davis as a shining example of celebrity generosity. And I would just like to say that, if you're reading this, Mr. Davis, THANK YOU for the warmth and kindness you once showed a zit-faced 17-year-old busboy! "He" has never forgotten and will remember to his dying day. Now that I think about it, I believe it was actually 1977, right before "North Dallas Forty" was released. And I was 16, not 17 as I first mentioned. 🤔

Thank you for sharing this. It was just beautiful really appreciate it.Grew up with Elvis. Was born in Dayton,Ohio. Evis came their in June 1956. I was 9 years old. In fact he came to Dayton at least 4 times in his life span. The last was in June I believe 1977 right before he died. He was just an amazing person. I continue to be saddened over his untimely death. He was much to young. I do believe he would have went on to marry Ginger A. She was also an amazing beautiful young person,of a tender young age of 20 years old. People want to pass over her but she was with him in his last days. Elvis gave her the most beautiful engagement ring. Believe he was ready to settle down. He was just a little over 40 and believe men don't grow up until their 40. LOL! I am just thankful I grew up in the Elvis era and understood what was going on with him. I was there! TCB💞

An awesome interview and so inspiring to see such a humble individual in this self absorbed narcissistic society we live in today. A great story and and fabulous song! Thanks!

I remember buying "In the Ghetto" as a 45 record. Played it over & over. Never knew Mac Davis wrote it!
