MM – 1969

“In the Ghetto” is a song written by Mac Davis and popularized by Elvis Presley in 1969. It tells the story of a child born into poverty and violence in the ghetto, and the cyclical nature of hardship that perpetuates from one generation to the next. The song became a significant hit for Elvis, marking a return to the charts for him after a period of less commercial success, and is noted for its socially conscious lyrics and passionate delivery.
