- Decided to cover one of my most favorite song by Elvis Persley.
I love the lyrics in this song..It's amazing how relevant they are still on this day..Enjoy
Live recording with my guitar and my mic.

This song was written by Mac Davis and recorded in 1969.
LYRICS
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks the rules
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

The Ghetto was the only song by Elvis which presented a social message. A song where he expressed his beliefs. The rest of his songs were all about love. Well done Mani.
That's true Ed! Thank you!!

On Mars - you are bigger than Elvis. They like Elvis too - but still, they like El-Manny as they call you, better. BEAUTIFULLY SUNG, my Martian Brother-man! The story the songs is a moving one for sure and you impart that message perfectly, in song. Massive Applause!!!!
Of course they like El Manny! (shhh..between us..who is Elvis anyway!!!) Thank you a ton Dave!
WOW .............I loved your cover of this Elvis song.........this was wonderful my brother...........thumbs skywards #36 2 13 21........I sang his song can't help falling in love with BrunoOutlaw playing the piano........you did an awesome job ............Mark
Thank you Mark. It means a lot my friend!
@@manolisvlog never stop singing man......I've been a fan of yours since day1.......👍Mark
Awesome singing, bro!! Powerful and moving rendition! Such a great song. I recently watched a bunch of you tubers reacting to Elvis’s live version of this song. The reactors are shocked by the power of the song.
Thank u for sharing this great performance. Have a splendid time ☕️☕️✨✨☮️☯️🎼🎼👍
Thank you for this great comment Todd! Really glad you liked it and thank for all the support!
An Elvis cover always rocks! Great rendition Manolis!
Thank you so much Gulliver!
AH-MAZING! You know I take my Elvis seriously. Brother, this was STUNNING! You had me captured from the very first note! I stopped everything; everything came to a stand still, as I marveled at your extraordinary vocals and striking guitar playing! One of the hallmarks of an exceptional musician is the ability to grab one's attention; to hold it; and capture it within the magic of the performance. I think you absolutely have done it here! You dazzle with a single guitar, vocals, and a live mic! If this doesn't reflect your brilliance, I don't know what does! As a card carrying Elvis fan, I say: BRAVO!!! You nailed this! HUGE thumbs up, my friend!
Wow!! Thank you a million, thank you tons, thank you so so much Mike!! I know that you love Elvis and your comment has a double meaning to me!! Hope you're doing well! Stay safe and crazy!
Another great cover. You really have a beautiful voice. Best regards. André
Thank you so much Andre for your kind words!
Goodness......I'm amazed by how awesome this sounds - your voice is perfect, and the guitar sounds huge!!! This is a standout performance my friend - first class!!!
