I really appreciate that you don't stop the music video that you're listening to the whole thing and then make comments
Elvis fought to record this song. He was told his career would tank if he recorded it. He went against everyone and recorded it anyway. He was a lovely, generous man who believed in people.
And also had a fetish for young girls
Im 63 years old snd have heard this song a million times. It still makes me cry. I just cant get thru it without tears.
Elvis grew up in the worst ghettos in Tupelo, Miss and Memphis, Tenn. He understood the pain of going hungry, a very hard life. If you look you can see the pain and sadness in his eyes, he lived this life. He never forgot where he came from.
Elvis was born 1935 and grew up poor during the depression. He grew up in a black neighborhood and went to a black church. Thanks for your reaction. Be Blessed.
Elvis grew up in a Tupelo, Mississippi ghetto; Dad, Vern, was in jail for bad checks. He sang in church...Gospel was his first love...he sang "That's All Right, Mama" in 1954, when a teenager for his Mother's birthday, at Sun Records. He was a Spec 4 in the Army, got out in 2 years. Released "Heartbreak Hotel" in 1956 to a massive amount of controversy from religious groups because of his movements. He made a string of musical romance movies, that he didn't want to do. Finally got a decent script for "King Creole", his only b&w movie. He just wanted to make music. His singing career took a dip when his wife left him, and the Beatles arrived, his "Comeback Tour" helped immensely. When he sang "In the Ghetto", which his manager thought would kill his career, he fought to sing it, (it was written by Mac Davis) and here we are...as relevent, and often played, today as it was in 1969, when it was released. Thank you for your great reaction.
In the new Elvis movie we learn that a Reverend told Elvis "that too dangerous to say; SING! So in a time of racial tension & social unrest ELVIS chose to sing "IN THE GHETTO" (against the advice of his manager & others) to put a spot light on an issue that he felt was important.
Elvis had the Holy Spirit inside of him, which made him LOVE all human beings!!
I know that's right ... 🙏✝️♥️🇺🇸
he felt the music in him

This isn't even one of Elvis' Top 100 performances. Check out the catalog. He's the GOAT. No. One. Comes. Close.
Thank you for not interrupting the song every 30 seconds. The expressions on your face shows you experiencing the song. As an old white lady, I find it so frustrating that we have not made more progress.
Elvis lived in poverty. I love that he doesn't mention race in this song.
Me too!
If this song is written from Elvis point of view. He grew up in a grimly blak neighborhood. His family was one of four white families.
No "In The Ghetto" without "If I Can Dream".
His message after MLK and Robert Kennedy were assassinated!
It's a must listen!
Thanks for your reaction
to this one! ♡
Now you know why they called him " THE KING "
50 years ago. He was threatened to get cancelled. He didn't care. Said he was putting out. Whitney Houston mom was one of his backup singers
"if i can dream" , 68 comeback special was a tribute to MLK. "Jailhouse rock" young raw Elvis. "Suspicious Minds" live 1970 in vegas.
It was a tribute to MLK AND Senator Kennedy (who had just been assassinated) Don't confuse Senator Kennedy with president Kennedy because some have when I made this comment on other reactions.
The song was written by Mac Davis in the late 60s, during the time of the riots (68-69). I was growing up 4 miles outside Detroit at the time. Tough times inthe cities with Vietnam, JFK/MLK/RFK killings, and the other movements. Elvis won a Grammy in six diff categories including gospel. He was one of a kind. I love seeing people’s reaction to those who have never seen him. Well done. Consciousness expansion.
This song debut on June 27 1969. Elvis grew up in the ghetto and so beloved by the black community and black entertainers. Thanks for sharing. Katie 😊🌸
Also listen to Louie Armstrong, What a Wonderful world
This was done, I believe, in the late 1960's!! As a minority group, I felt this all my life and respected this man for singing about it back in the day!! What you do with it now, is up to you!!
Elvis just didn't sing a song, he put his heart and soul in them ! You can feel it when he sings !
Elvis grew up in the ghetto. He was one of the only white kids in a black neighborhood. So he can relate, he knows what he’s talking about. He lived it.
One of four white families
This kind of song, that tells a story, is called a "Ballad". This one is one of the greatest that came out of the '60's, 1969.
I remember it well and it still makes me cry.
Elvis grew up in a predominantly black area, his friends were black he sang gospel. Some people didn’t want his backing singers in the venue he had to sing, he would refuse to sing without his black backing singers ( one of the was Whitney Houston’s mum) he broke all boundaries and insisted singing his songs with his group. Remember at the time there was still segregation, he was loved by the black community and non racist others!
Elvis, born in 1935 in Tupelo Miss, passed in 1977 at age 42. Grew up dirt poor as an only child, moved to Memphis at age 14 w his parents. Grad HS, 1953 and drive a truck for an electric Co, while studying to be an electrician. In 1954, paid $4 to cut a 2 sided record at Sun Studios, to give to his mom. A few months later he was called by the studio to cut a record, That’s All Right My Mama, which was a hit song in some areas of the South. He toured in southern states and the Louisiana Hayride, where he drove the females wild with his looks and moves. He was spotted by Colonel Tom Parker, who talked Elvis and his parents into signing a manager contract. Then Parker promoted Elvis to RCA which bought out his contract with Sun Records. Elvis first song in Jan. 56, at age 21 was Heartbreak Hotel, which had a different sound that the usual music at the time. A well publicized Elvis biopic movie opens in theaters on June 22, and there is talk about it winning awards. Tom Hanks, plays Elvis’ manager and Elvis is played by Austin Butler.
When it's all said and done, in the end, Elvis was a sweet, caring soul who cared about people. Sadly, Fame destroys all good folk. 👍
Elvis with Walk a mile in my shoes is a good one to react to.
RIP, Elvis. People were surprised Elvis didn't have as much money as they thought when he died. He pretty much gave away his wealth to those in need.
Elvis was told by his manager we don't do message songs ,but he kicked out his manager and his people and recorded this song ,and if I can dream , and said from now on I will only do songs that mean something to me
Most of his songs were not "message songs." He said you've got to give the people some entertainment. Check out some of his interviews, especially one in which he spoke of his upcoming Hawaii concert. He specifically said there would be no songs with a message.
Elvis, told them, " if I can't move, I can't sing " Elvis moved because, he could feel the music, they didn't understand that back then, they thought he just wanted to be vulgar, but that wasn't true! That's why he danced in most of his songs! You'll understand better if you watch the new movie of Elvis' life from childhood until his death in 1977! RIP Elvis!
ELVIS WAS THE GREATEST SINGER IN MY ERA EVER!!!! HE GREW UP POOR, AND HE KNEW THE SONG WAS RIGHT ON!!!
Written by the late, great Mac Davis, who based it on the experiences of a childhood friend of his.
To learn more about his background, search UA-cam for “Elvis and the Black Community- that echo will never die”, both Parts 1 & 2. He was born into poverty and grew up in poor, primarily black neighborhoods in Memphis, TN. He sang gospel at a black Baptist Church while in high school. Elvis was connected with black culture throughout his life.
His gospel songs are Fantastic! Some of his best to listen to.... You will not believe what you will hear!!!!
Many who say he was culturally appropriating black culture are ignorant. He lived this right along side of other black neighbors & friends. He lived in the ghetto & often times his family was helped by his black neighbors w/ food etc. He respected & appreciated the beauty that he saw around him in clubs & tent meetings. Take skin color out of the equation & these were people living their lives. He was influenced like any person in this time & place. Enuf said.❤
He was brought up I'm the ghetto I'm black area . He respected all people
Chicago is consistent, 50 years later this song still applies.
This song came out in 1969. Col. Parker didn't want him to do this song ,but sang it anyway cause he grew up poor. He only lived in a two room shack.
Nobody tells a story better than the KING!!! Try "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You", "Jailhouse Rock", "If I Can Dream", "Kentucky Rain"! The Best Story Teller, EVER!! He paved the way for Modern Day Civil Rights with his songs!
Kentucky Rain is a lovely Elvis record.
This song cuts right through you it doesn't matter where you come from, and elvis knew that. It needed to be sung.
Mac Davis wrote this song back in 1969 and it holds up today. Elvis was one kind of man. That’s why he’s called the king.
If I can dream is amazing
I appreciate your attitude. Going down the Elvis rabbit hole will bring you a surprising joy. No one like him. You could see movie on Elvis coming out 6/24. That will dispel a lot of lies about him. I can’t wait! It brings him from his upbringing in Tupelo Mississippi ghetto until his death in August 1977 at age 42.
Elvis grew up in extreme poverty he understood what he was talking about. Please react to Trying To get To you live 1968 comeback special. Thank you great reaction, i subbed.
Elvis was the king
American trilogy live in Honolulu that is my favorite song by Elvis Presley. You should react to that one
He was raised in the ghetto
Play where no one stands alone by Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley Elvis daughter.thank you.Vonnie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your heart.. BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER FROM LAS VAGAS.. JUST PRETEND.
I would love to see you discover more of Elvis' music. He recorded over 700 songs in all different genres. This would be a great introduction to his versatility: Elvis Presley - Music Evolution (1954-1977) (7:32).
Elvis had many sides! You will learn to love him as we do! He was a great man! Great reaction!😇🎶😇🎶
There are certain songs that he doesn't dance due to the message that he delivers it to the audiences .Yet it is still fun and amazing to watch him as he sings.,His outfit! Bell Bottom or Flare was a style in the late 60's or first part of the 70's. He has a guy who designed his outfit and decorated them with colorful stones. I use to wear bell Bottom. I wish the style will come back.
I like his song "Return To Sender"
I enjoy listening to "American trilogy"
Also" If I can Dream" Beautiful song
Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, In the ghetto are just some of great Elvis songs
Watch this dude at the movies as a kid in the 60's and 70's. I'm a great fan of Elvis. Have his records, then cassettes, now CD's and DVD's.
Elvis sang the best love songs ever. When on a date, just play Elvis for her.
Elvis rubberneckin from change of habit please
Elvis and his family were very poor, that is way he gave back, he was a good man
Elvis controlled his bang and backup singers with his arm and body movements.
Elvis was born and raised in dire poverty in black ghetto in Mississippi. His whole philosophy, his soul and his ART have freed us around the globe. I am from Kenya.
Elvis was born into poverty. So much emotion in this dong
Elvis is alive my friend
American Trilogy (live) is awesome Bro. Thanks for your reaction to this. Man it’s always a tough one for me to listen to. Makes me tear up every time
Thank you. Loved this song! Elvis was a believer in people, songs and his faith. He tried to make a difference, and in so many many ways did exactly that!
Absolutely love your quotes! 💕
Definitely tried to make a difference. Most people don’t realize the extent of his philanthropy. People have heard about the 200 cars he purchased for others and the houses he bought people but that was small potatoes compared to the benefit concerts he did to help cancer patients (Hawaii), tornado victims (Mississippi and Alabama), all the hospital bills he paid for people, how he helped the March of Dimes, St. Jude’s Hospital, the USS Arizona Memorial, and on and on that people don’t even know about. He did so much for people. Every year he contacted the Mayor of Memphis and Shelby County around the holidays and asked them to invite 50 different charitable organizations to a luncheon. He came in and donated envelopes with checks in them to help these organizations. Some of the organizations helped the larger community. Others were more specific, for example, the Jewish Community Center, an organization that assisted disabled African American children (remember this was still the segregated south) but he tried to assist everyone. At that time, he gave $100,000 each December, I don’t know what it would be worth today. But each check would be in an envelope for privacy. He was a real philanthropist. Because he grew up poor, he understood what it meant to need something or want something but not have the money for it. Elvis Presley was a great person.
Elvis recorded this in 1968. It went to #1.
Also walk a mile in my shoes
This song was originally titled "the vicious cycle or Circle" not sure which. Elvis truly cared and he knew what it was like to having nothing. I would love to know that the things Elvis sang about would have come to fruition by now but it seems we still have the vicious circle. His managers also didn't want him to sing this song but he stuck to his guns and performed it
HELP YOUR BROTHER ALONG THE WAY , FOR GOD MADE YOU SAME GOD MADE HIM.. ELVIS PRESLEY... 💜
Elvis was very close and related to the black community when he was growing up. He in turn, hired many when he got famous!
Elvis was absolutely gorgeous in the black leather suit on the 68 Special. 🔥 Gorgeous man!!!
Check out the lyrics in If I Can Dream on the 68 Special.
He didn’t write his own songs didn’t have to. He sung them better than anyone nobody could match Elvis Presley. Nobody. Oh yea. Sold over a BILLION RECORDS Untouched. Canada
Listen to IF I CAN DREAM from Elvis 1968 comeback performance. He’s in a white suit singing his heart and soul out. 1968 Dr king AND Bobby Kennedy were killed. Both in the same year. Elvis honors Dr King in this song.
If I Can Dream, Trouble, How Great Thou Art, Suspicious Minds
Fun fact…Cissy Houston was one of his backup singers:)
If I can Drea (comeback special)and Walk A Mile In My Shoes live.They are must haves in any Elvis library
Mac Davis wrote this song. He had a black friend and their dads worked together. But he wondered, why they lived in a bad part of town and he lived in a nicer part of town. It was written in January 1969. Recorded in April 1969. I found a video last week, of Mac describing writing it. I think you’d probably like 1970’s music. Where the songs told a story and, the instruments were crucial. Hope you have fun!!
When the pictures of Michael Brown lying dead in the street in Ferguson, MO. came on tv (I guess they only showed the street; I guess it was just my mind that saw him lying there.), this song started playing in my head.
Welcome to Elvis!! Check out "Trying to get to you", suspicious minds, or "How Great tho Art!! So many others for you to listen to, they're all great because Elvis was a very generous loving man .RIP, Elvis!!
American Trilogy is awesome. You Gave Me A Mountain, I think the more you get into Elvis you’ll see what a humble man he was. It’s a shame this song was in the 60’s and it could relate to today. Such a Shame
This performance was sampled by a famous rap group & Elvis himself was in their video from an earlier clip -- and they had permission to use it.
Ghetto, poor rural America. One at a time…help lift someone up and out that wants to. It is up to you and me, and that person in that circumstance.
Listen to his song .. I believe ….you’ll know him…
Check out love me tender from the 1970 concert
Check out the clip "Elvis and the Black Community". It's truly awaking on who he was and still is.
Elvis was born in a 1 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. He 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 (ua-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/v-deo.html). 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.
The so-called "one drop rule" is absurd.
@@timcarr6401 Yes it was. All racist things are absurd, especially when you micromanage it to just one drop, which is hardly detectable, but apparently needed by those who thought they were supposed to be superior.
Jaye, could you supply any evidence that Colonel Parker suppressed the one-drop absurdity in the case of Elvis. That sounds quite untrue.
Also, please provide a source(s) that Elvis was beaten up several times for the reason you gave. That's another one of those myths that crop up in the heads of some Elvis fans.
@@timcarr6401 Could you supply any evidence to the contrary of my statements? I'm not claiming that he could turn water into wine or sand into gold. And I never said that it was Parker who used the one drop rule against Elvis. Fact is that everybody back then already associated Elvis with the black community, which was by itself enough for some establishments to not want his music on their jukeboxes. And this is early in his career, when just about nothing was known about his ancestors on both sides of his family tree, no matter how many generations ago. This was when he was known as the white boy who sang black music. Parker was smart and very early on recognized the potential in Elvis (for making huge amounts of money for himself as well as Parker). He was not going to spoil that by pouring oil on that already heated opinion (especially in the south) of this boy making this type of music and those kind of movements of which "decent" white folks said it was the devil's music that was intended to bring the whites "down" to the level of "the blacks" (worse terms were used).
@@jayeginn5963 LOL!! You are the one making the wild claims. It's up to you to substantiate them.
You did indeed say that Parker was against Elvis being open about his native Indian ancestry because it could have cost Elvis his fan base.
You have to be open and honest or you will have no credibility.
This song was written by Mac Davis. The Original title was “The Vicious Circle” but it was changed. Watch the video about Elvis and his love for the Black community. A little trivia, Whitney Houston’s mom was one of his back up singers.
Elvis had his issues, but being a good and decent human being wasn't one of them. Venues at the time would tell him his black backup singers couldn't come in and he would cancel the show rather than not stand by the singers. He grew up in complete back breaking poverty. He lived in the ghetto, across the railroad tracks was the black ghetto. He played with their kids, etc. His mom often shopped there. It's a life and a culture that never left him. He never forgot it and always did everything he could to spread the message and help people. I can't think of another song that is as blunt and forcefully in your face with its message as this one. He doesn't waste any words or time. The power of such a simple story really sticks with people.
And on the 8th day God created Elvis
Song recorded in 1969
Elvis grew up in the ghetto in Tupelo, Miss
The storyteller is Mac Davis, Elvis was not a songwriter, he co-wrote a couple of songs but this was about a childhood friend of Mac's...
AWESOME AWESOME REACTION MY MAN! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU POSITIVITY! YOU ROCK MY FRIEND! 👌👌👌💪💪🤜🤛
