When I first heard this in 1969, I cried like a baby. Mac Davis wrote this for Elvis. I was 17 and not looking forward to my eighteenth birthday. Vietnam was raging and tearing the soul and the fabric of America apart. I was brought up in the projects, and I have seen this song play out more than once. Poverty breeds a sense of hopelessness which then turns to anger. I was almost beaten to death when I was six years old by a thirteen-year-old boy. He knocked out all my teeth and kicked me in the dirt like I was less than a human being.. Ya'll we have to love one another. Thank you for a great song that needs to hit the charts again today. I did go into the army and watched Vietnam tear our nation apart, and its soul is still wounded. This is your boy in Tennessee trying to spread the love of Jesus Christ. If we all lived for him and loved one another, hatred would stop, and there would be no crime.
Elvis grew up dirt poor in a black neighborhood. He can relate, he lived it. He lived in a shack and barely had food to eat. He was told not to record this song that it would ruin his career. But Elvis wouldn’t listen and insisted to record it. How wrong they were.
We love you El
Elvis was ahead of his time. He loved everyone. A special man. Beautiful!
Indeed
Elvis was born poor and grew up in the ghetto of Tupelo Mississippi. He knew what this song meant
There is so much history behind Elvis’s struggle. His Dad spent a little time in prison for altering a check, his family was extremely poor. Ironically, Elvis formed his own style of music by what he was surrounded with as a kid, black R&B and gospel music in his church where dancing and moving was a part of worship. Elvis was truly a legend, there will never be another to compare to him! 👑
He said in the 68 comeback from the stage; the sitting down, not standing pieces, that rock really sprang from gospel and R&B. He spoke of this with the audience very candidly just b4 it switches to the 68 comeback “gospel show”, portion.
If anybody was born in the ghetto....it was Elvis.
no black people, just a white boy named Elvis.
Fun fact: When Elvis got the song from Mac Davis, it originally ended with “Another little baby child is born in the ghetto.” Mac said when Elvis recorded it, he added the last “And his mama cries,” on his own and made it even better! Elvis does not get enough (or any really) credit for being a brilliant producer!
He was in command after 1968.
Elvis didn't use gimmicks, he had pure God given talent that he shared with the world. He felt every note, every lyric and everything came from his heart.
Elvis sang this from his heart- he grew up in an extremely poor area and he saw all of this first hand. After this performance he went backstage and cried. Here we are in 2022 and nothing’s really changed, and I think Elvis knew that was going to be the case. I’m not sure the mother did the wrong thing here. Many of these women are doing the best they can, with multiple kids and possibly a missing or drunk husband, or she could be working to feed them. She can’t be everywhere at once.
He went back staged and cried?? WHAT/WHO is the source of that information?!? I hope it is not the movie that recently came out.
He went backstage and cried after singing "If I Can Dream" 68 Comeback Special.
Elvis knew this struggle. He grew up dirt poor in the ghetto...and never forgot. He had such a generous heart.
*Elvis Presley was the Greatest Entertainer who ever lived ------*
I believe Elvis was calling the whole Country to take responsibility.
I remember listening to this as a child. I cried like a baby listening to the lyrics. It still makes me cry when I hear it. I am 53.
I think you're beginning to understand why Elvis was loved so much. I urge you to keep listening, and I guarantee that you won't regret it! Peace.✌☮
It was done in the early 70’s❤️
Thanks to M Davis he also had the same heart glad there hwsrts came together for this world.
Beautiful
The best of all time
This song was recorded in 1969 and it is still relevant today
This song was released in 1969, so it is really prophetic for times today, yes? It makes me cry every time I hear it. I loved Elvis so much. So did my mom. We cried hard when he passed. I'm 5 years older than his daughter, Lisa Marie. Her passing was sad, too, recently, but she's with her daddy, now. God bless them both. RIP Elvis & Lisa Marie
This song debut on June 27 1969. Elvis was so beloved by the black community and black entertainers. He was very poor and lived in the ghetto. Thanks for sharing. Katie 🌸☀️
Elvis is one of a kind ,very humble , treated everybody with respect , and a great humanitarian,gave to fifty charities every year , now we got another one for you ,if I can dream in his 68 comeback special in his white suit that is one of his most powerful message songs he has ever sung

1st s2q
“If I can dream” from Elvis’s 68 Comeback Special is a vocal masterpiece and a tribute to MLK.
White suit version for sure.
Yeah after he can do the Upchurch cover of that song as well. Both did amazing jobs.
@@michaelbehrens1179 I gotta look that up!
YES!!!!! OMG!!! Such a beautiful tribute. He only sang that once live because it was too painful
Elvis was a damn good man. 🤍💯
Elvis was dirt poor and his Daddy went to jail for awhile..
Elvis was also picked up on for caring about the black community. By the white community. He didn't care. He kept his honor and values for all people. He grew up very poor in the ghetto. Thanks for sharing. Katie 😊🌸
Elvis grew up poor and lived in a 2 room shotgun shack that his dad built. There were times when his family didn't even have running water, he grew up in a mostly black community in the ghetto of tupelo ms but he never forgot where he came from he was a very generous man and loved helping people even people he didn't even know. If you can do a reaction to the documentary to elvis the generous heart it will give you another insight of the generous man elvis was... Linda Thompson elvis gf in a interview said one day she heard on the news that a lady and her kids had a house fire and lost everything she said she told elvis about this lady who lost everything elvis right away said find out how we can reach her so she did well elvis set this lady up in a new apartment bought her furniture for her apt and also paid her rent for 6 months and he didn't even know this lady.. this is just one of many stories where elvis helped people he didn't even know.. he was such a generous caring loving Christian man who was very generous with his money and never forgot where he came from...
From 50 years ago...we really, REALLY do need to do better...
The 1st time I heard this song I cried so much. I live in the UK and hadn't heard of USA ghettos until I listened "and heard" these words. Elvis had a tough upbringing in poverty hence his passion in this song. Thank you
This is 2024 I still cry for my biracial child every day we are blessed so until now but we always worry.
50+ years ago and still valid. Elvis didn't write this (Mac Davis did), but he fought his manager to record it. He felt the message needed to be heard.
Elvis grew up singing in a black church so gospel runs in his soul. I recommend If I can Dream, the tribute to MLK and also any of his gospel music.
1969 this song was released written by Mac Davis for Elvis, because Mac Davis knew if Elvis sang it, people would listen, and also there was a big risk career wise, nice follow up for EP after the 68 comeback special "If I can Dream" song written for Elvis shortly after the assassination of MLK
Mac Davis wrote In the Ghetto for Sammy Davis, Jr. He said he couldn't do it justice, as it wasn't his reality. He told Mac that Elvis could do it with authenticity. Elvis' people asked Mac for a song and that was what he gave them.
Elvis lived in the ghetto growing up. His family was very poor. He never forgot his roots and became a very caring person who gave to people from all walks of life and never wanted to be acknowledge for his kindness. He was known to give his jewelry to children in the hospital and attending his concerts. He was one of the major contributors to the initial building of the St. Jude's Children Hospital. The song If I Can Dream was written special for Elvis due to his sadness from the murders of Martin Luther King , Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. His last song he sang at his 1968 Comeback Special was suppose to be a Christmas song but Elvis sang If I Can Dream instead. He was more than the King of Rock and Roll--he was a wonderful human being. He earned his status of being a Legend. I will go to my grave being an Elvis fan! Thanks for reacting to so many of Elvis songs.
I still can’t believe this song is just as relevant today as in the late sixties, when it was released. Very powerful song. This live performance, in Las Vegas, is my favorite. Those back up singers were awesome.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this song and yours is the top 2 best reactions!
He didn't hate black people!!!! He lived in poverty his self!!!! It's still going on!!!!❤❤
We all cry with this song. It is so so sad but instead of crying we should all help those crying mothers and the children. What's the saying, it takes a community to raise a child? We'll that's why we should help in any way we can and not turn away. Thank you for reacting 💚
He knew what it was to live in the Ghetto!! You need to listen and not keep stopping it. He was a beautiful man very generous to a lot of people.
Elvis was a God given talent that came from extreme poverty. He had no shoes on his feet as a kid. He never forgot his roots ❤
The song was wrote by Mac Davis Elvis recorded in January of 1969. In American Studios in Memphis Tennessee
This song came out in 1969/1970 . Thank you for keeping Elvis relevant here in 2022/2023. ❤❤❤❤
I remember when this song came out. It was such a deeply moving song. He threw a spotlight on a topic that so many people were not aware of. This one song had a hugely profound impact on our society at the time. I recall being very impressed that Elvis had the courage to sing this.
Elvis never mentioned color in this song, he knew what living in a ghetto was all about - he lived it. Elvis did not have a racist bone in his body, growing up in Tupelo & later Memphis he was shown love & kindness by people living in the ghetto & he never forgot those that helped him & his Mom & Dad. He would go back to the places he knew, he’d hang out with BB King at the gin joints to listen to early r&r & the blues music & he would give people money, guitars, & would buy houses or cars if he saw they needed help. He learned the gospel music of the churches he went to as a boy, he had deep faith and won many awards for his gospel albums. Elvis was proficient in karate & used those moves during his shows & also to stop & help guys being beat up - he would jump in to help 😎. The King of Rock & Roll, may he Rest in Peace 😇🎸💙
Elvis never mentioned colour in this song, that is because he didn't write it.
Kind loving man to us all.
Awesome Song Awesome reaction!!!!
Elvis had a twin brother who died in childbirth. His family was so poor they had to bury him in a shoebox. I heard this song in 1969 at 12 yrs old and cried everytime..still do at 66 yrs old. 😭 You are so right about breaking the cycle. ✌💫
Elvis never forgot where he came from. And the relationship he prized above all others was that with his mother. You watch other performances of his, and Elvis is playful. But when he gets soulful, it's all business and from the heart.
Elvis was way ahead of his time with his music. He record the song in 69.
"In the Ghetto" (originally titled "The Vicious Circle") is a 1969 song recorded by Elvis Presley and written by Mac Davis
Elvis was born in tupelo Mississippi with the dirt floor and a brother. He was raised dirt poor in the cotton fields. He learned how to sing at the black churches. Look it up. The greatest entertainer that ever lived, and if you listen to his music they didn't have auto-tune back then that's his voice it's not like all these singers nowadays the cheat.
I love your reaction. And there is no color. Just poverty and hopelessness
I'm still going crazy over Elvis. Always will ❤️❤️❤️
Me too, and I go crazy also for Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley too! All great artists and my generation. MJ was 5 years older, and Lisa Marie was 5 years younger. My grandmother Loved Elvis and Michael and our listening to them and watching them on TV with her, are some of my best memories. She and I sobbed our eyes out when Elvis died. We were so worried about Lisa Marie. Odd that when Michael Jackson died, my first thought was the same- I hope Lisa Marie will be ok. She loved them both so much. Now she is gone too.
Vibe Reaction, I have listened to this song dozens of times, I NEVER thought of the ghetto being everywhere, I grew up very poor, your words opened my eyes too the fact Elvis was talking even to me. Thanks for your insight. The comback special song he did, If I can dream, he sung that with compassion and sorrow because of the assassination of MLK and Robert Kennedy. The loss of MLK hurt him.
He cared about people of other races. In 1968, Elvis was to perform a concert in the Astrodome of Houston, Texas. His backup singers were three African-American women called the Sweet Inspirations. He was told that because of their color they would not be allowed to sing there. Elvis politely said that he understood, but that if they were not allowed to come, then he would not be coming either! Management then had a miraculous change of heart and the Sweet Inspirations sang with him in the Astrodome. More info about the queens in the background. The Sweet Inspirations were founded by Dionne Warwick and she was later replaced by her Aunt Cissy Houston who is Whitney Houston’s Mother.
Im a 59 year old white man that actually grew up dirt poor in canada,yeah came out swinging and super pissed,I could allways relate to the poverty situation .a lot of my friends were indiginous and believe me this was and still is as bad as any ghetto,this song really hits home and it’s incredible considering it was wrote in 1970 , it seriously brought out some very raw emotion.Elvis may not have wrote but I know he felt every bit of that song deep in his soul,I think thats thats his best work ever and needs to be heard by the whole world,especially this country and people really need to listen
This song came out in 1969!! I'm a huge Elvis fan since I was 3 yrs old. I'm now 32. Almost all my life, I've been an Elvis fan & proud of it!!!
Thank you for sharing this with me.
I saw Elvis and i subbed . This is the first time i have seen you. Elvis was born into poverty and he never forgot where he came from. He was a very humble, generous man, who did not see color. thank you..
Hey hey paula!!! Shit i'm sorry!! Just can't help myself!!! I just can't help believing???!!! Haha don't shoot the messenger please? Hahaha👍🙏⚘️🌷❤️
Elvis was born dirt poor in tupelo Mississippi so he knew what he was singing he sang with passion and feeling.thank you,so much for your reaction to The G.O.A.T. God,bless you, 😢👊🌹💐🤲🕺🎤🎸✌☝👌👍❤🙏
This is one of Elvis' best. He's the greatest of all time
Elvis was raised in poverty in government housing in Memphis, so he understood poverty and because of that he not only gave music to people but in generosity gave his money too. Check out "If I Can Dream". A tribute to MLK in 1968. Thanks!
He actually grew up, until 14 years old, in Tupelo, Mississippi. His house was between the very poor white homes and the poverty stricken black houses! Then at 14, his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee for work! YES!!! ELVIS knew what poverty and the ghettos were...he actually LIVED it everyday of his life! When he started singing, he just wanted to make enough money to buy his Mama a nicer home! He never forgot where he came from and his love for the black race! They were better to him than his own people. I suggest that you react to "If I Could Dream"! It is SPECTACULAR!!! Also watch the Documentaries, "ELVIS and the Black Community ...That Echo Will Never Die, parts one and two"! They will MAKE you see the true ELVIS PRESLEY!!! Thank you for a great reaction!
His parents were sharecroppers. Public housing was stepping into luxury in comparison to when he was a little boy in Tupelo. Vicki

@@richardeidemiller6739 That's what his friends said in an interview, they said that they all felt like they had moved up in the world.
Elvis lived in the Ghetto in Memphis so he definitely knew what he was singing about. TRY listening to If I Can Dream from the 68 come back..... If I Can Dream
Gimmick he was not. Most real authentic voice you’ll ever hear
My family being from Tennessee I grew up listening to Elvis. My husband used to say Elvis made more women wet than rain 🤣 . But for real his gospel music is so beautiful. Check out how great thou art
Exactly! Everybody,EVERY color! We all have had some version of living in the ghetto. Thank you for this reaction. I,a white child grew up poor,and the last of 6. And,although she loved me,she wasn't thrilled. My father was an alcoholic and!It was 1961and she was 42. She did the best she could with what she had and I will always love her for it. We had one of my brothers friends die in our cellar.
I love this song of reality
We need him again
Damn right, everyone has a ghetto.
Brilliant and critical point.
With Elvis it wasn't a gimmick. It was just how he was. He always said "If I can't move I can't sing."
I'm 59. I remember this so much. I sob. Big bullet tears, snot, shaking sobs. Nothing has changed. Will it ever?
This song is timeless. Probably one of his best. Definitely in my top 3 elvis. Best emotional one for me.
I can’t tell you how many of these reaction videos I’ve watched with this song and I am a huge Elvis fan, and every reaction I’ve seen with this song is exactly the same.
Elvis Presley still touching hearts .
Respect
More Elvis please ❤️. Maybe " If I can dream" from the '68 Come back Special ( the one with the white suit!.
Ray... I applaud your courage, Brother. The meanin' of this song is as relative today as in the Seventies when I was a cop in North Philly. Nothin' has changed. Bless You and keep the message goin'. Maybe before my ol' butt is in the past tense I'll see it happen.
By th' way, the first Elvis song I heard was "All Shook Up". Had it on a 45.
Favorite reaction ever to this. God bless you. Brother. Youre right. We all need to do better
I love that he brought these lyrics to the Las Vegas audience.
The colonel did not want him to sing this song as he felt it too controversial in those times but Elvis insisted. It went to number 1 in 8 countries and was certified Platinum in America and Great Britain 👌💕🕺
Elvis is Fire. Love the ODB shirt. RIP ODB and Elvis. I believe this song came out in 1969.
Elvis was born in the ghetto when he came famous and rich he didn't forget where he came from he gave money and cars to people
What the man had was a beautiful voice, face and heart. No gimmick. Vicki
He was really brave...talking about tough subjects...he didn't care if it was popular.
Happy Heavenly Birthday Elvis
Welcome to the music world of Elvis Presley, once you listen you are well and truly hooked. I know you are going to enjoy this journey ❤️❤️❤️
He lived in the Ghetto.
If you would like to listen to the song that Elvis dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr.
You need to listen to "If I can Dream" from the 68 come back special.
I Never get tired of this song...❤😢
The greatest show on Earth - Elvis Presley the undisputed king 👑..and that voice,the high notes, just close your eyes and listen how he takes you to his own world. He his the best storyteler of all time.
I’m so glad I discovered your channel. I was young in the 60s, Civil Rights movement years. Elvis and I go way back because I’m old.
I can’t tell you how great it is to see you respond to his breathtakingly beautiful voice. Yes, he was gorgeous, commanded every room, arena, the whole world by satellite. It is impossible to choose one favorite song. But, when I’m asked by someone who doesn’t know his music, I tell them he had some that are more important because they show his heart, his character. In The Ghetto, If I Can Dream and American Trilogy.
The first two are obvious. American Trilogy is a medley of songs from the Civil War: Dixie, the Battle Hymn of the Republic (glory Hallelujah), and All my Trials (a spiritual). He tells a powerful story by performing this song.
Peace, and May his dream come true.
LEGEND!!!👑
OMG!!! Thank YOU! , YES, there are ghettos for us all, I came from the white ghetto! YES, there are poor white people! And we relate to those in other ghettos!!!!
Oh, 9th degree BLACK BELT!
Hiya. Elvis Presley. In the getto. Came out in January 20 1969
Lisa Marie's passing has taken me right back to the day Elvis died!!! The entire world cried!!!
Great Reaction. This song came out in 69’ and we still can’t get it right. “If I can dream” is definitely worth a listen from the 68’ comeback special (white suit version). The song is a tribute to MLK AND RFK after their assignation. It was after this song that Elvis decided he would never again do a movie or song he didn’t believe in. In the Ghetto came out a year later.
ELVIS IS BACK.. I LOVE ALL THAT ARE LOOKING BACK AND
FEELING HIS LOVE.
I love your emotions, I'm Italian and very emotional. When I meet someone who is emotional also, that means you have a big heart and are easily moved.
people often forget or just dont know Elvis was from the streets he grew up in brutal poverty he knew the struggle
I was not yet 8 years old when this song came out. Im getting old! Lol! It came out April 1st, 1969.
Hey big guy how are you. Just watching your reaction video to Elvis Presley In the Ghetto I want to tell you a little bit of something about Elvis Presley, the man didn't know prejudice he didn't know race Creed or color he knew human being he grew up in one of the poorest places in Tennessee broken down Shack his twin brother passed away at a young age but he sang in the choir in all black church I hate to say that word black because I don't like sounding prejudiced when I introduce somebody whether he's of A different race I don't say he's my black friend on my Puerto Rican friend I just say he's my friend that's how I was raised. But getting back to Elvis He was the sweetest human being on Earth he felt the pain of other people he felt the struggle of other people even when he was on top gave away pink Cadillacs gave away to the homeless he just was a giver that's what made him special that's what made him when we was he suffered through many addictions and that's an ultimately what took his life. 1978 August 12th I remember coming home and found my wife telling me this he passed away I couldn't believe it I cried for many a day. Thanks for reading and I'm glad that you got to be introduced to a man of his statue of his Humanity your friend Tommy
Wow! Your reactions are astounding! So right on & poignant! 😮
His back up singers are the all black group the “Sweet Inspirations”. Often they were not allowed to stay in the same motel/hotel. Elvis said he would NOT appear unless they were accommodated. He walked the walk and talked the talk. He is still…the KING.
I love your reactions.... I grew up listening to Elvis on the regular. My grandma was in love with Elvis, God rest her soul. We watched all his movies and shows together. I was 10 when he passed and I remember being so sad for my grandma. Now I'm learning more about his life and listening to his music again.... You have brought me back to those good times. Thank you!
When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. Real Talk. Awesome reaction Ray. love to you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn.
Never another!!!! ❤
It was out in 1970. Everybody told him not to release this song it would ruin his career. There are a couple of Elvis and the Black Community on here. They're very good.
His backup singers sound like angels. ⚡
