I remember being a homeless young boy hearing this song for the first time and feeling so sad for the boy in the song. Not realizing that I was just as bad off. Thankfully I had a very strong single mother who wouldn’t let me out of her sight hardly. At the time I resented it but she did the right thing and kept me out of an unwise path path. I pray for everyone in poverty. I learned not to rely on the government and to make my own way even if the job I had was terrible.

When I think of all the suffering he went through at the end of his life and how crazy his life became because of his fame, it breaks my heart. I’m 60, and knowing that he went through all that Paden obsession indicted only 42 is so tragic.

my brothers and I just buried our old mummy today and this is the Elvis song she loved because she took in to our house and home loads of strangers and poor old ladies and mum always had a place at table for the stranger. us boys met heaps of angels going through to do what we couldn't understand but alluded to by mum wisdom.

Elvis Presley Lyrics "In The Ghetto" 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 away 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 And 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

Elvis sang this so beautifully.

This song is my song for describing me living in a group home after having a troubled family relationship over the years. I’m 25 now and I was admitted to a cultural group home in Valley Stream, New York in 2020 during the Covid20 pandemic. I have PTSD from being in a residential school in Upstate New York for 3 years from 2014-2017 and I was abused there. I never went to college after I graduated from that institution. Now in 2024 I don’t have any friends my age and I have been separated from my family for years. I have been in the group home for 4 years now since 2020 and I want to get out soon. I want to be closer to my parents again but they are getting older and my dad doesn’t get along with me. I hope my family realizes that I want to reunite with them and be discharged from the group home one day so I can be happy and enjoy life again. God Bless All. Matty. ❤️ 💐

My mom was the biggest Elvis fan i knew, and loved this song above all else. She passed away sorrounded by her family while listening to this song. It never fails to make me cry.

I imagine this had to be a very personal song to Elvis since he grew up in a very poor area of Tupelo.

I grew up with Elvis. But he has two songs that are perfect. And still mean the same. In the ghetto is one. An absolute master of music. Never wrote a complete song himself but made every song that he sang something that was absolutely original and perfect!!!

Yeah Donald Trump has made this song quite real with the way he has destroyed America.

I'm a black woman and didn't know of this song period until this one coworker back around 2006 talked about this song. I NEVER heard of it and I know Elvis Presley's songs. Now that I have, I like it.

You still live Elvis👍

This song was the most influential Elvis ever made. No one has sung it with the right amount of feeling especially early in the song when he asks 'if we turn away' that question has so much conviction of who we really are

😢I love this song. Thank you Marc Davis & Elvis for making this powerful song such a big hit. It is an endless and powerful message. Sadly, today I this country & around the word this is still happening. 😢. I was raised in the ghetto and thanks to The Lord, I made it out, but with many struggles to tell. Some of the kids that I knew in the ghetto are now dead or in jail. Thank God for my mother’s endless prayers for my siblings & I. “AND HIS MOMMA CRIES!”

Saddest, most genuine, and most respectful song. He's singing the truth and you can hear his emotion but he's not ranting or blaming. Elvis is just saying it like it is and saying there will always be a never-ending cycle unless people step up. He saw it himself, he knew.

never considered myself an Elvis fan (or anyone else come to think about it) but this is in my top 5 all-time musical recordings, I think.

He did so much for the black youth. Man before his time.

I was born in Chicago in 1957. This song had a huge impact on me when it came out in 1969. I remember the winter of 69 to 70, and this song was being played on the radio.

Elvis will always be the king

Garret, just like the song says, they grew into angry young men.

Elvis lived this poverty in his early years. His poverty started in Tupelo Mississippi and moved to Memphis Tennessee. Eventually things got better for him because of his talent. That is why he does this song so well, because he lived it! I lived it in my early years also. I remember playing in the streets, and in the coal pile, and being cold and hungry. Mom used to get really mad at me when I got into the coal pile. Our poverty started in Kentucky but moved to Detroit when I was 6. Things started to get better after that, but that is why this is one of my favorite songs of all time, because I can relate!!!

WHAT A AWESOME VOICE NOONE EVER CAN REPLACE THAT HES BRILLIANT

Damn... Today I'm listening to Elvis' songs for the very first time (aside from The Twelfth of Never, which has long been a huge favorite of mine), and I'm legit crying - over the story, over the message, and over his voice. This man was a miracle.

My absolutely favorite Elvis sing. And a fitting end for the great Elvis movie.

Dude, this song is flippin' beautiful.

This song has always gotten to me. I was born and raised in South Portland, here in Maine, and my grandmother on my mother’s side, who lived in Biddeford, never had much, alongside the fact that her husband, who was the one making the money in the house, frequently abused her in the earlier years of my life. But back then I didn’t know better, and I have come to realize over the years that sadly she was extremely poor, living in a rundown ghetto area in a rundown house. She died of cancer nearly 9 years ago, and my mother and I cried for so long about that. Family is a blessing, no matter how much money you do or don’t have.

Indiscretivel, a voz mais pura que já existiu!!!

One of the most beautiful songs performed by the king! Sadness and dramatic interpretation become this lyrics eternal and unique in Elvis Presley's voice!
