About This Track

“In the Ghetto” is a song written by Mac Davis and was originally titled “The Vicious Circle”. The song was made popular by rock and roll singer Elvis Presley. It was released in 1969 as a 45 rpm single with “Any Day Now” as the flip side. It is a narrative story of a young boy who grows up in the ghetto, steals and fights, and eventually is shot and killed.
The song was Presley’s first Top 10 hit in the US in four years, peaking at number 3, and his first UK Top 10 hit in three years.

    Did Elvis have a sore throat at this recording? He didn't join in.

    I love Elvis but the true king of rock and roll is Chuck Berry. The only reson he is not labled the king of rock and roll is he was black and in thoes times the black man diden't get much credit. He wrote his own music and he could play the sheiot out of a guitar !!!!! The true king. Just my opinion people

    Only one thing missing from this track. The King. It doesn't say it's an instrumental. I was told what a good site this is. Having heard many wrong recordings and second class re-releases, I'm begining to wonder if only paying customers get the quality.
