    Ain't no ghetto in New Rochelle, even today ain't no ghetto there. Just a song from the pen of a 60's perspective...check the message cause it does come from the ghetto like Harlem, South Bronx, Newark, Trenton, Camden, Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans......Watts, Crenshaw, Oakland, Omaha, Philly.....DC all of the Chocolate Cities in the world.....Sowateo, Johannesberg....

    Great production, bassline reminiscent of the Beatles She's so Heavy and OH ! that's where Blue Boy got the Ching, Ching chorus from.
