I am amazed, this is so deep 💕. The world has changed, so sad like people can't see.

Elvis began his life during the Great Depression in the Deep South. He was also raised Southern Baptist. For him it wasn’t if you were white or black, he was just poor. Klopp He was also Momma’s Boy. So when Elvis sang, he was taking you to church.

He loved black people… after leaving Tupelo when he got famous he went back and had a park built for them. Growing up in Tupelo the little black kids weren’t aloud to play there and it always made him sad. An amazing person!!

@@joshthompson2510 You are so right.

He lived it. That's why he can sing it with such emotion.

Elvis was raised up dirt poor and rich in love

And as relevant as today.

me too

29 years old and this is my favorite Elvis song

So true

You are so right.

That's so true, Cindy 👏🏾❤🤍💙 🇳🇱

So true and sad that it does?

Not much has changed then , we are still blind , the world turns .

Can you imagine? And the production and arrangement are off the scale too.

and in another 400 years...he can't die.

Même dans 1 siècle

So true

That is because he lived it. He was born in a ghetto, 2 songs he wrote actually come from his life, this song always gives me chills

❤

I was living in Brookline, Mass. as a thirteen year old when the King died. It was a very sad day in iir house. My mom was very emotional.

You are so right, and he never lost that ability - always a beautiful, right on point voice.

Elvis and cartman both sang this so well

The song was relevant for the time it was written. They didn't have choices then. Kids have never had more opportunities they do now. The only reason anyone doesn't have an education now is because they don't want one. There is no segregation and there is free education. If one works hard and learns, there are many more scholarships available to poor kids then there ever has been. Stop looking for excuses.

A sad reality of life, that too many people has lived. A vicious cycle; will it ever end?

@@craigluhr7243 when you live their lives you will realized even being full is a pleasure. Yes scholarship is available, but if your stomach is empty could you study? I have seen many people have to work in very young age (I mean from 6 years old) to help their parents make ends meet. So don’t judge them right away.

My tears are streaming down my face.

@Lavender Raine I have lived in Roxbury in Boston and in the 3rd ward of Houston. Yes, I have lived in ghettos. You have no clue what you are talking about.

I've liked him and many other singers from that time since I was 13. It started at the bus stop to school there were a few older country kids there and me and my peers looked up to them there were about 12 of us at that single bus stop at our most populated time anyway the country kids would play elvis songs and Jonny cash songs and occasionally Jonny b Goode we started buying cigarettes off of them because they had an older brother or something and then we started drinking black coffee. It became a ritual to get there 30 to 45 minutes early and just smoke and hangout. Funny thing is the oldest Dakota wore a brown leather jacket and a cowboy hat boots and jeans this was middle school I started wearing a black leather jacket black or Grey shirt or button up jeans black sneakers since 6th grade after thinking that look was cool and tough from games and the book The outsiders but once the bus stop got populated 4 other people slowly adopted the look 2 of them were my close friends Stephen and alex although we all picked on alex for multiple things but manly his sister walked in on him beating his meat so we all called him ol beater for awile but the fun part was the 2 older Eli and Dakota decided to have us start selling cigarettes and later we sold a little bit of weed and alcohol and eventually e-cigs but in highschool it was hard to make a profit because other kids were solo dealing so not too many people stuck with the ones further down the chain and then the older kids left highschool and they went to do concrete or something and we disbanded our little racket And that's my story on how elvis got me into a middle school drug racketeering operation it was like 2013 or 14 satures of limitations and all that lol

I grew up listening to this especially at Xmas

Какое счастье, что у Вас такая бабушка, я тоже бабушка и всегда любилаЭлвиса: это счастье

​@@ClintMcBride-ug7feWHAT IS xmas ? ?

I'm 24 too. I've always loved him though, from listening to him with my grandpa when I was little.

I think like you. If only we had more love in this world. We would have no war, no hunger, not so many pain .

Yes Sir. This is one of the greatest songs ever written and performed by a great singer. Absolutely heart touching but so so sad.

Me too...thinking about how much I miss My Aunt Barbara!! What I would give to admire the huge velour wall hanging of THE KING. God bless both their souls. I'm sure they are rockin it in Heaven. He'll always be 42yrs old....

Michael Gaynor it's the same the whole world over. Rich people's lives are worth more than anyone else's. I refuse to use to say poor. When even more people die who used to do the menial tasks. The rich people can either 1. Pay people lots more, to be their slaves, as there's only a few of them. 2. Get off their lazy fat asses and empty their own trash🙏👏🏻

50 years.....and the relevance is still there. Sad on both ends. 50 years gone.....and people still need help that are in bad situations.

Me too my friend :). This is my time. 👌🤚👌

Hi Jenn, how are you doing

❤

I agree. I was 13 when it came out and the way he sings the excellent lyrics makes me feel he was singing from the middle of the sad ghetto.

I totally agree with you.

I'm with you infectious music great lyrics and it's so sad as human beings we don't love one each other I long for the day we all love each other and I love life am happy go lucky I treat everyone the same way with live and dignity and never ever have been racist to anybody love everyone and everything life has to offer love Anthony Fed ex lol

Poor lil chocolate child

Brings tears to my eyes listening to it. Beautiful song.

Me too...😢

The best song Elvis ever recorded in his carreer,"My Way" is a good second and all his other songs 3rd😁

Agreed good one 4 sure °

Aww, that’s adorable, bless her

Col. Parker said there was nobody more poor than Elvis growing up.

That’s why elvis gave his cars money away to so many people he was so poor growing up as a kid

Yes he was.

He knew what it was like to have black songwriters 🥴

Il restera toujours le meilleur chanteur au monde 👍👍👍✌✌un ange qui repart 😇😇😇

No lie detected. On our family tree one branch was raised there on Mother of Gaston (ave/st). Every leave was bad. But some blew away to more fertile land and are thriving with beautiful buds and stems of their own.

And NOW a good portion of America is ghetto and getting worse with each passing day Bidens in office

Well all the cities are ghettos now

Thank you for serving in a tough neighbourhood and I see videos of neighbourhoods in various cities in US that have terrible drug problems and am very saddened by it all ! More so as I worked in the US for a few years in my early career and loved it and have great time for Americans as I found them to be very friendly and caring people. Warmest regards from Ireland!

@sgtjeff56 .This is the one song that I just can't listen to without tears.Thank you for your service .Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪. 🖐🙏✨️

It dosen't break my heart ! They where warn in the 60's and they keep xoing it ! So means they VOTE for it . Nothing can be change if they don't do their part .

AND FOREVER WILL !!!!!

ENOUGH SAID KENNETH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He stole his songs from black people

What do you mean not just in the ghetto, , pray tell

Elvis. Was. Racht. Jonge man. Denk te gevoelig voor het leven was. En jammer ten onder is gegaan als een man van drugs gebruiken aan eid was. Zijn schoonheid verdwenen en denk.ook door gevoeligheid. Mensen misbruik van hebben gemaakt in opzicht van geld. Hij had tde intensie. Wil uit arm leven ouders. Goed geven maar uiteindelijk wat heeft roem gebracht te gevoelig in leven brengt vaak mensen afgrond. Zijn muziek zal voor leven. Wat super is. Weet nog dag stierf. Mijn moeder hield van Elvis muziek. Het eerste wat ze zei thuis kwam school Elvis is overleden. Ze was ontroerd vergeet nooit meer. Dit lied raakt iederen niemand wil getto leven en zorg dat je nooit 8nkomt. Moet altijd traan laten liedje hoor. Mensen oordelen soms. Maar gij zult niet oordelen staat in bijbel. Nou. Religie oordeelt vaak van de balk en de splinter. Heb respect voor mensen arm gezin komen en zich op eigen kracht opwerken. En dan moetnaan mijn vader denken arm gezin maar top. Opgewerkt eigen kracht. En daar heb diep respect voor. Al was. Geen gemakkelijk vader. Maar nimmer hebben we armoede gehad. DINIE JONGSMA. ❤

Mac Davis told that story

❤

My mother and my grandparents raised me without my father. I have seen him the first time as I was 34 years old. My parents may both rest in peace, like yours. Your mother did a good job, as she raised you. I hope you are still alive and in peace with your destiny.

I was 6, my father was there but we lived in fear of him. My parents divorced when I was 15. When I was 12, I watched him beat my Mom and to this day I feel ashamed of myself for not trying to stop him. I am 60 now.

@Uwill49 I am so sorry. I hope you'll be able to forgive yourself one day. Even though there's nothing to forgive. I wish you the best.

Hi Elaine 👋

He was also a gift. ❤️

@@origirox how are you doing today, hope you’re good??

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!

Good teacher there.

Ooh I love that story my friend ❤

That is what the world is missing today teachers that understand the word teaching and not just go by the books I love your teacher

Brilliant teaching!! Congrats!!!

If you did that today it would be like praying and that would not be allowed. Miss those days and that's why the world is in the shape it is today.

Amen friend! You made me smile perfect comment lol coming from someone who grew up in the windy city when this song was a massive hit!

Magiczny Elvis

Hi Patsy💐💐

Love Mac

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble.

Mac Davis wrote this song? I did not know that. RIP Mac

Does it hurt to give Elvis credit ? You can write a billion songs but you need a master vocalist to get the emotion and message across

@@scouseronthewirral Loved them both, but one was a gifted scribe, the other was the King.

YES,SAME HERE

This is also my favorite Elvis song as well.

If this is your favorite, then you're a DEPRAVED MORON.

@@CooManTunes If you are an intentional commentary attacker for no special reason YOUR FUCKING HEAD DROWNS IN YOUR ARSEHOLE.

Mine, too!

Mine, too.

I think that your mother who loved this song was a good person. She may rest in peace. Greetings for you and good luck. Your mother will protect you.

I remember listening to this song grow up poor. I'm 62 now and it still brings tears to my eyes..Miss Eva, so many turned and looked the way.. So glad it touched your heart ❤

I Watch this video most every day . It's a heartbreaking reality.!

Hi Eva, how are you doing

Hello 👋 Janet , I guess you're a Good country MUSIC lover?

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!

Great song Elvis

Great music

He certainly was ❤️

Elvis was a very sensitive person

sad to say not much has changed in the past 50 plus years...really sad.

THE king

Mary Skoglund So Shad

Sure there's been change...it's gotten worse.

And until people change, there can be no real change

When gov't is yo momma and daddy that's how it is

Mac Davis sings it better

Elvis matters band sounds just like him.

Eric cartman did a pretty good job

@scottlightner41... .Listening to Elvis again such an amazing song always tears. Reading your message totally agree with everything you said.👍✨️🙏💥

I agree with all you have written. D'accord avec vous sur toute la ligne. Doris from France.

And my dad's too - 1944 - 2009. Still makes me cry, but great memories :)

I think so.

😓

@@TheVintageApplianceEmporium you'll never forget mom & dad , whether it be the look/or sound they are always near.

My dad too ...he said this was Elvis at his best

vor allem dieses in -The Ghetto finde ich toll

@@ChristaSchulze-bc2gl Ja, das stimmt.

damn right it is ( hard core heavy/death/screamo fan here)

Fitzgerald Parchment BLESS THOSE KIDS and I LOVE JESUS and if you got a kid in need do what was necessary to HELP THAT child.
