If you DON’T get emotional listening to this song, there’s something wrong with you. Great reaction ❤️

I'm a 63 year old white male, and this song still gets to me. If this song doesn't get you emotional, you can't have a heart.

Elvis has been gone 45 years and he still touches people's hearts.

This song made me cry as a child when it was released and still makes me cry at the age of 59. The saddest part is nothing has changed in all these years.

Elvis grew up dirt poor in a "shot Gun" house and lived in a black part of Tupelo on "the wrong side og the railroad tracks" he never forgot what it was like to be poor !!!

"Why am I starting to tear-up?" Because you have a heart.

I just have a couple questions: what makes you think people will laugh at you for your becoming emotionally moved by a song? I'm a 48yr old combat vet who has seen and been involved in the deaths of alotta men, and I still get emotional when I hear certain songs,...ain't no one laughin at you, the fact that you're reactions are genuine is one of the reasons why many of us subscribe to your channel...🙂✌🏻🇺🇸

This song is timeless. Elvis had deep roots. He grew up poor. He dearly loved his mom. He loved gospel music and was inspired by the black community. He died August 16, 1977... a day I will never forget. But his music lives on forever.

No one should laugh at anyone for getting emotional over this or any other song. This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it, and I've never lived in a city or personally knew anyone that experienced this type of life. It affects me because no one should have to live this way. I grew up poor, but I grew up country, backwoods poor. Don't apologize for your emotions. It makes you human.

Never apologize for having a heart, if music doesn't move you emotionally then you don't really feel it. Love your reactions, keep them coming.

I'm 77 yrs old, white widow, who has listened to this powerful song ALL MY ADULT LIFE! I still cry every time!

That’s why there’s so many people requesting you do this song. We all get hit hard and cry over it. This song is from 1969, I was 10. Over the years I’ve listened to this song so many times! I’ve never stopped crying over it. The awful thing is that nothing’s changed. It’s as meaningful today as it was 50 years ago. 😢

Honey, nobody's going to laugh at you! Elvis just had a way of touching people!! You have a good. tender heart!

Your comment, “It’s still super current” is one of the saddest things I’ve heard in a while.

I was 11 when this was released. I bought it with my babysitting money. I never knew or heard of people living like this. I was crying and brought it to my mom, who loved Elvis. She held me and we cried together. To this day, I still cry since nothing has changed, Jayy. You have every right to cry. ❤

If more people would tear up and cry at the lyrics in this song, perhaps more would be the helping hand every child needs. If it moves a single person we create a better world for all. ❤

I’m a 55 year old, white, Canadian grandmother. I had an upper class upbringing and *I* cry every single time that I hear this song. If you don’t at least feel something, you don’t have a soul. Don’t apologize my dear for crying. We’re crying with you.

I’m a white male in my 50’s and I STILL lose it every time he sings “ and his mama cries “ Watching your face gives me hope some people still care in a careless ,self centered world

You are definitely not the only one. It is a powerful song. Elvis grew up in Tupelo Mississippi. Dirt poor and attended revivals in the black community because it was his community. You're a sweet person.

There is no shame in crying, only a fool or a liar denies their feelings. The fact that you can empathise with the characters in the song shows how genuine you are.

The song was written by Mac Davis but Elvis was the only one who could release this song and not have their career destroyed at the time, Elvis felt this was a very important song and issue.

Mac Davis, who wrote In The Ghetto, died today. RIP.

The song touched you because all these years later only time has changed but the circle is still the same . All races have their ghettos and the more we think we are different the more we find out we have far more in common. Life long Elvis fan from Memphis ,Tn.

I have cried over this song for over 50 years. Every time I hear it.

Honey, please don't think that anyone is laughing at you! I am a 63 year old white woman raised in Florida, and this song always makes me tear up. Every time. The saddest part is that nothing has changed. It still goes on. You've just shown your heart and it's tender and loving.

What you're feeling is why this song is still hitting home over 50 years after it came out.

Elvis brought out so many emotions back then with this song and to this day it is still relevant...he was ahead of his times !! He was a beautiful soul who truly cared about all people !! Goosebumps and tears all around with this song !!!

You shouldn't fell that you have to apologize for being moved emotionally by an Elvis song. I'm 53, and it still makes me cry, and you have been touched by the "Elvis effect" and that is why he was HUGE. His Hawaii concert drew 1.5 million viewers in 1973. That's a very large part of the whole world. You just have a heart, and it shows!

Elvis cared about people. He grew up in extreme poverty, so he sings about what he knows. He lived in a one room shack and lived on govt welfare. This song is definitely from his life experiences and is truly from his heart.

I'm a 76-year old Bible believing Christian white man, and I never knew or even heard of you before I saw this video. Now I know everything I need to know about you - I know your heart. Something else I know is that we'll never meet on this planet, but we will become great friends in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Looking forward!

One of the golden gems that glistens in this song is the fact that it transcends racial stereotypes. It places deep emotions in the heart of all people who listen.

We are all feeling this way...this song was sung in 1969 and its still relevant today. Chicago back in 50s and 60s was a ghetto......its a gangland community where black mothers are still crying. Elvis Presley lived in the projects of Memphis and attended a black church where gospel music colored his experience in the music industry. He was a man of heart and soul......not surprising that he would sing a song like "In The Ghetto" its no wonder the black community is finding him relevant today and seeing for the first time his deep concern for humanity. .

Elvis was foremost a gospel singer. Whitney Houston's mother was one of the backing singers...

Girl ain’t nobody laughing at you. Music does this to people with big hearts 🥰

Sweetie, you are NOT alone in your reaction to this song; MILLIONS of others have had similar reactions over the years. It just means that you, like Elvis and those other millions, have good hearts that are moved by these kinds of messages. May God bless you! 😊💖

I grew up with elvis, im 39 now but my father was a huge fan and still to this day I get very emotional when I hear his songs, my dad passed away 7 years ago and I still listen to Elvis religiously and I get choked up on this song and If I Can Dream there are others that get to me and I'm not embarrassed about admitting it so don't feel embarrassed about crying let it flow.

I am 61 and it crushes my heart that we, as a people, haven’t evolved out of this tragic pattern.

This song affects everyone. Anyone with a conscience will cry or feel like crying.

I think your reaction to the song is just precious. Elvis grew up in the Memphis ghetto and he never forgot where he came from. Prior to that his family had lived in a 2-room shack in Tupelo, Mississippi. What I would like people to know most about Elvis is how generous he was. He bought countless houses and cars for his housekeepers, security men, etc. He was legendary for his generosity. Had such a good heart he just had to share with everybody.

Jayy - DON’T ever apologize to anyone for showing your true feelings. Too many people show what they perceive to be the emotional reactions that others want them to show rather than their true feelings. Be proud of your honest reactions. Being a Senior and living through these very times, it’s unfortunate so many of us ‘looked the other way ‘. What a different world today could have been if we had only tried!

Nobody gets through this song without tearing up. You're not weird.

This is why Elvis is the king. He saw all people. He didn’t just cater to whites especially in a time of extreme racism

I'm 57 and cried right along with you. I've heard this hundreds ot times and it still gets me. It shows your good heart.

What really makes the song heat breaking, is the fact that it can be looped to play over and over again, like the song "This is the song that never ends". And, in that way, it is a true reflection of life in places like the ghetto. A vicious circle that seems to never end. And, as a fifty-three yo male, it still makes me tear up. Even moreso, when I see young people react as you did. Say what you will about music before my generation, they knew how to touch your hearts and make you get the "feels".

Honey, I'm 61 years old, I've heard this song hundreds of times in my life, and it STILL gets me teary-eyed. Such a sad song, and it resonates today. We still have mommas who can't afford to feed their kids. We still have young, hungry kids who turn in the wrong direction. We haven't come far, have we?

And did you note that he never mentions race in this song, he just says child.

Elvis was so amazing!!!

My older sisters introduced to Elvis back in the early 70's,, it's amazing that the year Elvis died is the only thing I remember about that year I was 7!! What's also amazing is that i heard 6 different reactions to this song prior to watching yours and every single one made me cry ! Then I saw your reaction and I felt every emotion you were transponding through your video screen !! Your reaction was genuine,, raw , emotional, and true just like the singer who performed thus amazing souk grabbing song !!

Young Lady, I'm white and 63 years old and it still makes my eyes water, beautiful song and you are beautiful...

That’s why Elvis is “the king”. His voice takes us on a journey

I’m a 60 yr old Granny. I’ve heard this song dozens of times over the years. I still cry and get chills.

I have loved this song from the first moment I heard it. I think it's relatable to all communities, races and creeds, and still usually makes me cry when I listen to it 💙✊

One of Elvis’ backup singers was Whitney Houston’s mother, she absolutely adored and loved Elvis. Love hearing her talk about the memories singing with him

Don't feel bad, this song affects almost everyone on some level.

I'm 53 yrs old Elvis is from my parents generation and I've heard this song hundreds of times through the years and it's on one of my Playlists and it makes cry every single time. It's an emotional song and still relevant today!

You absolutely have no reason to be embarrassed or ashamed. Many of us tear up even after hearing this song a dozen times. Thank you for sharing. You are awesome!

Anyone with a heart cries at this song. Every time.

Elvis had a huge respect for the black artists and their legacy. In is comeback concert in 1968, he acknowledged the influence of R&B and Gospel in Rock’n Roll.

Welcome aboard, young lady! I'm a 61 year old Hispanic man who was born and raised in Los Angeles CA. , and heard this song when I was in High School, and I actually cried when I heard it on the radio. Don't be ashamed for having emotional feelings, about such a real situation. Hopefully, one day this song will no longer be relevant to people's suffering.

Never feel bad for your emotions. It means you have a good heart! I am a 57 old white grandma and I grew up listening to Elvis since my mother loved him so much. I choked through the whole video right with you. This song is very deep and he sings it from the heart. When he passed aways it was a terrible time for so many people. Elvis will never be forgotten! His music will move peoples hearts forever! I loved your genuine reaction. Bless you! 🙏❤️

As a 58 y.o. white woman this song still makes me react the same you are. Which means it is doing exactly what Elvis wanted it to do. To bring awareness to how difficult things were in the black communities. I grew up with a judgmental, racist and atheist father and a completely opposite of that loving Mother. I thank God she taught me her ideals, her compassion and she made sure I went to church every Sunday and most Weds.. Elvis was outcast by the older racist white community. Because of the music he loved so much. He went to a Black Baptist Church in his neighborhood throughout his teens and he sank in the choir. He understood very well the struggles that Black people faced or had to deal with then. He often spoke out against such things. Radio stations refused to play his records because they sounded "black" ( not the words they used back then ). He was banned from playing in many shows/ concerts in his early career for the same reason. And was told by the same ones who refused to give him airtime, " If he'd change the genre of his music they would play his records. That America did not want to hear that ------ music . That he was ruining his music career. " He refused to change. Back then the Black artist were angry with him for playing " their" music. The white artist laughed at him and the older white generation hated him. He was just making music that he loved he knew he wasn't doing anything wrong. It just took awhile for everyone else to realize that. Music knows NO color.

Now you understand why my moms generation ADORED Elvis as no other artist has ever been ADORED. He grew up poor in Missippi, and his voice lifted him out of poverty, but he NEVER forgot where he came from.

Girl, feel your feels. This song is 50 yrs old and still relevant today. Elvis was born dirt poor in the ghettos. He was raised knowing was it was like to be hungry and poor. He never forgot.

its hard not to get emotional just listening to this song because it has meaning and its very touching

If one does not have strong emotions listening to this song, one has no heart. I'm 58 years old and I STILL get chills when I listen to it.

You'll see plenty of people cry to this song, including men. No one's laughing who can truly hear it. They're crying with you.

I did grow up listening to Elvis (I am now 52) and he was my first celebrity love. I was 7 when he died, and I was crushed. But this song has ALWAYS had the same reaction to it that you experienced in this video. Seeing others react emotionally towards his music is incredibly humbling. He has a full catalog of music that shaped my views of the world and society, and my love for all people. This video shows how sweet your soul is, and I am so happy to have found your channel.

Elvis can take any person on an emotional roller coaster ride regardless of what he's singing.

Honey, you are NOT the only one who cries to this song. I have been hearing this song my whole life. My Dad was a Native American and a cop. My Mom was a lily white Irish nurse. We grew up very near this situation. And that could have been my brother, my sisters or me. They worked HARD to make sure we didn't. Just so you know, Elvis was one of the FIRST TRUE ACTIVISTS. When he was told his band and back up singers would have to go in a SEPARATE entrance from him because they were black he told every single venue the same thing: They either come in with ME, or WE are NOT performing at all. Funny thing, he NEVER had another problem. Neither did the ladies or the band. He set the stage Jayy. Everyone else followed him. BTW, if you like church and Gospel music, listen to ANY of his Gospel albums.

Elvis got his start in gospel. He has many songs that are deep.

This is why Elvis is SO loved. He spoke the TRUTH!

I reacted the same way when I first heard this song in 1968. It still pulls that same emotion from me now. That is the timelessness of music that it can pull that emotional response from generations of people. We are all human, and we feel we connect with our hearts and our experiences. We are more together than we can ever be apart.

Jayy, anyone who laughs at someone for crying is weak. And cold. And mean-spirited. Never apologize for crying or feeling empathy. And I'm crying too.

You can't go wrong with Elvis. He can be really deep. He can be really fun. He can be really romantic. he can spiritual. He can be country. He's EVERYTHING!!!

Nobody is laughing at you, we are crying with you. Thanks for the heartfelt reaction to Elvis.

You are not alone in your emotional reaction to this song by Elvis. I am 75-years-old white female and loved him from the start! I think I've heard "In the Ghetto" hundreds of times but this time I actually got chills running up my arms and spine! Perhaps because Elvis truly believed the words he spoke. He was always polite, loving and generous and believed in God with all his heart. And, yes, the problems of this earth still remain but every once in a while, someone breaks free from all the sadness and strife of the Ghetto and makes a better life. I appreciated your deep empathy and tearfulness.....you are a loving young woman and sometimes we just cry when it hurts. Nothing wrong with that. Don't change please!

don't worry, I'm a 58 year old white man and I can't hold back tears either

Whitney Houston’s Mom was one of his back up singers. She always said, when he was on stage. You just wanted to look at him always.

I have been listening to this song since I was a child and at almost 40 I still cry hearing it most of the time. Never apologize for feeling.

Elvis made this song to touch people. And it touches everybody with a heart.

This song is over 50 years old, and it is even real today. I would never ever laugh at you for showing such real emotion sweetie ❤️

This is why he’s “The King”, if it was anyone else it wouldn’t affect you like this. Look for his gospel songs live, he’s moving.

This song came out when I was five and I still tear up 53 years later. I'm not a crier so don't feel bad, it affects many of us that way.

Don't be embarassed about crying. This song touches many hearts. Elvis was very aware. He had a tough childhood, his family were poor and he grew up amongst African/American people and he well knew their plight. A very conscientious humanitarian. A beautiful man❤️ thanks for your reaction 🌏🪐🌕🙏🇦🇺🐦🦋🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I'm a 52 year old white man crying, so laugh at me as well.

No one is laughing at you, sweetheart. We are all here because we feel this just as you are relating to it. Great lyrics from Mac Davis who knew the ghetto and sung by Elvis who lived some of the same poverty and hopelessness. Sung in 1969 and we still share tears today. Sure Elvis is known for his swivel hips and "Hound Dog". But this is where his heart lives.

If you don't tear up during this song, you are disconnected from our world. White, black... it don't matter. While Elvis will always be the King, his backup singers are angels. God Bless you for sharing this.

I am a man from Sweden, who has never witnessed misery, but Elvis' message gets through every time. Because a mother in Sweden never cries, the rest of us help her, not bring her down

The song affected you because you are human. The degree of emotion is wrung out of you by the gift of the singer to convey his feelings and touch your soul . You just heard A Master story teller. It's a window into why he is The Mountain. Elvis was not afraid of what others would think , right was right and the message needed to be delivered.

2020 and I've heard this song a 1000 times. But knowing Elvis childhood and background it still gets me emotional. He had his demons but he actually had a heart of gold and cared about people.

Damn woman, you got me tearing up too, and I’ve heard the song a million times! Seriously though, between his voice, and the message, it’s really hard not to. By the way, never be ashamed about being moved to tears by art. As Jimmy V said, you’re 1/3 of your way to a very worthwhile day.

I was introduced to this song 30 years ago as a little kid sitting in my grandma's car with her jamming to an Elvis cassette. It hits so deep now as an adult.

If you don't feel emotion then you must be dead inside. This song is sad cause it's real

I'm 73 and white and this song has making me cry for a long time. Never feel shame or embarrassment at tears, OK?

Elvis was ahead of his time as well as being timeless .He made you feel what he was singing . You had a wonderful and sincere reaction . Loved it !

Your tears are contagious. I'm a 67 year old white woman that grew up in the 60's who gets emotional seeing the younger generation experience Elvis. it saddens me that the ghetto of 50 years ago hasn't changed much.

That’s the thing about Elvis. Whatever he sang he knew how to make the songs believable whether that be ballads, gospel, blues, country and rock n roll. I am sure if you listened to more of his catalogue you will discover why Elvis still has so many fans 42 years after his death.

65 years old, white, and crying with you. Cried the first time I ever heard it and still cry when I hear it. If it don't touch you, you dead.❤❤❤❤🐺

Welcome to Elvis ' superpower. He is timeless in the ability to emote his songs in such a way that listeners feel it. I always cried when I listened to this song. Elvis grew up in severe poverty and his roots are gospel. Elvis sung 5 different genres over his career. He had combined some genre's including those from the black community that he grew up listening to that became his style of rock and roll.
