Elvis & Lisa Marie: The Touching Story Behind "In The Ghetto"
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sing a duet with your legendary father, even after his passing? Lisa Marie Presley turned this poignant dream into reality with her posthumous collaboration with Elvis Presley on "In the Ghetto," a powerful rendition that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
In 2007, Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the iconic Elvis Presley, created a moving tribute to her father by adding her vocals to his 1969 hit, "In the Ghetto." This reimagined duet served not only as a commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death but also as a testament to their enduring bond and the timeless message of the song. The song, originally penned by Mac Davis and initially titled "The Vicious Circle," paints a stark picture of generational poverty, telling the story of a child born into the Chicago ghetto, his mother already struggling to provide for her existing children. Elvis Presley first released "In the Ghetto" in April 1969, and it quickly became a hit, resonating deeply with listeners globally due to its powerful narrative.
