Rarely Heard: Mac Davis - In the Ghetto

We all know this song performed by Elvis Presley. Less known is the fact that Elvis never wrote any of his songs. He shared songwriting credit on a few tunes, like All Shook Up and Don't Be Cruel, but it's generally believed that he had nothing to do with writing them. Mac Davis was hindered to release In the Ghetto, because it was "too controversial", but with Elivs it became a hit. Mac Davis also wrote A Little Less Conversation and had his own number one hit in the 70s with Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me.
