This song and "Kentucky Rain" are the two best songs that Elvis did.

Proud to have actually lived at the same time as this man. So many genuine greats are no longer with us. RIP The King

As her young man dies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',Another little baby child is born in the ghetto ... and his mama cries.Mac Davis wrote the song and it was presented to Elvis and recorded by Elvis during the same big session as Suspicious Minds... Elvis was changing to be socially conscious. ... and who knows where it could have led... It was the first song Elvis recorded with a socially-conscious message. He was reluctant to do it for that reason but knew it would be big.This song is about poverty, describing a child who can't overcome his surroundings and turns to crime, which leads to his death.Mac Davis explains... "I was trying to come up with a song called 'The Vicious Circle,' how a child is born, he has no father, and the same thing happens. A friend of mine, Freddy Weller, who used to play guitar for Paul Revere And The Raiders, showed me lick on the guitar one day. I went home and fiddled around with it, I wrote the song and called him up at 4 in the morning and sang it to him. He knew I'd written a hit with his lick, but that's the way it goes...Tremendously sad song about the vicious circle of life. ...#elvis
