Best Answer

Elvis Presley. It was written by Mac Davis who also recorded it. It is very unusual for a White artist to do a piece about Race problems- and in l968! The song ends sadly, with the death by gunshot ( apparently suicide, as no gun battle is indicated, or a chase with the police) by the unanmed protagonist- the Angry Young man, ( face down in the street with a GUNNNN in his hand, in the Ghetto ! ( Presley emphasized the word (Gun). It is also anti-gun, as is the sickening Run Joey run, where a family argument escalates into Homicide.
