Written by Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson. Released in 1970 as a single by Hathaway. This song connects to other soul/jazz songs released by African-American artists of the early ‘70s such as Curtis Mayfield. This song, although it does not use very heavy lyrics, uses instruments to send its message. The Ghetto uses conga drums, electric piano, improvised vocals by Hathaway, and beats with Afro-Caribbean influence.
