1. The Ghetto

   "The Ghetto is a socially conscious, mostly instrumental jazz-flavored anthem, released as the first single off American soul singer Donny Hathaways debut album, Everything Is Everything, released as a single in 1970 on Atlantic Records. The song was co-written by Hathaway and Leroy Hutson. The song was a 6 minute and 50 second extravaganza which built upon a cinematic feel with its lengthy instrumental though it did feature vocal ad-libs from Hathaway, who played Wurlitzer electric piano on the song, and constant chants of the song, which had a distinctive Afro-Cuban sound with congas. The song also featured additional backgrounds, dialogue from what sound like men talking on a street corner and a baby crying - that baby being Hathaway's own daughter Lalah before Hathaway ended the song with frenetic hand claps. When originally released in 1970, the song became a modest charted single, peaking at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart. The song was also featured on Hathaway's revered Live album in which Hathaway and his musicians played a faster version of the song and later featured Hathaway getting the audience into it singing the final chorus. The song was also used in the 1977 film Short Eyes.
