this is my kind of a song .It has a excellent singer Mr lou Rawls .Excellent story with a excellent beat .Living in a poor neighborood does not mean you have to stay there the rest of your life . .Having ambition and motivation . with a loving supportive family . . you will make it . As the saying goes you are born poor but you do not have to stay poor . The American dream lives on
DAmn this song speaks to me, wanna get out into the world an learn something, ONly heard this the first time and I know this here is the shit. IN a f'd up situation now -family, socially, financially, directionally, Metaphorically Im livin in my own version of the Windy City, and I got to get Lou's determination to get up and out!! Excellent song!!
if ever there was a legend it had to be lou rawls. any-one who doesn't feel moved to dance to this track may i suggest they check to see if they still have a pulse !
My Son Terence be chillin' to th Hawk in th Windy City now goin' on too long! And aaaaall I can say is -- come back home boy!

Lou Rawls would've been 74 this year.

I guess this is before "Tobacco Road" I know he used the intro in the Live version.
This is real here.
Thanks for posting.

And such great drum work, if you may take note, by a transplant from New Orleans, the late Earl Palmer.

Are you sure you're not thinking about the other song called Dead End Street that the Kinks did?
