Social commentary - check back EWF were influenced by Donny Hathaway - In The Ghetto, Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On, Bobby Womack - On 110th Street and no doubt Stevie Wonder - Living For The City - all great songs but Donny started this - it came out of gospel where he would sing an uplifting melody about a tough subject... a very clever way of getting the message across to people. Decent track though it doesn't sit well with EWF's millionaire lifestyle or Maurice White's Lamborghini.......
