After Elvis Presley, the song has been performed by many other artists. Among them were Sammy Davis Jr., Marilyn Manson, Natalie Merchant, Tracy Chapman, Susan Cadogan, Wet Wet Wet, Candi Staton, Dolly Parton, Bobby Blue Bland, Bobbie Gentry, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Ian Stuart Donaldson, Weeping Willows, The Cranberries, Merle Haggard, Hecchi & Kethmer, Leatherface, Three Six Mafia, DNX vs. The Voice, Bad Lieutenant, Fair Warning, Beats International, Eleanor Shanley, Jim Goad and Chris Clark. The Spanish singer and actor Enrique Castellon Vargas, also known as "El Principe Gitano" (The Gypsy Prince), recorded a version of the song, a version sung with such a thick Spanish accent that the English lyrics were almost uninintelligible. In 1990, The KLF used a sample of the Elvis recording in their ambient DJ album Chill Out, while a year later Norman Cook issued a dance version with his Beats International collective, which reached number 44 in the UK charts. In 1996, a 'Fugees-esque' hip-hop trio called Ghetto People had a top ten hit in the German charts with a version recorded with local singer Detlef Malinkewitz. As Malinkewitz was recording under the pseudonym L-Viz at the time, some broadcasters in the UK credited the record to El Vez by mistake. Mac Davis recorded a version of the song for a greatest hits album released in 1979. In 2011, Chris de Burgh covered the song on his album Footsteps 2. Gospel recording artist Reverend James Cleveland not only recorded a gospel version of the song, but he won his first Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance 1975 with the Southern California Community Choir for his 1974 album release, In the Ghetto. Dancehall singer Sister Nancy used some of the song's lyrics in the song "Coward of the Country", which appeared on her 1982 album One, Two. Following the death of the song's writer Mac Davis, Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker recorded a duet version of the song to honor him. It was released on November 11, 2020, immediately following a live performance at the 54th Annual Country Music Association Awards. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds version "In the Ghetto" was covered by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and was their debut single. It was recorded at the Trident Studios in London and released as a 7" on June 18, 1984, with the B-side "The Moon Is in the Gutter". It
