the song refers to the incident in which Elvis drunkenly called Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant nigger" while fighting with Stephen Stills and his entourage. That "slip of the tongue" cast him as a "villain," unfairly to some extent. Ray accepted his apology so I'm pretty sure it's all good. Plus it inspired Elvis to record an album full of soul-driven songs like this one, so +1
