| WALKING IN MEMPHIS Marc Cohn |
 |
Marc Cohn is a very gifted, underrated
musician who deserves to be better known.
Song trivia: This is about a "spiritual
awakening" by Cohn while visiting Memphis in
early 1991. Cohn was both spiritually and
musically inspired by Memphis, particularly
by Elvis and Graceland, W C Handy, and also
having met the Reverend Al Green. He heard
Rev Green preach at Full Gospel Tabernacle,
and was moved by the Christian gospel
message.
Afterwards he traveled to Tunica Mississippi,
to the Hollywood Cafe. That is where one
particular well known song line comes from,
when he spoke to Muriel the pianist there. He
was invited to play the upright piano on the
small stage. After realizing his talent for
music, she asked him,
"Tell me, are you a Christian, child?".
He replied, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
