It's a crime that Marc Cohn didn't become a bigger star.

I know Mark Cohn is Jewish. That makes the line, "Are you a Christian, Child?....M'aam I am tonight". An extremely powerful line.....it was completely truthful.....he was so moved he was transformed to the place, the time and the people.......POIGNANT, POWERFUL AND TRUTHFUL

One of those songs, that the first time I heard it, I knew was a classic, and would always be a favorite of mine. I'm now 70years old , and that hasn't changed. Thank you Marc , for the good feelings, your performance of this song has given me over the years. From New Zealand / Aotearoa. Arohanui .

You know, my father absolutely loves this song. When I was little, I’d hear it when he put it on, but since I didn’t know anything about Elvis, Memphis, Gospel, or anything like that, I didn’t really “get” this song. When I was about 18/19, I heard this number, and I finally got it!

Walking in Memphis Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me? Yeah, I got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a boy can be Then I'm walking in Memphis Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel? Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered 'round his tomb But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King Down in the Jungle Room When I was walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel? They've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air And Reverend Green be glad to see you When you haven't got a prayer But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would Do a little number And I sang with all my might She said "Tell me are you a Christian child?" And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight" Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis) Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis) But do I really feel the way I feel? Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis) I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis (Walking in Memphis) But do I really feel the way I feel? Put on my blue suede shoes And I boarded the plane Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues In the middle of the pouring rain

This looks like Austin CIty Limits. Wish I could find the whole concert. I've seen "Fever" and it is a great finale. It takes guts to come out and play solo - and to vary the rhythm, timing and style of piano blues. What a musician. What a great career. Keep writing and playing, Mark. Love the new album studio videos!

Live acoustic with no autotuning or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
