I love Piano songs but this one is so incredibly special... blue suede shoes and the King.... amazing touch by Marc Cohen...
"tell me are you a christian child ?..... M'am I am tonight !" - incredible lyrics....
And yes Thank You TommyLad for the upload - for the longest time i could not find any other version on YT other than... Ch.. God i cannot even say her name... i puke when i think she did a cover of this..
I LURVE this song! (Sorry, I tend to be very random!) :) Btw, the reason this is one of my favorite songs is 'cause I heard this on the radio one time and then I just stopped what I was doing, sat down on my bead and started humming along. I've always wanted to travel all over and songs like this just make me want to go out and see these places even more. I can't wait 'til I'm older, then I will be able to go see the world outside my backyard! (Ah, I can dream anyway!) :)
Absolutely love this song. And glad that Marc Cohn is still with us...love the voice, the keyboards and the gospel sound....and yes, Ma'am I am tonight too!
how can this song not have at least a million hits? why would people deny themselves access to such JOY? was born there and only God knows why we left still breaks my heart wish I was walking in Memphis
JFYI - The Reverend Green referred to in the song is R&B singer (and ordained minister) Al Green, probably best known for his 70s hit "Let's Stay Together".
W. C. Handy was the "Father of the Blues", a legendary Blues musician and composer. He died in the 1950s.
Thank you so much for uploading this, tommylad! You have excellent taste in music. :-) I have always loved this song, but haven't heard it played on the radio in ages.
I first heard this song sung buy a great Swedish singer, Sarah Dawn Finer (of american/british origin), in a Swedish music game TV programme. But I couldn´t catch all the lyrics. By the why, check her, it´s worth it! She´s on youtube, and I also can recommend her official website.
I love this song, so much...Memphis is a really great city, and Marc Cohn's voice is so gorgeous and well fit for this song...Thanks for uploading it.
@dkslfjgh Haha your comment just justified the fact that YOU in fact, have no life. I came on to hear a song, laughed at the description, and the person who posted the video got defensive over a small block of text and took it way out of hand, therefore, it amused me. If I didn't have a life, I wouldn't exist to be here to tell you that your ignorance definitely covers you well. Bye now. And no need to reply [which I know you will] because you'll further prove my point.
@Shleefais I'm the one with no life? Ok, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm not the one making stupid comments just to piss people off. Just grow up and enjoy the song.
@Shleefais Its not really a problem if he is excited about the views. He's probably heard the song a thousand times b4 b/c he posted it. So if he gets more excited that ppl are actually coming to listen to it,then thats not a bad thing.
I have heard many diff versions of this but none can touch marc cohn. sorry but the rest of you can stop trying already you can not do it as well as this guy.
@628ScottC My fave is "But boy, you got a prayer in Memphis". Whatever I'm doing, when that line comes up I'll be paused, eyes closed, waiting for it. :D
the other day we were in the car and this song came on my dads ipod i was like DAD TURN IT hes like jessica just listen so i did and omg i lov this song so much!!
I always loved this song. Its about time the real, original version gets posted. All the other postings of the song are either live cuts by Marc Cohn (which a few weren't bad) or people playing cover versions of this song, or people just playing a wannabe version on the piano before the web cam. Thanks so much for posting this! You rock!!
Dieses Lied liebe ich heiß und innig! Ich glaube, ich war etwa fünf, als ich es zum ersten Mal gehört habe, und es ist seitdem bei mir die ungeschlagene Nr.1! "Walking in Memphis" weckt bei mir eine ganze Palette an glücklichen und optimistischen Gefühlen!
Very few songs give me goosebumps. This one is one of them. There is something very sad about this song, but at the same time makes you feel hopeful and positive.
Yeah...............this song is beautiful. Thank you Marc. I'm sure your sick of it by now, but for the rest of us....its nice to share in your amazing moment for four minutes and nineteen seconds. Thank you again.
Great tune! Too bad they sound like a trainwreck live! Thank goodness for recording studios! They can make anyone sound great! This is a phenomenal one hit wonder though!
I love this song!!!! Makes me feel like I'm flying in the air or actually in the city of Memphis!!!
