Marc Craig Cohn (born July 5, 1959) is an American folk rock singer-songwriter and musician. He is best known for his song "Walking in Memphis" from his eponymous 1991 album Marc Cohn. He has issued four other studio albums to date: The Rainy Season (1993), Burning the Daze (1998), Join The Parade[1] (2007), and Listening Booth: 1970 (2010).
Cohn wrote the song "My Great Escape" for the 1995 Peter Horton film The Cure. However, the song, which was played during the opening sequence, was not released on the film's Dave Grusin soundtrack album.
In 1987, Cohn performed two songs ("One Rock and Roll Too Many" and "Pumping Iron") on the Phil Ramone-produced concept album of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express, Music and Songs from Starlight Express.
Cohn's new album, Listening Booth: 1970 (release date July 20, 2010) is a collection of covers from the year 1970.

  • @justinmathieu1 My next vacation will be because of this song!

  • @justinmathieu1 so you must be the guy that is working your way through every single youtube-video and writing that shit.....

  • @s13n1 I believe it's about Memphis. About how much soul the town has. I think.

  • @mytis123 well. luckily you have no more serious problems.

  • @mytis123 why does it matter? this is an audio clip with the same one picture of album art. who cares if you can't see the album art in HD?

  • I cant believe one of the top rated comments is complaining about video resolution on an audio clip

  • I worked in a supermarket and they used to play this all the time. I think i listened to this more times then anyone else in the world, probably 3 times a day for nearly 4 years. And you know what the amazing thing is after all these years? I still have no fucking idea what he is singing about. Elvis? Fishing? New Shoes? Fishing for Elvis with new shoes? Dunno why, but I always imagine a church full of happy clappers jumping around and singing, healing people & getting all emotionally retarded.

  • @TheWanderingWalrus For good or for bad?

  • Hi Tina!

    

  • Alot of people don't know that this song is a tribute to Elvis's untimely death.
