Walking in Memphis: Tom Jones (Live!)

Tom Jones signs Marc Cohn's Walking In Memphis (Live). Very rare! Date and time is unknown - most likely the late 90's.
I mashed the music and images together over my lunch hour so it's visually not the best but the audio is great.
In any case, it's really about the music and his voice.
Take note American Idol contestants in 2010. You cover this song the way Tom Jones does it ... Final Two - Guaranteed.
Enjoy!

Saw him sing this in concert live a couple of times - both times I felt it was the highlight of his show.

Thanks so much for bringing back the memory!

Elvis and Tom were good friends, this rendition of Tom's version is stunning and I would be happy if Tom would record this on his next CD.

Thanks discosuperstars for doin' a great job on this one.

The "Blue Suede Shoes" I believe are in reference to Carl Perkins and not Elvis...i

[TrueLight55]

Tom and Elvis were very close. This song starts and ends with "put on my blue suede shoes". The whole part just about Elvis is fantastic..."waiting for the King in the jungle room!". Did you know Elvis was awarded the W.C. Handy award? Elvis and Memphis go hand in hand. Did you know there an official Elvis Day in Memphis? Come on...put on your blue suede shoes and wait for Elvis in the jungle room! come on do it....see you at Graceland!

This is the first time I've ever heard this version - and I can't listen to it without feeling the emotion. Fair play to Mr. Jones - and RIP Elvis.. The King will live on forever ! xoxoxo
