Memphis Was On A Roll - Tony Pratt Sings

Tony Pratt sings Memphis Was On A Roll. Writers are Charles W. Lewis, Jim Johnson, and Ronnie Flannigan. So, I was going through some of the music produced by my dad Vernis Pratt when I came across this song Memphis Was On a Roll. I had heard it before but not with a female voice. I loved it. So, I recorded it as a tribute to the spirit that lifted us out of the great depression. It is also dedicated to the recent tornado and flood disaster victims in Alabama, Tennessee and throughout the south. Lets all find a way to help each other more.

Love this.............when I first heard the line, "The daddy was the great depression"

and then realized this music, this rock and roll gave people HOPE. Similar to the great horse SeaBiscuit did in the depression..........the music changed their states of dread and misery..........this world has truly been rocking in more ways than one lately! Wow! Great work Tony. P. Martin (What's next?)

Tony, that was a great idea and its a super great video. You video has inspired me to put something together from my photos of Alabama(Atmore & Flomington) and Mississippi ( Pascagoula---Bay St.. louis---Biloxi--- Gulf Port) where i worked with Southern Baptist Disaster teams from Hazard,KY. teams. We were there for 6 wks and i took a lot of photos while working in different areas of the coast. . Thanks from your Uncle Cordis
