Ok still in college, company X flew me down from Iowa to Memphis and we ate at Elvis Presley's on Beale St. I got bored and walked out onto Beale watching the white horses pulling white carriages and looking down the street at Hard Rock and Roll Cafe... but across the street there was a crowd and so I crawled into the window not paying any attention to what I was doing. I climbed up into the window, grabbed the satchel, leaned back and looked up, "BB King's" I look on stage... BB King! Absolute true story! If you are from Memphis, you know the sights and so you know I'm not BS'n. I still have Marc's CD, Played "True Companion" for my first wife at our wedding... Cheesy but GREAT song...

[@MRM-Wendy]

Put on my blue suede shoes and i boarded a plane, touch down in the land of the delta blues, in middle of pouring rain..... 🎵🎼🎹🎹❤

[@cindyphifer970]

Love this song. Pam Tillis, Maybe it was Memphis is another beautiful song

[@moparty8196]

This song is so powerful. So full of examples of how an experience can change our lives. If you know the story of how Marc Cohn wrote this song, you know that he was going thru a terrible time in his life. In the song he describes the meeting with Murelle at the Hollywood Cafe, as a life changing experience. How she ignited a spark within him that changed his life, and his love of music. One line in the song, I feel, completely sums up his feelings at the time. "Touched down in the land of the Delta blues, in the middle of the pouring rain". He's been invited to this place. The heart and soul of real music. He arrives with hope but is still carrying the storm of despair (pouring rain), when this beautiful soulful woman touches his life, which puts him on an incredible life revival. We never know how much a simple act of love, might change a person's life.

Marc Cohn won The Grammy Award for "Best New Artist" in 1991. Marc Cohn is best known for the song "Walking in Memphis". His debut album with the hit song "Walking in Memphis" was later certified Gold in 1992 and certified Platinum in 1996 by the Recording Industry Association of America ,

[@TucBroder]

"Tell me are you a Christian child?" "Ma'am I am tonight!" Fantastic line... Greetings from a Christian ;)

[@RLKmedic0315]

It is meaningful in this song because Marc Cohn is actually Jewish.

[@thrillhausen8858]

The transformative power of music.

[@thecityman1910]

I came down to comment on the same line, and the best part was the smile that came across his face when he heard that line. I knew as a Christian he'd like it

[@lindseyb2052]

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been gone from Memphis, if this song comes on, the tears come and you sing it at the top of your lungs!

[@redstateforever]

I was a very little girl driving home with my family thru Memphis right when Elvis died. And yes, it was POURING rain. I’ll never forget it, headlights as far as you could see in both directions, going to send off the king. Crazy.

[@kimmagee9645]

oh i love this song, As an Aussie from a blue collar family, i never pictured id go overseas as a kid but in mid 2001, i was walking in Memphis, and i went to Beale street and drank a cocktail or two and listened to bands and we drove from Memphis to California, stopping to do stuff along the way like standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona (Eagles - Take it easy) this song always takes me back to my first trip overseas the America and since been back and other places :) Til covid 19 :(

[@rickwelch8464]

"WC Handy won't you look down over me" So good. WC Handy is the father of the blues, Marc knew he needed some divine assistance to go to Memphis to play at a black church and do them proud. This is my favorite song of all time, and frankly it isn't close.

[@stephanietip]

Like all great music it hints at his real life. He was just starting out and struggling he knew that the music was in him he just couldn't get it out. He went to Memphis in hopes that he could get inspired he went to a church service where Reverend Al Green was preaching the Al Green the famous singer. He went to a little place called The Hollywood Cafe where they had really great catfish. There was a school teacher in her late sixties that was playing piano at the cafe and singing gospel music. He says he wasn't sure why but he was just drawn to her. They sat together and they talked and he opened up to her about his life and his struggles and what he was trying to do with his music career. She invited him up on stage to sing with her. Her name was Muriel Davis Wilkins.But with him being a young Jewish man he didn't know a lot of gospel songs. The last song they sang was amazing Grace he did know that song so they sang it together, and that is where the part of the song comes in where she asks him are you a Christian child and he says ma'am I am tonight. His visit to Beale Street and his visit with Miss Muriel is what gave him his inspiration and got him through the block that he was in and he wrote the entire album in 7 months.

[@jackpeters9048]

Possibly the best rock/blues song ever....A hidden gem for those that have never heard it.....

[@seanjohnson3920]

I feel GOD listening to this every decade of my life. If I'm not singing to it, it's an automatic tear in the eye. Soul stirs greatly with this one.

[@deanna777]

This is what I call a"singing song". I can't help but belt it out with him everytime I hear it. Love it!

[@jasonmelton9755]

I saw your face go blank when the Jungle Room at Graceland was mentioned. The Jungle Room was originally the TV room. Elvis' girlfriend, Linda Thompson, helped him redecorate it in a jungle theme back in the mid-70's, with green shag carpet going up the walls.

[@feliciakidd9358]

Great music from the past. I like this song.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I’ve always loved this song! It reminds me of my visit to Memphis when I toured Graceland, rode a Riverboat, visited The Hard Rock Cafe and Beale Street! I’ve been meaning to go back because I didn’t get to visit the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered.❤️❤️

[@p.j.morris633]

I walk in Memphis everyday.. i have lived here since the early 70's i love it so much.

[@pippinbaker8440]

HEY Brother, this song is about NOW, WE ALL BEING TAKEN UP 2 B WITH THE LORD FOREVER,,, 8/28 Satarday in QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA, been WATCHIN' since 2012, THIS MORNING I WAS WOKE UP WITH THIS SONG, and I know it was confirmation WE ALL ARE BEING PARABOLAMA'D OUTTA HERE ANY DAY NOW,, BLESS Y'ALL HEAPS MEET YALL UP THERE. :))

[@berlyn3014]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. I live a couple hrs East of Memphis and I went to college at the University of Memphis. Every time I hear this song it's like a movie playing in my head. I wish I could describe how it makes me feel, but it's so complicated. I feel hopeful, nostalgic, proud, and a bit sad, and more that I can't put a finger on.

[@2tfts]

I think if any other voice had done this song it never would still be as famous and/or lasting!

[@brightsprite62]

Love the song as much today as I did when it was first released.

[@kenkurth5706]

Marc has an amazing voice. This song is a true CLASSIC.

[@kimsherrell2866]

Elvis was a awesome Christian man.

[@michaeltribbet9213]

I’m honestly suprised I don’t see more reactions to this song. If you havnt heard it in a while it’s a straight up tear jerker. Raw emotion and soul

[@jnagarya519]

"In the middle of the pouring rain" = depressed.

[@1719456]

I love this song & Marc's voice is smooth with just a touch of a growl. Another song I think you would enjoy is ''things we've handed down''.

[@russdy1982]

This is a staple song on Australian airwaves that’s frequently on rotation.

[@lauralapsley5839]

One of my favorite artists... Silver Thunderbird, Miles Away, Saving the best for last, don't talk to her at night..... So many good songs!

[@kingoftherodeo8380]

Don't talk to her at night is a work of art. Beautiful song.

[@kathyrutherford4485]

I love Silver Thunderbird, reminds me of my grandfather and his Thunderbird

[@kellylaflash1016]

I fell in love with his music the first time I heard this song way back when. Still have his first 2 albums - full of great songs.

[@marywarren8357]

The piano part always reminds me of a good Southern rain. My mom and I love this one; it reminds me of when we visited Memphis. It’s one of those songs where you feel as if you’re experiencing every lyric.

[@debbiebankscell]

I know what you mean. Those notes feel like big, fat raindrops hitting the sidewalk.

[@marywarren8357]

Debbie Banks Exactly!!❤️🌧

[@martinlewis6650]

The DILLIEOOOO is that this is still a top tune. A mega mid 90s song that in my opinion has stood the test of time. YADA YADA YADA PEANUT BUTTER. 💙💚💛🧡💜💖 Much love from the U.K. kidda✌

[@kathburg9513]

Awesome 👏. Thanks for not pausing the song 👌

[@kennethbecht857]

Marc has such a soulful voice. Great great song.

[@Divhreaza]

I don't think I've ever been through Memphis (unless it was just catching a connection in the airport, and that hardly counts) and I'm not even the hugest fan of Elvis, but dang I do love this song! And yeah, the piano does SO much for setting the mood. It evokes the feel of rain, and lends the whole piece a sense of nostalgia, even if it's for something that the listener has never experienced. It's been a favorite song of mine for some while now, and I'm glad you got to listen to it and enjoyed it as well.

[@allisgran9466]

Nice easy sound, good harmony

[@kimsherrell2866]

Beautiful

[@TraciKReacts]

Yes yes yes, I lived there for a year to go to art school and when I think of Memphis this is the feeling I get. One of my favorite songs and makes me want to move back every time I hear it!!

[@WhiteOwl1958]

I first heard this song 20 years ago and it still punches me as it did then. Thank you.

[@lauriebutler4115]

this is my favorite Marc Cohn song, but Silver Thunderbird is a close second! Please react to Marc Cohn - Silver Thunderbird (Official Music Video I think you will like it too.

[@garysteinert8555]

Great song. He has been through a lot in his life.

[@paulkardash2991]

Sir... I do like the way you do your thing... I like that you listen to the entire track... excellent! Much respect sir... I do like this song.. and yes music does a lot..

[@mikes_world]

Many people think it was a tribute to Elvis. Actually, Marc was experiencing writers block as well as other things going on in his life. So, he went down to Memphis and found inspiration through his experiences there and that included WC Handy (blues legend) as well as Elvis and others like Muriel who inspired him when he came in and played and sang many hymns with her. Lots of great inspiration for this song. It actually made him a big music star after writing this.

[@Takecareofyourbusiness]

You write this shit on every video comment? seriously? I tis a ELVIS TRIBUTE

[@Takecareofyourbusiness]

Beautiful tribute to the KING

[@thomasborders7838]

I've always liked this song.

[@anthonwest9541]

This is an all-time favorite. Love the piano!

[@tdrees93]

One of my all time favorite song

[@dodge96neon]

i enjoy going to different places where i get to see things that are unique and along the way meet people who live there and they not only tell me about them self but the community as well

[@nikkiplatt316]

I love when my dad plays this on his piano, grew up hearing it ❤️

[@redbladegaming420]

I love this song

[@cynthiadepriest8192]

Memphis is a great music city; gospel, blues, rock and it's down on Beale Street where the club's are.

[@dandan2968]

Was at the Hollywood today!!!

[@TripletDad3]

Check out Painted Desert Serenade by Joshua Kadison. It's a piano driven song about two old people who find love in a nursing home.

[@sheilathailand1903]

One of my favorite songs, thanks for doing it!

[@cathyk9302]

Marc Cohn does a great song called I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You.

[@lostinwonderart]

He was once a victim of a carjacking where he was shot in the head. The way he was shot, he was fine enough to drive his band away and call his wife. 😳

[@MRM-Wendy]

This song feels like Memphis. I always loved this.

[@timothyweston6087]

Great singer/songwriter. Owned his first two albums (as in LPs) they were great.

[@itmightbme]

Love love love! ❤

[@iowa7693]

[@patriciadowning4036]

You do like that slight huckiness in male and female singers. So do I! Tell me are you a Christian, child? Mam, I am tonight! So great.

One of my all-time favorites!

[@caralayne503]

I love this song. Thanks for playing it.

[@jamesmoffett526]

I've walked down many of the iconic music streets in America, Bourbon, Broadway (Nashville), 6th Street (Austin), but none of them bring the awe inspiring feel of Beale. The music just seems to have blended into the pavement there.

I like Cher's but they are both great

The Minister in you should react to Could you Believe by Al Jarreau live version.

[@mphillips351]

I used to own this tape (YES TAPE) his music is BLUES of course Memphis is the home of BLUES

[@bobsnow594]

Fantastic song. The cover version by Cher is also amazing.

[@karengertis7833]

Lonestar did a cover of this too.

[@michaeltribbet9213]

Also I think Marc Cohn was shot in the head, and was insanely lucky (as far as head shot victims go) to have the bullet lodged in a place that did no permanent damage. Wild story

[@GeorgiesMom723]

Please do Black Velvet by Alannah Myles

[@Believer1427]

Believe in Jesus Christ and the blood he shed for you and be saved from hell before it’s eternally too late if you haven’t already. May God bless you

[@omarebo1587]

I think this song has a beautiful meaning. Fisrt of all Marc, as a musitian, makes references to going to Memphis 'cause theres the Delta Blues (which is one of the 1st blues type of music), then he reffers to W.C. Handy, who was a composer and musician who was one of the most influential blues songwriters. He also reffers to Beale Street, wich is the location of the heart of music in Memphis. He said he was as blue as a boy could be, so a trip to Memphis provided him Joy by finding God in music!! A big hug from México City 🙂 Btw.. Ps. Hopefully one day you'll react to this Mr Mr Song that is so famous.. Lyrics are AWESOME!! ( Kyrie Eleoson = God have mercy) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-nm6dqe995jbs Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night Kyrie Eleison where I'm going, will you follow? Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the night
