Walking in Memphis | Live Band Performance (Marc Cohn) | Sing it Live

[@AndyTychon]

Holy smoke, what a voice. Truly some of the best musicians in the world 👏👏👏

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you so much :)

[@ruedili68]

absolute !!!

[@robrobuck932]

Yeah, really love those guys.

[@b33p]

lol it isn't live, there was post-production on this. It would be cool if the band could openly admit this.

[@poopnukem4079]

​@@b33p Having some production on it doesn't change that it's clearly played and recorded live..

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you so much for the kind words, it was a pleasure to work with such amazing people and musicians. Darren recorded my first album Soul Fire in 2013. It was so great to catch up again. How good is the band and production? I'm so glad to hear so many are enjoying it. Huge love :)

[@singitliveworld]

Great job Matty. Hoping to get you on more videos in the future

[@SoundzAlive1]

It should be official that Adelaide is now the Memphis of Australia!!! André

As someone from Memphis, thank you for this timely cover. We need this energy in Memphis, the city is hurting right now. And props to Mario for his Sun Studios shirt!

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

Sun is an amazing tour even better than Graceland and good like STAX I wish American Studios was till standing. Prayers for you all this weekend

[@guymerritt4860]

Great cover. Yeah, what timing, eh? Horrible situation in Memphis at the moment. Love from Michigan - to Singit Live, and, Memphis.

Spectacular performance in the Magic Music Room. Matty Rogers is great; another of the unbelievably talented performers in Australia. Beautiful country, kangaroos, koalas, excellent bagels and paella in Brisbane, what more could you ask for!

[@Jonbwriter]

That lady singing backup has a voice made for gospel. And the man singing lead just nails Marc Cohn. Just a great job overall.

[@natalieshandor8311]

Wow first time hearing this band and singer ❤ they all sound fantastic

[@glennjelich3174]

Absolutely nailed it.....first class vocals. Darren's piano perfectly creating the soul of this song. Brilliant guys one and all

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you so much :)

[@rikrushton6826]

Such an Iconic song with so much more meaning than on first appearances - especially the lyrics Now Muriel plays piano, Every Friday at the Hollywood, And they brought me down to see her, And they asked me if I would, Do a little number, And I sang with all my might She said "Tell me are you a Christian child?"And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"... They were inspired by Marc Cohn's real life encounter with 'Muriel' where he found himself explaining the pain of the loss of his mother… At the end of the impromptu public jam session at 'The Hollywood", Muriel told Mark - "You've got to let go of your mother, child, she didn't mean to die, she's where she's got to be and you're where you have to be, child, it's time to move on." ❤❤👏👏👌👌🎤🎤

[@theseeingeye454]

Thanks for back story. Very touching and a lesson for us all.

If these were visual comments, you could see the tears streaming down my face. Tears of joy witnessing this sonic delight. Darren nailed that iconic haunting piano part; Matty perfectly capturing the blue-eyed soul from the original. Masterful musicians, artists all. And perfectly arranged and produced by #producernerd. Thank you for my treat-of-the-week!

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

So happy it resonated with you, thank you :)

[@CiaoGibson]

I can honestly say that this performance is absolutely spectacular in every way, shape or form. The vocals are incredible, the music is perfect and the mix is the best I have ever heard from any performance from all over the globe. Congratulations to all and Darren you are simply a genius. Thank you for sharing this and congratulations to you all. Keep sharing your gift with the world… spectacular.

Rest in peace, Elvis and Lisa Marie.

[@charlesknox8721]

Memphis is magic, and this song captures it.

[@WilliamLWeaver]

Not sure that I have heard a performance in which the rhythm was so perfectly supported by the melody before. Absolutely hypnotized. =]

[@robh3267]

It doesn't matter to me what the song is, if I see Stefan has anything to do with it I'm clicking it, I could listen to all those voices everyday all day, they are all as good as it gets, absolute perfection.

[@King3star]

This song lifted my spirits at a really tuff time (death of #2 son). When the piano started my eyes got misty. Then Mat started singing and I gulped. It was a heavenly choir when Zyke, Haukster and Darrin all joined in. Thank you so much.

[@KevinORourke25]

I no longer care one wit about this song. I only can think about the hurt of losing children. I hurt for you my friend, I hurt for you.

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thanks so much :)

[@dmanmusic1]

One of my favourites here on Singit Live...being a keyboard player, I can really appreciate the great playing Darren does on this song. Great singer as well and an A+ band!

[@discoinferno112]

Wow, listening to this I was immediately transported back in time to 1991 and was listening to Marc Cohn like it was brand new again! I came back to reality after thinking I saw the ghost of Elvis while I was walking in Graceland. It’s so sad I had to come back to 2023. But kudos you “Sing It Live!” You covers have truly become a magical elixir, and I can’t wait for Thursday’s and your new releases to take me away💜💯again, job well done!!!!

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you :)

[@KP11520]

First we lose Elvis' baby girl Lisa Marie, only to be followed with Memphis turning upside down with hurt and anger. And here you all are delivering an anthem for all those people! Magically timely! Everybody already told you how well you nailed it, especially with those vocals front and back, yet again! So I'm going to leave it at THANK YOU!

[@rosacarbone6166]

Beautifully haunting. The typical executed perfectionism from Darren. We will miss Memphis Girl ( Lisa Marie Presley RIP) now walking with her Son and Daddy. Timely and soulful, Singit Live crew. ❤

Always a little nervous to listen to a cover of a song that I hold a deep love for. But this crew never disappoints, and this was no exception. Killed it! I love what you guys do, don't ever stop.

[@garyjordan11]

WTF! Where do you find so many great vocalists in Adelaide? This guy interpreted Cohn’s classic beautifully

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you, that means allot.

Holy crap this was ever bit as good as the original if not better. Mattys voice is truly amazing. Just a stellar performance!!!

[@SCWgreg]

Damn. Matty, so so good. Man a tear to the eye. Way to end it Darren. Love you guys! Thank you.

[@derekdodds4530]

Well, I'm starting to take for granted that each new performance will be excellent. This one was no different. As usual, the musicianship was on point. The lead singer has a remarkable voice. He sounds so much like Marc Cohn and has so much soul. The backing vocals by Zkye, Stefan and Darren again were spot on, as usual. Thanks again.

[@mattyrogersmusic2298]

Thank you :)

[@cambium0]

One of those songs that was so good that the original artist was overwhelmed by his own song. Great job by everyone

[@gregorybohn9973]

That boy can sing! WOW!

I don't what the deal is, but the sound is so pure, in such a small room, just wonderful!

[@robertd.calkins361]

Not sure if you’re aware of events in Memphis but you picked a great day to release something positive about that city. As I write this comment the people of Memphis are walking peacefully. Hoping it stays that way and shows the rest of the world how to effect positive change.

[@singitliveworld]

this was recorded before any of the latest dramas. I hope things improve in Memphis and our thoughts are with the families affected 🙏🧡

A brilliant new player to the team! Bravo!

[@kenrangen]

I've never really cared for this song, but your rendition is spot on. Good job.

[@niccrovaix649]

This is one of those songs that is rooted to a time and place of significance, and to real life characters whose personal stories are part of the fabric of our own life story. It demands attention from the listener and it imposes a burden of reverence, honesty, and total involvement from artists performing it. You guys have nailed it! Wow, what an accomplishment!

Never heard better background vocals. So spot on. Outstanding again. You guys deliver such quality covers every week.

[@chisel83]

I remember the first time I heard this song, I was leaving the Glynde hotel in my fiat 124 sport and my girlfriend turned the old Alpine stereo on and this was pumping. Loved it back then and love it now 👍

[@MattyFitt]

It's just a timeless classic

[@atlarge988]

Since posted, I am returning to this awesome performance, at least a couple of time each day. Matty's vocals are exceptional and this is so well delivered by a very talented team under maestro Darren.

Musical greatness is measured from the emotion generated by the energy entering the ears and touching the soul. This one hits home front and center. Wow! Thank you.

[@leolansbergen7013]

No words, just goosebumps 👏👏

[@alanjakes7317]

If I didn't know better I would've thought I was listening to Marc Cohn himself. Terrific Cover!

[@MattyFitt]

First off let me have it known that I am the original "Matty" of this channel, but I will be humble and let this new interloper use my name with my permission 🤣! That aside, this is one of my favourite songs and he did it the justice it so richly deserves. I was always drawn to this song but it became more important after the wife and I visited Graceland. We had "Catfish on the table" on Beale Street and I had the honour of holding the microphone on the spot that Elvis used to record in Sun Studios (nice nod by Mario with the T-shirt of the studio). This is a very piano-heavy track which Darren pulled off excellently. The fade out at the end was especially good. Matty has a lovely raw growl to his voice which reminds you of Marc Cohn but brings his own twist to it. Look forward to more songs from him in the future. Zkye did the job of a whole choir with just her one voice, Stefan was totally in the zone and Mario and Damien pulled it all together. Another classic by the team which just gets better with every listen. Kudos as ever from "The One & Only" Matty 🤘👏
