The famous Marc Cohn tune takes you through the sites of Memphis.

Song trivia: This is about a "spiritual awakening" by Cohn while visiting Memphis in early 1991. Cohn was both spiritually and musically inspired by Memphis, particularly by Elvis and Graceland, W C Handy, and also having met the Reverend Al Green. He heard Rev Green preach at Full Gospel Tabernacle, and was moved by the Christian gospel message. Afterwards he traveled to Tunica Mississippi, to the Hollywood Cafe. That is where one particular well known song line comes from, when he spoke to Muriel the pianist there. He was invited to play the upright piano on the small stage. After realizing his talent for music, she asked him, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?". He replied, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
