About Walking in Memphis

"Walking in Memphis" is a song written and originally recorded by singer-songwriter Marc Cohn and released as a single in March 1991 by Atlantic Records. The song's lyrics are autobiographical. They chronicle a trip that Cohn, then a struggling songwriter and singer, took to Memphis to overcome a bout of writer's block. After visiting the church where former soul singer Al Green was preaching, Elvis Presley's former home of Graceland, and a small nightclub in nearby Mississippi, he returned to New York and began composing the song. .
