    Walking in Memphis" is a song written and originally recorded by American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, for whom it remains his signature song. It received a Song of the Year nomination at the 34th Grammy Awards in 1992, the same year that the 32-year-old Cohn won the Grammy for Best New Artist.

    The song's lyrics are autobiographical, chronicling a 1985 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, as well as wandering various streets of downtown Memphis, he returned to New York and began composing the song. While writing and recording sessions continued through the late 1980s, his debut album, on which the song was the lead single, was not released until 1991.

    stubass - I did some stereo panning and rearranged the tiles for an improved video layout. Play and publish from the main Studio page, if you like the changes. I might want to add this one to my YT page as well.

    @stubass: It hasn't been done. You seem to have difficulty with publishing from the main Studio page (not DAW). If you would try it again, that would be great. Thanks.

    @stubass: Oops! Never mind, my bad. It did publish, but the thumbnail hasn't updated yet. Sorry about that.

    @stubass: Actually - After listening to this newly published mix, I can tell you published it from the DAW page, because the stereo panning is backward. That's a glitch in DAW which dennisski and I were just discussing. Please, if you would, republish once again, this time from the Main Studio page, rather than the DAW page. Thanks a bunch!
