Memphis is a city in the southwestern corner of the U.S. state of Tennessee and the county seat of Shelby County. The city is located on the fourth Chickasaw Bluff, south of the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers.
Memphis had a population of 653,450 in 2013, making it the largest city in the state of Tennessee, the largest city on the Mississippi River, the third largest in the greater Southeastern United States, and the 23rd largest in the United States.
The greater Memphis metropolitan area, including adjacent counties in Mississippi and Arkansas, had a 2014 population of 1,317,314. This makes Memphis the second-largest metropolitan area in Tennessee, surpassed by metropolitan Nashville.
Memphis is the youngest of Tennessee's major cities, founded in 1819 as a planned city by a group of wealthy Americans including judge John Overton and future president Andrew Jackson. A resident of Memphis is referred to as a Memphian, and the Memphis region is known, particularly to media outlets, as "Memphis & the Mid-South".
"Walking in Memphis" is a song composed and originally recorded by the Jewish-American singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, for whom it remains his signature song. Cohn said the song is "100 percent autobiographical". He described it as a song about "a Jewish gospel-music-lover", and as "a pretty literal transcription of a visit I made ... in 1986. I went to Graceland, I heard Al Green preach the gospel, I saw W. C. Handy's statue. But the song is about more than just a place, it's about a kind of spiritual awakening, one of those trips where you're different when you leave." It reflects on Cohn's experience as a Jew who feels the Gospel spirit of Memphis.
The last verse refers to Cohn's inspirational encounter with singer Muriel Wilkins, with whom he performed "Amazing Grace". This all culminates in the iconic lyric, " 'Tell me are you a Christian, child?' and I said, 'Ma'am, I am tonight!' " Cohn finds it funny that many listeners infer from the lyric that he is a Christian or born again. "But to me," Cohn said, "that line could have only been written by a Jew. It's such a Jewish line, and I love that."

In this week's video we visit Memphis Tennessee. It is running of fumes that we arrive at Memphis, Tennessee; and I'm not talking about old Kia. It is us. It has been an intense whirlwind road trip for almost two weeks now, and we are really ready for a break that won't come for another two days. I, however, am ecstatic to be staying here right next to the shore of the Mississippi. I have always been fascinated by this river mainly because of Mark Twain's stories. I can almost imagine Jim and Huck's raft coming downstream. We ignore our fatigue and decide to explore downtown a little bit. We walk along the bank of the river enjoying a spectacular sunset. Then we walk towards historic Beale Street, which is lined up with bars, most of them featuring live music. It is a real shame we are not...

Hurricane Ruth - Live in Memphis at Purple Haze
THE FIRST LADY OF GOSPEL PASTOR SHIRLEY CAESAR
Hello Mother
By Canton Spirituals
I had a dream one night
I dreamed I went home
To live with Jesus
And when I got there
One of the first things I saw was Momma?s face
I began to sing a song that I never sung in my life
And my song said
Hello Mother
I done made it over
Hello Mother
I done made it over
And I don?t know about you
But sometimes I had to cry
But he wiped the tears
From my eyes
And I made it over
And I?m alright now
(One more time)
Hello mother
I done made it over
You know what
I got mistreated sometimes
That?s alright
Still I made it over
I don?t know about ya?ll but
Sometimes I had to cry
Sometimes enemies
Went all the way around me
But I kept on singing
Kept on praying
Kept on praying
(ad-libs)
He wiped the tears
From my eyes
I made it over
I made it over
And I?m alright now
