Just wanted to point out that Mulder and Scully's first dance:)
to the song "Walking In Memphis" was a cover of the wonderful
Marc Cohn song of the same name. Cohn won a Grammy for
Best New Artist for this fantastic tune (where is he now? His
debut album was STELLAR!). I think Cher committed sacrilege
re-doing this song! (Marc's was just so much better:))
Whenever I watch Never Again with Mulder at Graceland, I always
hum the lyric from this song:
There's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room!

Because he won the Grammy for Best New Artist he was required to sink into obscruity. Remember Milli Vanilli?

I believe Richard Marx (the singer) once said that the
Best New Artist Grammy was a death knell (spelling?) for whoever won
it...
or at least the precursor to a noticable career decline...
Maybe not those exact words, but in the past several years,
his theory has been mostly quite true!

When Ms. Sarkasian's album premiered last year, the reviews were, if memory
serves, quite tepid. The real vitriol was reserved for her cover of Cohn's
song. The words "must be heard to be believed" were tossed about by one wag.
I wonder whether all of that played a part in the use of that particular
version of that particular song...

His second album, "The Rainy Season," was excellent, too. I think I read
somewhere that he writes a lot for other performers.

Marc Cohn's debut album is brilliant. I just had to get that one off
my chest. "Walking in Memphis" is only scraping the surface. Cher
worked in PMP, but the actual, objective, real-life thought of her
covering that song gives me a facial tic.

I actually have The Rainy Season as well, but was disappointed with his
lack
of piano playing and more guitar songs (even though my favourite Marc Cohn
song "Perfect Love" is on acoustic guitar...)
Just found a great site on the man which says he should be putting out a
new
CD sometime next year:

Wow, two cool Marc/Mark Cohn/Cohen references on XF in two weeks.
First Mark Cohen from RENT, now Marc Cohn's song.:)
