It was Hank Snow, his was the hit version. No one ever heard of it by Cash until that commercial. And for the record, it’s really an Australian song, so Hank Snow’s people had to translate all those Australian cities into American cities. Pretty amazing.

“Next was Memphis, I never really chose a song for Memphis because there are so many.”
The Memphis library maintains a running list of all the songs that include Memphis in the lyrics. I’m not sure of the current total, but it’s well above 1,000 songs. I said “Walking in Memphis” was my favorite, but it’s next to impossible to pick a favorite.
Oh, and I’ve known Denise LaSalle and her husband, “Super Wolf” (James Wolfe) for thirty years.
Thanks SMGFan ((((Hugs)))

Poughkeepsie — City of Sin (Batteries Not Included, 1980).
This cult classic is about the town where I grew up. Although Batteries Not Included first recorded the song in the slide-show video, below, in 1980 (or something like that), the video was recorded in 2010. Most of you will recognize several of the people in the video.
