Memphis Beat, 1966
Written by Allen Reynolds, Dickey Lee, and Milton Addington
A boogie-woogie ode to Memphis music, like a distant great-uncle of "Nashville Cats." The opening lyrics would fit perfectly in a Chuck Berry rocker: "Down the Mississippi where the water gets muddy / Forty-four school where the kids don't study." But after that it's all about that beat that's in your blood. The beat is tough! The song references Manfred Mann's 1966 hit: "We got New Orleans and a doo wa diddy."
