Marc Cohn

In 1991 when “Walking in Memphis” was breaking nationally, it was getting airplay locally on WMMS. For singer/songwriter Marc Cohn, a Beachwood native, it was a victory that had been a long time coming, as he scored his first hit with the track, which eventually peaked at number 13 on the Billboard charts and it was certainly a thrill getting the airplay on the hometown radio station that had meant a lot in his formative years. ore than two decades later, Cohn continues to come home periodically to Cleveland to play shows and he's said it’s always a lot of fun to see familiar faces.
