"Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee..." Doug, if you had found that in less than a minute, you would have held a Mudcat Record.

I believe Johnny Rivers does that on his 'Johnny Rivers Rocks The Folk' album. I have it somewhere in the collection and can dig up further info if needed.

Chuck Berry wrote it. My favorite version is Jim Kweskin's Jug Band with Geoff Muldaur singing.

"Memphis" by Chuck Berry!
"Marie is only six years old, information please, try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee!"
