The story behind this song: the singer, Cohn, was a young Jewish aspiring singer-songwriter from Cleveland, Ohio. He'd never been to Memphis before; in fact he'd never traveled at all. Upon reaching the South he was very moved emotionally after seeing an Al Green sermon, and underwent both spiritual transformation and professional growth. Al Green is referenced in the lyrics as "Reverend Green." In arguably the song's most memorable line, when Muriel (a bar piano player at the Hollywood cafe) asks Cohn, who was born Jewish, whether he's a Christian, he replies, "Ma'am, I am tonight."
