Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn. He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour. He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College. The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn. Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage. On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled. Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
