i heard this song today, on a grocery store's piped in music, and was instantly transported to a wonderful time 25 years ago and to people I have long since lost touch with. Kids, just remember, your parents were once people with dreams, and who connected with other people, and places, and who had to leave their dreams aside. It's your turn now and I just wish your generation had music as beautiful as this.
This is an great song, great southern song.I grew up in the 80's, this was that type of music in that time... Thankyou for posting it, along with the video you put together you did an excellent job.
Just got back from NOLA for Mardi Gras and the whole time I was there I was trying to remember this song! All I could remember was that it had "Pontchartrain" in it. It took some research but I'm so glad my memory was jogged and that you posted this great original version. THANKS Mempho!
in the heart of the night in the cool southern rain,there's a full moon in sight,and the river she rises just like she used to do...she's so full of surprises... this is my driving-after-work song.
Hey Mempho...I absolutely live this song!!! I don't know who did this video but it is fabulous!!! Everything about it is wonderfully done. Thanks for sharing this awesome song and video with all of us. AK
I love this song and I love New Orleans too. I go every year and EAT!! I really love Mother's on Poydras for breakfast and Margerittaville's for dinner. Of course Cafe du Monds. The time is coming up to go again in May, which is really hot at that time of the year, but it's all worth it.
JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS... I love this song & visited MemphoTenn's site regularly. I was here the day WMG (or whoever) deleted it. MemphoTenn was kind enough to direct me to the other site. I'm glad he or she posted the link, because there are fans who love this song. Just enjoy the song please. Peace to all.
I have had this video for a while now but since it was switched over to ONE you can no longer hear it. MEMPHOTENN...Could you please put sound back on this video. I live your creation on it and I love the song and would love to get to see and hear this once again. I would watch and listen to this 5-10 times a day ! I fell in love with the video and then the song! PLEASE PUT THE SOUND BACK! Hugs and THANK YOU FOR YOU'RE AWESOME WORK ON IT!!! Please if you have time...drop me a note when sound is back. :)) :)) :))
@PEDROCLASSIC lol yep they are a great band. They're still playing festivals and clubs. George Grantham, the drummer, suffered a stroke in 2004 and no longer plays with them, but they remain close. George Lawrence replaced him. Paul Cotton unfortunately has left the group just recently -supposedly over a financial dispute-.. . Jack Sundrud had joined the band, and Michael Webb will be replacing Paul for upcoming tour dates
Hey Memph...I absolutely love this video!!! I used to watch this all the time but now I can't hear it! What happened?:( PLEASE PUT SOUND BACK TO IT...PLEASE!!!
I guess I've finally gone deaf after all these years of listening to music too loud...guess I better just die right now. No point in living without music. Cya guys.
@gimmeshelter64 yep..Paul loved to sail....whenever Poco came to South Florida we traveled to see them. They're our favorite band. such great musicians. so sad for George Grantham that he had the stroke and now can't play with them. and no more Paul! Paul was without a doubt, my favorite. Man, when Rusty breaks out that Dobro! watch out! :D
Whoever put this video together is very talented, could you share the program you used, for this video was nothing short of excellent, totally awesome! Thanks so much, always loved Poco and spent three decades giving them airplay on 23 radio stations from San Diego to Cleveland. Thanks again!
Was it the instrumental version? I've had a copy of that without words for years and didn't know the name until I popped in a Poco 8-track that I got in a big box at a garage sale
I write MemphoTenn and she said she can't fix the sound. She said RUclips has removed this video from her montage due to copyright issues. She didn't even know we could still bring this up.
I love this song. Please accept Jesus as your personal savior (John 3.16) by repenting from your own sins, converting into His name, and being saved by grace (Ephesians 2.8-10), as a God's free gift to you my friend, and you are a newborn christian (2 Corinthians 5.17) and have a sure mediator in Him (1 Timothy 2.5). God bless you

Great Video man. I remember this song growing up in New Orleans but it took me till I was in college to realize it was about my home town.
in the heart of the night in the cool southern rain,there's a full moon in sight,and the river she rises just like she used to do...she's so full of surprises...

The best song ever written about New Orleans.
This beautiful song and Indian Summer are Paul Cotton's BEST.....Live on POCO!

And CONGRATS to N.O. SAINTS! I can't even imagine Bourbon Street right now. They deserve it. :)

Gonna be there in a week, can't wait!!!
Takes me back!
Great. finally a decent video for a beautiful song and NO SOUND
Thanks so much, MemphoTenn. :)
Excellent. I suppose a photo of the "river" really rising would have spoiled it.
Please get the sound back. This is the best video for this song.
Woops....they took the audio out of this very beautiful video.
Hey Memph...I absolutely love this video!!! I used to watch this all the time but now I can't hear it! What happened?:( PLEASE PUT SOUND BACK TO IT...PLEASE!!!
WHY CAN'T AUDIO BE PLAYED WITH THIS MOST EXCELLENT VIDEO ???????????
When music was REAL!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess I've finally gone deaf after all these years of listening to music too loud...guess I better just die right now. No point in living without music. Cya guys.
Nice post.

We need POCO!!! CAN U SEE ME?
Amen.
This video convinced my wife and I come move back home to Louisiana. Is there any way to fix to sound?
Please put the sound back!!!!!!!Please?
To all of those who are not getting sound...delete it and then download it again. You will have sound then. God Bless!
Was it the instrumental version? I've had a copy of that without words for years and didn't know the name until I popped in a Poco 8-track that I got in a big box at a garage sale

ah.....Nawlins...
Sounds of silence!
@chrisgreen67 totally agree. As a band, they didn't want to become commerialized. and I don't blame them.
It's a pity.
No sound!
I visited from Japan.
