Memphis (typeface)
Memphis is a slab-serif typeface designed bDr. Rudolf Wolfand released in 1929 by the Stempel Type Foundry. Memphis is a "geometric" slab serif, reflecting the style of German geometric sans-serifs (in particular Futura) which had attracted considerable attention, and adapting the design to the slab serif structure. Its structure is strictly monoline, with a "single-storey" 'a' similar to blackletter or handwriting, in an almost-perfect circle. It was released in several weights and with alternative characters such as swashes, which digitisations have mostly not included. Memphis has an Egyptian name, in reference to the fact that early slab serifs were often called "Egyptians" as an exoticism by nineteenth-century typefounders. Memphis and other similar designs were popular in printing during the hot metal typesetting period and several foundries brought out similar designs or direct imitations such as Karnak and Stymie in the United States and Rosmini from Nebiolo in Ital ...

Memphis (cigarette)
Memphis is an Austrian brand of cigarettes, currently owned and manufactured by ''"Austria Tabak"'', which is owned by the Gallaher Group, a subsidiary of Japan Tobacco. History Memphis was launched on March 1st, 1897 by the KAISERLICH KÖNIGLICHE TABAK-REGIE. There has been confusion regarding the founding date of Memphis. From the 1980s until 2003 there are documents from Austria Tabak where they declare the introduction year of Memphis as 1897, but in 2005 they launched a new line called Memphis 1896 - and from there on they printed "Since 1896" on the Memphis packs. Austria Tabak can trace its origin to 1784, the year that the tobacco monopoly ''"Osterreichische Tabakregie"'' was formed. The name symbolized the origin of the tobacco used in Egypt. Since 1989, the brand has been a market leader in Austria. However, Altria's Marlboro became the most popular brand in Austria, beating Memphis and Austria Tabak with a market share of 35.5 percent versus 34.5 percent. In 2000, nea ...

Memphis (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Memphis ( grc, Μέμφις) was the female eponym of Memphis in Egypt. The name was attributed to several distinct characters, namely: * Memphis, daughter of Nilus. * Memphis, one of the many consorts of King Danaus of Libya and mother by him of the three Danaïdes: Chrysippe, Sthenele and Cleite. These daughters wed and slayed their cousin-husbands, sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt and Tyria during their wedding night. According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre. * Memphis, daughter of the Egyptian king Uchoreus, who was said to have founded the city and named it after her, and mother by Neilus of Aegyptus, the eponym of Egypt (apparently distinct from Aegyptus, brother of Danaus).Diodorus Siculus1.51.3/ref> Notes References * Apollodorus, ''The Library'' with an English Translation by Sir James Geo ...

Critical reception On its release, ''Cash Box'' wrote, "Jackson gives a rockabilly-voiced recounting of a disastrously funny journey to the city of his cultural roots." They considered the organ intro to be similar to that of the 1966 Spencer Davis Group song "Gimme Some Lovin'" and the bass line to be the same as Jackson's 1982 hit " Steppin' Out".

In the UK, the song charted at number 6 in 1963; at the same time Decca Records issued a cover version in the UK by Dave Berry and the Cruisers, which also became a UK Top 20 hit single.

The narrator offers little information to the operator at first, only that he misses Marie and that they were separated by Marie's mother. The final verse reveals that Marie is, in fact, the narrator's six-year-old daughter; her mother, presumably the narrator's ex-wife, "tore apart our happy home" because she "did not agree", as it turned out, with their marriage, not his rel ...
