Song of the day for March 21, 2024
Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen is today’s featured song.
Bruce Springsteen won an Oscar for the song ‘Streets of Philadelphia.’
Springsteen’s social perspective was distinctly working-class throughout his career, a point emphasized both by his 1995 album, The Ghost of Tom Joad, which concerned itself with America’s economically and spiritually destitute, and by his 1994 hit single (his first in eight years), the AIDS-related “Streets of Philadelphia,” from the film Philadelphia, for which he won both an Academy Award and a Grammy Award.
