When Jonathan Demme approached Bruce Springsteen to write a song for his about homosexual discrimination, Bruce had never written a song for a movie before. His first effort was good enough to earn him an Academy Award. "Streets Of Philadelphia" is a song that not only captures the spirit of the movie, but is a striking song that touches a chord. The single is worth buying not only for "Streets", but because it contains a version of "Growin' Up" from the MTV Plugged concert that was not broadcast.
