maryphoniX - streets of philadelphia

Anja Dijkstra singt "Streets of Philadelphia" von Bruce Springsteen in einem Arrangement von Echo- und WDR-Jazzpreisträger Frederik Köster, der die maryphonix big band auch leitet. Bandleader Michael Luke mit einem Klarinettensolo.

"Streets of Philadelphia" is a song written and performed by American rock musician Bruce Springsteen for the first mainstream film on HIV/AIDS in the 1993 film Philadelphia. Released in 1994, the song was a hit in many countries, particularly in Canada, France, Germany, Ireland and Norway where it topped the singles charts.

The song was a critical success and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song and four Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.
The song has been covered live by Melissa Etheridge and David Gray. Recorded covers have been released by Ray Conniff (on his 1997 album "I Love Movies"), Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Marah, Liv Kristine, Molly Johnson, Bettye Lavette and I Muvrini with Anggun. Philadelphia rappers, Cassidy & the Larsiny Family have made a cover of this song on the "Put Ya L In The Sky" Mix Tape, in an effort to stop crime in the city. French artist Patrick Bruel covered the song, translating the lyrics into French while retaining the music. Portland, Oregon band ADVENTURES! With Might covered the song, turning it into a more up beat electronic pop song.
