Bettye LaVette - Streets of Philadelphia

I love me some Springsteen, and this is probably the best cover of one of his songs I've ever heard. Lavette's voice cracks in a way that is just hearbreaking, and underlines what a fine, fine sad song this is. So much pain, so little time. And yet, it is still joyous in it's own way.

Cheers to Last Year's Girl for tipping me to this.
