"The Boss" in the 90's

After the release of 2008's The Wrestler, and the release of the cd "Working on a Dream" created a triumphant comeback from the Bruce Srpingsteen, who had not made much new commercially successful music in 2000's before this. Springsteen had been touring with the street band, his original band, who he had done a reunion tour with when they got back together in 1999 and still toured throught the years. Althought The Wrestler movie and the song by Bruce was a hit this was not the first time Springsteen had made an appearance on a movie soundtrack.
In 1993 the movie Philadelphia,staring Tom Hanks came out. It was about a lawyer in Piladelphia who had AIDS and was fired from his job for having the disease, but throughout the movie he fought for his rights and for his job. Bruce was featured on the soundtrack with his song "Streets of Philadelphia". It became a hit that year and got Bruce nominated for an academy award for best soundtrack.
