The song would achieve greater popularity in Europe than it would in the United States. While it peaked at number 9 in the US Billboard Hot 100, it was a number one hit single in Germany in France. It peaked at number 2 in the UK and number 6 in the Netherlands.
I bought this vinyl single after searching for it for months - and refused to buy the cd-single. It was a hard time for vinyl single collectors: the format was becoming quite extinct during that year, numerous titles weren't even released on the format anymore. Finding this single was a sweet victory.
My collection: 7" single no. 2093
Found: Record fair, Amsterdam, April 16, 1994
Cost: 8 guilders
Tracks: 'Streets of Philadelphia' / 'If I should fall behind (live)'
