Philadelphia

[Lu_B]

what is the title of the song that plays at the end of the film philadelphia? And who sings it?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's actually called Philadelphia and is by Neil Young. It's on the soundtrack CD to the film.

Yes I think it is Neil Young also .... it was beaten out of a grammy by Bruce Springsteens Streets of Philiadelphia in the same year....I definitely prefer Neil Youngs offering ....absolutely haunting.

But its a female voice singing the song I'm thinking of

I seem to remember a lot of opera in the movie, performed by Maria Callas. Not sure if this was what was at the end of the film, I always find the sound track listing feature on ImdB pretty good for this sort of thing

Neil Young does have a bit of a high-pitched voice, but it's easily recognisable as male I think. Yes, Maria Callas was used in the film, but not right at the end. Is the sequence you're thinking of Lu-B, when 'Tom Hanks' is dying and the family are all around, and then watching videos etc? If so, that's the Neil Young song, from what I can remember! Brilliant film.
