It's included on her soon-to-be-released CD, <B>SCENE OF THE CRIME</B>.<BR/><BR/>Bettye spend many years on the legit stage (Broadway and touring) developing her acting chops and they came in handy with both "Philadelphia" and "Soldiers." Both songs evolk remembrances of friends who have passed on and the lost and deep hurt they leave behind.<BR/><BR/>LaVette is among those who have lost friends and colleagues, so these songs mean a great deal to her.<BR/><BR/>Thank God she's back and singing better than ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
