Biography

Saxophonist/vocalist Clarence Clemons was a member of Bruce Springsteen's backup group, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, from 1973 to 1989. Clemons' soulful R&B stylings became a key element of the band's sound, notably on Bruce Springsteen's breakthrough hit "Born to Run" along with other singles and album tracks. Given his fiery soloing, audience rapport, and obvious camaraderie with Bruce Springsteen and the other E Street Band members, he was also a fan favorite during the group's marathon live sets. Clemons released several solo albums and scored a duet hit with Jackson Browne, "You're a Friend of Mine." He died on June 18, 2011 due to complications from a stroke. Bruce Springsteen delivered the eulogy at Clemons' funeral in Palm Beach, Florida, telling attendees, "He loved the saxophone, loved our fans, and gave everything he had every night he stepped on-stage." ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
