Clarence Clemons, R.I.P.

Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, has died in Florida at the age of 69. Clemons is legendary not only for his epic performances with Springsteen, but he appeared on others’ records as well – most recently, Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory.” The “Big Man” is one of rock and roll’s true characters and the soul of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

I was a Springsteen maniac until he let Clarence go from the band,. I put my Springsteen records away and did not play them until they reunited.

Vale Clarence Clemons
