"Well, a change was made uptown when the Big Man joined the band." So goes the tale of Clarence Anicholas Clemons Jr. (January 11, 1942 - June 18, 2011), the big man with all the bulk of a former football player and the muscled sax behind Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band songs like "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "Jungleland," "Sherry Darling," "Bobby Jean," and so many others. His joyful baritone accompanying the Steinbeck of the Jersey shore. Mr. Clemons may have physically left this planet, but his legacy, the music lives on. Here we capture what thousands have known and loved.
In Springsteen's own words, "Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band."
We miss you, Big Man.
