Saxophonist/vocalist Clarence Clemons was a member of <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT">Bruce Springsteen</a>'s backup group, the E Street Band, from 1973 to 2011. Clemons' soulful R&B stylings became a key element of the band's sound, notably on <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT">Springsteen</a>'s breakthrough hit "Born to Run" along with other singles and album tracks. Given his fiery soloing, audience rapport, and obvious camaraderie with <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT">Springsteen</a> 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 <a href="spotify:artist:5lkiCO9UQ8B23dZ1o0UV4m">Jackson Browne</a>, "You're a Friend of Mine." He died on June 18, 2011 due to complications from a stroke. <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT">Springsteen</a> 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
