Bloodbrother: Clarence Clemons, 1942-2011

In the summer of 1971, when an ambitious Shore rat named Bruce Springsteen was playing at an Asbury Park bar called the Student Prince and writing songs for his first album, a band called Norman Seldin and the Joyful Noyze was playing at the Wonder Bar down the road. The tenor saxophone player was a huge ex-football player with a King Curtis sound named Clarence Clemons. The story, oft-repeated, is that one stormy night, between sets, Clemons wandered into the Student Prince and sat in, playing “Spirit in the Night.”

Filmmaker Nick Mead will premiere the extended version of his Clarence Clemons documentary Who Do I Think I Am?: A Portrait of a Journey at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center (NCC). The premiere is the latest in a series of special events scheduled around the NCC’s ongoing exhibition of From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen. The film documents Clarence's travels to China from 2005 through 2010. Consciously challenging his own perceptions of himself, the Big Man repeatedly journeyed to a land where he wasn't famous at all, a place where he could "just be myself."

Clarence Clemons' Best Saxophone Solos: E Street Band Legend Dies At 69
Source:
Huffington Post
"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."
