Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s long time sax player and friend of 40 years, Clarence Clemons, died on Saturday.
If Bruce was the obvious heart of the E-Street Band, Clarence was its soul.
We who are longtime fans all have our favorite  iconic Clarence moments. The three-minute sax solo in Jungleland,  that seemed to grow, if anything, more [...]]]></description>
