Clarence Clemons

Clarence Clemon (b. January 11, 1942) is an American musician, best known as the tenor saxophone player in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. "The Big Man" has been playing with Bruce for over 30 years; his sax parts are an easily recognized feature of the E Street sound, with the most famous being his long elegiac solo during the song "Jungleland". In addition Clemons has a larger-than-life persona within the band; he serves as a visual foil to Springsteen during concerts (as well as on the Born to Run foldout album cover) and as the crowd favorite is always the last player mentioned during band introductions, usually after a lavish, over-the-top build-up from Springsteen. His arrival into the band is celebrated by Springsteen in the song "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out".
