Clarence Clemons: Hero (1985)


When the change was made uptown
And the big man joined the band

Imagine being able to wear a red leather suit and get away with it. I could not do it.

I own this record because I went through a major Springsteen phase (more on that later). Sadly, this record did nothing for me. Sure, there are backing vocal from Daryl Hannah, who was dating the Big Man at the time. Who knew she could sing? I had no idea she was dating CC. The best track is probably You're a Friend of Mine, a duet with Jackson Browne. Sadly, the official video on Youtube is totally distorted.

Sadly, Clarence passed away in 2011. I think it is awesome that his nephew, Jake, has joined the E Street Band.
