Sorry to hear ! On the other side of the things , Giving out a just released cassette as a Christmas gift was a Great gift back then , When you had to actually listen to the music instead of skipping over 14 tracks to get to 1 or 2 and then throw the thing away ! When music was Good and music was literally life back then !
The funny thing about this video is that originally it was supposed to be Bruce Springsteen singing with Clarence Clemons. However Springsteen was on his honeymoon, he had just married his 1st wife, so Clarence ended up asking Jackson Browne to sing with him. And in my opinion, Jackson Browne was a much better choice.
There is not much of a divide between the average black and white person. It's the rich uppity b@sterds that are causing the problems. The rest of us just want to live our lives and raise our families.
Look at the chemistry between these two Guys. I wish I had a friendship like that! He said he'll walk through Hell and Back. All the years come & go! R.I.P. CLARENCE. You will live forever and all these Artists and people. RU-vid makes 21 CENTURY RIGHT NOW. THE PAST COMES ALIVE FOREVER!!! on RU-vid and other far more complicated forums. I love 💕 RU-vid, because old men like me can relive our youth. Be it good times, or bad. Thanx to RU-vid, our memories never die.... ✝️✝️✝️🌈💋💋
No matter how many songs Spingsteen recorded with Clarence,I have to say this recording gives me chills,the the meaning and Clarence belts out his horn, singing with Jackson in such a way that brings the world together in a way we must all feel towards human kindness and soul, thats what it comes down to a bond that lasts forever!
I've just come across this now I feel like I've been living under a rock! I love Bruce and Jackson and obviously Clarence in the E Street band , but never heard this . Rip big man !
@@MusicRunner82 pretty sure. I remember when this came out in '85, Jeff Daniels was pretty popular and in a lot of movies, and immediately recognizing him when I saw this. now that it's 35 years later, it involves some remembering what he looked like 35 years ago, but at the time it was pretty easy to recognize him. He IS a musician - more of a guitarist - but there's no reason to think that a decent guitarist couldn't be playing this pretty simple keyboard part.
@@MusicRunner82 no. It’s definitely not him. They would have mentioned him. They mentioned Daryl Hannah and all she’s doing is pretending to record them lol. Plus, I googled it haha
Fantastic song. Probably one of the greatest songs of the 80's. It's just a pitty you don't find friends you can count on anymore. Times have really changed. R. I. P Clarence Clemons
My God, from making us fall in love in her movies, to romances with Jackson Browne and Neil Young, Daryl Hannah is just the coolest chick! An angelic sense about her.
This gem was one of those "feel good" songs that randomly pops in my head through the years. And it still feels good to hear this. Feel like a kid again when I would hear this on the radio. Such a fun and happy song about friendship.💕
I remember listening to this great song in my Sony walkman going home from my studies on the train in 1985. The eighties - a decade filled with positivism and belief in the future!
People don't express themselves to each other like this. Especially guys. This is not only a great song but a great concept. True friendship. Who'd have thought!?
OMG! I heard this on the radio back in the 80's and the DJ didnt say who it was. But it never left me! Been humming it in my head since then, but for nearly 40 years I had no idea who it was. Until today! a combination of chatGPT and AHA Music (and my dodgy humming!) finally found it! My God! Incredible tune! Its been my ear worm for all this time! How come this wasnt a HUGE hit in the UK!? Its catchy as hell! I can attest to that!
I first heard this song back in high school. Now at age 55, I can't go thru this song without remembering friends and family who have passed on. This is truly a classic that will live on for generations. Its message is just as powerful.
This song reminds me of me and my best friend in high school. GOD REST HIS SOUL. I was always there for him just like he was always there for me. I miss him
#ClarenceClemons #JacksonBrowne #80s 2023.. is anyone still listening and loving this classic with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV, If so, then you're a friend of mine.
recuerdo un verano del 85 manejando moto en plena lluvia y sin casco ...todo mojado pero disfrutando aquel momento ..inolvidable...por las calles de arequipa ..Peru saludos a los ochenteros
Criminally underrated song. I first heard it in a public restroom, afterwards I couldn’t get it out of my head. It’s now one of my favorites of all time.
Man I've forgotten All about this song...and it was SO AWESOME ... I miss THESE GUYS 🎶🎵🎷...and back then I NEVER heard the Big Man sing.... RIP guys 🥲😎🎷🎙️
I've had the intro of this song stuck in my head for a week but couldn't remember anything but that sax. No lyrics or melody. Finally stumbled on it searching for 80s songs with sax intro. I can't tell you the number of times Baker Street came up. Totally not even close. For a bit I thought it was Bruce Springsteen, I was in the right church thinking it was Clarence Clemons but sitting in the wrong pew. Glad I finally found it.
My best friend Lori and I met when we were 9 years old, we are both 62 and live around the corner from each other and we're just as close now as when we were kids. We call each other sisters....and we are, maybe not by blood, but in our hearts💖💖💖
Shit! Do you really think top 40 billboard is an accurate representation of what's good music? If that were the case, it shouldn't even be around today!
*Answer:* MTV & New Wave was in, 50s Rockabilly & a-capella was out. But good music is GOOD MUSIC, no matter what. Another underrated song, & another underrated artist in Jackson Browne & esp Clarence 😊😊! If you like this, check out Long Tall Ernie & the Shakers & another group, Stars On, on the final quarter (10 minutes) of the _Stars On Long Play_ album, (aka _Stars On 45_ ) by Dutchman Jaap Eggermont. Plus theres also Jive Bunny & the Mixmasters
Been a fan of Clyde's since the beginning. That's 50 years now. Been to dozens of Jackson's concerts from Sedona to Manhattan, had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jackson in 2006 at party/fundraiser for Jon Hall (of Orleans fame) and this was a gift from Jackson for the "Big Man "(RIP) to do this. A definite detour for Jackson.
Sirius XM made me come to RU-vid to find this 80's gem 💎. Came on in the car about busted my factory 🔊. 🤣🤣 . Such a feel good 🎵 🎶 "You're a friend of mine. Then that stunning Daryl Hannah featured in this video. 😍
Wow! Blow me away. Never saw this. I emailed Clarence on his death bed to tell him how great he is and what a pleasure it has been having him in my musical life. And now this with JB my absolute fave. Omg. So glad I came across this video. TY to God. Every nite I come to see a song of CJB before bed. Gives me great comfort and pleasant dreams. Wow! Fabulous is all I can think of..💓
I was in my late 20's..I'd open the sunroof on my car and drive to the beach listening to this great song and sooo many others from that time..we didn't know how fortunate we were. We sang our way through the 80's🎶😎
I was lucky enough to have a brief chat with CC after a Springsteen show in Belgium, 2003. He was just the nicest guy. Honored to have experienced this, what a voice, what a tone on sax! This song was a childhood memory of mine, but until today I had no clue this was him too. Awesome! RIP big man
Met, Clarence Clemmons in Jupiter Florida, in the early 90,s. What a gracious man, he was. I spoke to him about Bruce, and how much I admired him, since I learned alto sax, when I was a kid. He was so kind and made time to talk to me.
My wonderful friend and I used to ride around listening to this song when we were in our late teens. Giggling and acting stupid was our thing. She passed away this morning and I thought of this song. RIP Missy...all my life you were a friend of mine.
This is sooo beautiful JB & Clarence. I'm so sorry we've lost Clarence. Seen him playing also with Bruce Springsteen, such a great talent omg. Lovely man. Love JB always too. Such a beautiful song!
*@Melody* Perfect expression of sentiment there, sweetheart! Loved your videos of homelife with your animals, btw. Its just heartening to see someone loving Jackson Browne & Clarence just as much as I did, when this song first hit the radio. And especially- - - the jukeboxes! ! I was 13 that year 💚💙💜
@@magnificentmuttley154 Hello Magnificent , I want to say a big thanks for your love and support towards me and my career all through the years of my life, sending love.
*@Jackson Browne* Well, theres alot of imposters out there, so presuming youre not from Nigeria (😂! ! ) maybe you could send me an email sometime. Just let me know, okay? Plus I could really use the work if any of your friends need a good electric bass session player. ~Signed, another 70's Radiohead 🎼💜
*@Marcelo Collao @Alicia Saracino* _100% agreed. Two new generations- - with a third who are teenagers at present- - have come into the world since Clarence broadcasted this burly improvisation Corporate America targets the young- - always will. Make no mistake: all of this technology that stands in the way of natural one-on-one & impersonalizes it is by deliberate design, & weve allowed it to happen. Now we the Public have been following right along with their purely commercial & hollow vision of what communication should be Millennials are hitting their 30s & 40s now. And Gen-X? When are we going to start doing our part? Weve been grandparents for a good while. It does no good when one has the convenience of Munich Germany, Melbourne Australia, Windsor Ontario Canada, Vienna Austria, & orway all at their fingertips, but no familiarity whatsoever with ones immediate neighbors; no connection with their local community
#ClarenceClemons #JacksonBrowne #80sMusic.. is anyone still loving this classic with the awesome old school music power of MTV in the new year 2024, if so, you're a friend of mine.
@@citygirl5705 what a ridiculous statement! Truly, it is people with your mentality that halts the progress of everyone coming together. Voting for YOUR REPUBLICAN'T DIDN'T GO OVER TOO WELL. DID IT? Question asked because of your statement.
@@gretchenjackson789 Yeah, how's that Biden unity working out? He's done his best to divide and destroy our country in only his first week in office. And you still support him? Amazing. You must also believe CNN.
