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.
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
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 !
#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.
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.
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.
@@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
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 !
#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.
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.
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🎶😎
Always remember listening this when Casey Casem (He was shaggy on scooby doo...... yes he was) did the US chart show... God I'm old, but the music was great
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
I wish I didn’t tear up every time I see Clarence; he wouldn’t have wanted that but I can’t help it. Although I met him a dozen times - it’s like a relative who passed away. I feel like that about Danny too … but Clarence was just so special. The above is the best he ever looked and he was in the best shape of his life for the "Tunnel Of Love” tour in 88 a couple years later. I just wish he was here.
The backup vocals on You're A Friend Of Mine by Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne were performed by Daryl Hannah, who was Jackson's girlfriend at the time. Clemons only hit, it climbed to #18 in the US.
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!
*@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.

I was searching for songs about friendship for a video project and I looked at many online lists. NON of them had this awesone one on it. For shame! This is at least top 5 friendship song and it's so uplifting! ❤🧡❤
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. RUclips makes 21 CENTURY RIGHT NOW. THE PAST COMES ALIVE FOREVER!!! on RUclips and other far more complicated forums. I love 💕 RUclips, because old men like me can relive our youth. Be it good times, or bad. Thanx to RUclips, our memories never die.... ✝️✝️✝️🌈💋💋
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💖💖💖
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!?
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
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
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 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!
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.
Good to know. Thx for sharing.
Maybe some things happen for a reason.I can't say for sure but it definitely is the dynamic duo..
Was I the only person smiling all the way through this video? R.I.P. Clarence.
A great song and time
🎷❣️🙏
Not alone.....me too! Love hearing the BIG MAN singing
Touched my heart deeply...and forever....
Clarence & Jackson together just brilliant!!😊
The Big Guy. I miss him, the world misses him. Never let this song die.
Who else feels truly blessed to have grown up in the '80s?
ME !!!!
I’m with you
Why? (I’m not being sarcastic btw)
I loved this song when I was a kid and the beginning sounds like the theme song to the My Two Dads tv show, well the first couple of episodes.
I'm TRULY blessed. Amen..... I have one thing to say. "You never know what you had till it's gone forever."
Back when music and videos made you feel good.
God but you said it❤❤❤
I agree 1000% they'll never be another decade like the 80s
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
mine turned into having a lifetime love affair with pot, family, friends and job be damned what a waste of talent
❤
God, i miss clarence, he brightened up any stage he was on.
No one can make that robust sax sound than The Big Man! RIP
A message to the future generations. Don't let this song die
Keep it going!
Mis mejores años los 80 y la mejor musica !!
This video should
Don't let music die
It wasn’t just a song, those 2 were really friends. It shows in the video. Too bad the rest of the world can’t see through things and be like this.
??
Their #18 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1985
Always loved this song as a teenager in the 80's.
Still loving this classic in 2022 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV.. if you’re still loving this, you’re a friend of mine.
This song remind me of my cousin Joe he was my best friend
I’m with you nothing better than “Old School” music, nothing!
Yup
Agree!
ABSOLUTELY BROTHER
why do songs like this just bring out nothing but love and joy??
I gave this cassette out for Christmas the year it came out to 6 friends, 3 are in heaven now with JESUS
Sad and wonderful at the same time.
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 !

I Miss my Father so much. I think about him every single day. 😔❤️

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 is black and white bonding. We are all brothers and sisters. Unity and equality. Let's go!
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.
RIP Clarence! Who knows how long we'll wait for another transcendent saxophone in pop music!! You were something special!
His nephew 🎷
JOHN WAUGH is a guy. He's not Clarence but The 1975 is doing it up
There will NEVER be another like him
Thats when Daral Hannah was at her peek.
Rock and Roll not pop.
This is clearly Jackson Browne and Clerence Clemons having a little fun and it's great!
Not enough made about clarence after he died what a legend
2022~R.I.P. to The Big Man💪🏾
Wish we had more music like this in today's world. I absolutely LOVE this song 🥰
We should also live in a world where we're drinking each other's milkshakes. 🥛🍧
Exactly
Israel Esquivel r I p big man
A-men!!!
yep?☹
Clarence Clemons, Jackson Browne, Narada Michael Walden and Darryl Hannah.
A forgotten gem of the '80s.
Great song.
... and actor Jeff Daniels on keyboards
@@lurker_to_poster257 Is that seriously him on the keyboards? Been trying to figure out who that guy was and why he looked so familiar...

The Awesome 80’s!
I Was In High School When This Song Came Out!
RIP Clarence 👏🙏🏾
I was in grade school in the 80s so much fun
I was in high school, too. I just heard this song again. So amazing!
I saw video last year and watch over and over. Never here of them two to saw video.
The bromance we need but don't deserve
Deserve? Stop. We are Christian, take that bs somewhere else
Brings tears to my eyes. Happy music from happier times.😢
Same here. I had the best times in the 80s.
@@pisceslove9such a fun time back then it was nothing like the 80s
same here
Same here
This very well might be the most underrated duet in rock history. What a tune
Was suposed to be Bruce but he was on his honeymoon. I dont remember which wife...must have been the first one...
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 !
Clarence Clemons was the man he played the hell out of that sax. The ultimate friendship song.
Indeed
I just love it
👋
Richard Morales Oh yes! Dude was bad on that sax! On this song for sure, but even the way he closed out “Dancing In the Dark”! 🎷🎷🎷
This is good but I always liked "Thank You For Being a Friend" by Andrew Gold a little bit better
He wrote this song to do with Bruce He didn't want to do it with Him lost my respect for Bruce after He dropped the band
Love this tune. Wow there playing instruments on the album. No auto tune there singing about somthing nice.Todays music is complete garbage.
Clarence should have sung more. He had a great voice.
Facts
Just found out this week he sang and had a great voice.
His voice reminds me of Louis Armstrong
I agree, he had a wonderful voice
Well he did sing backup in the E Street band.
God must’ve needed a HELL of a sax player….miss you Big Man….
This song always sounded like the theme song to an 80s family sitcom to me.
It was the theme for My Two Dads, but only the pilot. I assume they changed it so they wouldn't have to pay royalties.
@@lvdude8631 There you go then!
The 80's were just plain old fun.
For the friendship of Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne.
It is a great honor that many of us including me are fans of the late great Clarence Clemons.
#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.
Such a great song. Growing up in the 80s was the absolute best!
Growing up in the 80s were great times
Agreed!
And in the 70s as well❤❤❤
Clarence Clemmons....one heck of a sax player. Not another like him. RIP Clarence
I loved this song!!!♥️💯
I wanna go back to the 80s, even at my present age.
I agree with you. The 80's were the best years.
Same here bro
So do I.
May I please join you?
Same here!🙏👍
It WOULD be nice to go back to the 80's and be the same age we were back then (20's in my case) but I'd settle for going back at my present age.
Two of my favorite Peeps; RIP it up Clare!

He wasn`t in the E Street band for nothing gone but not FORGOTTEN
When he passed away??
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Clemons
Would like to see him and the Boss do a rendition..maybe they did I don't know?
The best of the best ... RIP big guy
Esta cancion me transmite mucha Energia , i ❤80s , la escuche en una pelicula en los 80s pero no se en cual .
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🎶😎
Who else is rocking out to this song in November 2024?
Me!
Me too! Always loved this song. 😊
We are blessed to be born in the early 70 … whit less ,but lot of happiness ❤❤❤
Always remember listening this when Casey Casem (He was shaggy on scooby doo...... yes he was) did the US chart show... God I'm old, but the music was great
I'm right there with ya buddy. I remember when this song came out and Casey Casum was the best. He WAS the radio
These two voices really complimented eachother! It's sad we lost Clarence Clemons!
He's jamming in Rock 'n Roll Heaven with Thomas "Alto Reed" Cartmell who was the sax player for Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band.
How did this song reach only #18 on the Billboard charts?! It's a #1 hit to my ears!
Nakidz same 🙌🏻
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!
Kevin Michael Easter's Multiplex ....it was particularly rigged back then!!! It was whatever the charts editor wanted it to be....
That was the decade when theres so much good music, that all could not fit into first positions and we were spoiled by it

I play it on repeat just to hear Big Man play the horn...such a cool guy.
How can you not be in a good mood listening to this song? Always made me smile
What could i say here that hasnt been said already?WAIT,I know!!!!BRAVO!!!!!!
The energy and vibes of this song will stay forever. Can't find such a song today.
Yes you can.. Don't be so close minded
@@BAKER22-l4u Well of course but very rearly
@@BAKER22-l4uname one.
Notice how upbeat and positive this song is. Lots of 80s music like that. Completely missing from today's music.
Life before was so simple and happy... ❤️😭
Omg, this is PURE LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP and beautiful song, this made my day! what happened to music???
Great memories from a much simpler time
I'm 25 years old and I only listen to this kind of music, I especially love this one. The best era of music in the world
Yes, every day I wax nostalgic for the 80's, especially on Friday nights. Best times of my life.😎
Absolutely
You are an old soul
Actually this song is a hymn to true friendship, despite the time elapsed, enduring values, faithful friends are like a treasure in life.
So true, people dont know how to connect to others now, What a great decade of good music with lyrics that meant something, bring it back.

You know... there are still al lot of radio stations that focus on this type of music...
me too
I was searching for songs about friendship for a video project and I looked at many online lists. NON of them had this awesone one on it. For shame! This is at least top 5 friendship song and it's so uplifting! ❤🧡❤
Friends sitcom blew it for not using this as their theme song 🎵imo. As did many other sitcoms
'I'll be there for you' by the Rembrandts is a pretty perfect choice for F.r.i.e.n.d.s though ☺
@@jesterday2222 yeah, that was good, agreed. But how everyone passed Clemons up for their marketing potential is mind boggling?
I first heard this song when I briefly lived in Georgia. I could not hear it enough. I LOVE THIS SONG!!

Settle down, it’s not that serious.
A timeless classic. The 80s was the best decade ever.
Clarence Clemmons and Bobby Keys
Two of the Greatest Rock Sax players Ever.
The 80's was a magical time! I wish Clarence Clemons was still alive.

I love this song and the video!
Happy birthday Clarence Clemons! 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎁🎁🎁🎁🎂🎂

It's songs like this that makes me glad I had the opportunity to work in radio
RIP Big Man. This song is such a bop. And positive vibes.
I love this song man I miss the 80s music 😊
That song always chokes me up at the end, "I'll be fine, cause you're a friend of mine."
Peaked at #18 in January 1986. Should have been Top Ten.
For the past six months, this song has played at work and couldn’t find it. Our company has sucky speakers.
Until now!!!
Love it...
I love how happy every single person in this video is. Especially when Clarence and Jackson are smiling into each others faces, ah so cute!
Bruce was originally supposed to sing on this track.But Jackson stepped into the gap
Check out Tom Jones and Van Morrison singing "I'm Not Feeling it Anymore"
Bromance personified!
Eric Carraway Jackson did a great job complimenting Clarence but I could totally see Bruce singing.
It's just so merry.
One of my all-time favorite songs
Classic great song from the 80's. Daryl Hannah appearance made the music video even better.
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!?
Exactly
My friends do!!

Makes me weep for friends gone...

So true the internet changed everything friends really meant something to us back then
