Narada & Clarence Clemons "You're A Friend Of Mine"

[titoviiiify]

great song usually can see very simple video and great many videos from 80s were like that

[Orbot]

This was one of those "feel good" type of songs! This got alot of play back in the day! Mr. Clemons...RIP sir, you were a "friend" of ours!

[Shadofx]

seems like their singing a little too close..but..it's an 80s vid..that says it all...will miss the strong sax playing of this legend..thanks Clarence..RIP.

[MrRaidernation87]

You will be missed . thanks for everything RIP CLARENCE

[PipsterX]

R.I.P. Clarence. Well miss you, Big Man.

[gingerchipper]

You will be missed Clarence

[Larrymh07]

He was carrying the baton handed off from King Curtis. Who'll carry on?

[leatherneck1957]

@Larrymh07 Alto Reed Bob Seger's Sax man. same influences and loves as CC... his stage act/sidekick prescence was inspired by Clarence & Bruce. He was also a fiend of Clarence's as well as Bruce too :) and thankfully he loves playing as much as Clarence did. Thankfully he keeps himself healthy so we'll have him around for many more years. Check out ALto's solo stuff.. almost Identical to CC's :)

[tcbaustralia]

there are 3 saxophone greats KENNY G - BOOTS RANDOLPH and

the big man.. CLARENCE CLEMONS... R.I.P

LOVED YOUR WORK!

[kreativdronare]

Died last night! Go easy Buddy! R.I.P.

[Spartacus217]

I guess heaven needed a Big Man.

[nivlekbrad]

For those of you interested, I just listed this cd on ebay. Item number 280653004754.

[TheFearlessRadio]

ahh i love this video. two of my favorite musicians!

[hellspit2003]

piper and orton build up to saturday night main event!

[slyhazeleyes]

@hellspit2003 Yeah I remember this song with piper and orton. I was a big fan of wrestling during the 80s and the 90s.

[miguel2096]

yeahh  thank's

[indigorenk]

Thank you Jimmy:)

Lovely

[biervernichter18]

who´s the girl with the camera?

[joebernanners]

that would be Daryl Hannah, look down in the comments a little...

[robbyled]

Reading Clarence's book right now. He seems like a geniune good guy.

[TheWrestlingCircuit]

It's too easy to make fun of this video, so I'm just going to be nice and not say anything.

[irishmom58]

is this before or after JB beat Daryl Hannah?

[SHRINA17]

Good one...lol!

[EXTENDED91]

before xD

[tubsicle123]

i love how people diss an 80's song tell me how that is when music was actually music

[Beatlesrule123]

ahh...GAY

[mexicopoder]

actualy song is some how regular good music .. ugly singer in blue

[parklife08]

you're talking about big man!

[Waluigifan95]

This song was #100 on vh1's top 100 one hit wonders of the eighties!

[Rddef9]

to tone: trust me, you can't judge a musician's skills by their work on a pop song. For example, Narada on drums is one of the sickest drummers EVER! but to break into the mainstream he does the average stuff on average songs.

[pannoni1]

I have a Whitney Houston/Dionne Warwick duet version which I downloaded (also Narada Michael Walden-produced artists).

[Ishitonyou666]

i saw this video on VH1 special for 80's 1 hit wonder,and had to see the whole video of this song...wow~this is really bad!!...but fuckin funny Darryl looks like she is getting really to record a gay sex scene of those 2 singers!hahahahaha

I agree with noelsolo12,the CIA should use this song as a torture device

[BIKERJAKE74]

Daryl Hannah...ugly.

[joebernanners]

BIKERJAKE74...gay.

[BIKERJAKE74]

She is ugly. Just like Rosanna Arquette. So I'm gay because I think she is ugly? WOW you are so open-minded.

[jurneynut]

This was a cute song.Looks as though they had some fun making this video!For those of you who don't know,these guys were real singers and musicians! First and formost! Not "video made"!

[tonewheel]

Clarence Clemons - a VERY average sax player, at best. Famous by association only.

[CheSD]

Fuck you.

[tonewheel]

No thanks.

[LGofRPM]

Cassidy, this one's for you!

[FEEGUY]

This reminds me of the whole "you got rickrolled" craze not too far back. I see many clemrolls in the future. Oh no, that's just too mean.

[noelsolo12]

I HATE THIS SONG. The CIA should use this song as a means of torture or tool to extract a confession. ONE OF THE WORST SONGS IN HISTORY.

[FEEGUY]

lol, I agree. That song got stuck in my head at work for almost a full day. I wanted to shoot myself. What's worse than a bad song? A bad song stuck in your head all day.

[noelsolo12]

You know what is a very, very bad song stuck in your head is a very bad song that keeps on playing stuck in your head. You know like the Chinese Water torture. Feeling like Water dripping, dripping. Seeing Clarence Clemmons ugly face and Daryl Hannah "great singing."

[pannoni1]

Is that announcer using Received Pronunciation?

[Kutpurse]

Daryl looks super sexy lounging around on the sofa.

[billyparsons]

I agree with FEEGUY

[psykosel]

no one can say shit about clarence clemmons cause hes a rad sax player and hes been part of bruce springsteins bad forever

[carolynne108]

How cute is that?? Darryl and JB so upbeat. Happy song and full of brotherly love. Simple.

[owg59]

nice song, but poor sound quality.

[OrangeSFO]

oh GOD!!! My EARS!! My EYES!!!!  agggghhhh!!!!

[CheSD]

FEEGUY. Piss off asshole. A homomphobe would think something stupid. I suppose when I hug another Marine who has survived we are gay. Fuck you, little bitch.

[FEEGUY]

Sorry fag

[Tigerhartt]

you tell him bro...semper fi and come home safe...

[FEEGUY]

This is officially up in the top 10 gayest videos I've ever seen. The only good thing in it is Hannah. She is smokin' hot. But the dudes were up trying to kiss each other the whole time. It made me uncomfortable watching it.. . oh, and the drummer, yeah, that's another serious homo.

[psykosel]

narade michael walden isnt gay but he was great drummer back in the 80s

[hamaya35]

Those were some big-ass video cameras, huh? I remember using one of those in 1990.

[Pinwormx]

Still a kick ass song though.

[Pinwormx]

They're really close duet singers. Just saying.

[Kelski1998]

I dont know about Clarence Clemons vocals on this I do know that Daryl Hannah did background vocals on this as she was seeing Jackson Browne at the time

[Curlupndyesalon]

Really,, she sang on this song,, had no idea,, I remember she was seeing Jackson Brown and he was beating her. Jackson Brown is a douch-bag, he's writing love songs while beating up Daryl Hannah,,,,classy guy. But this is a great song.

[Kelski1998]

Yes she did. Agreed on Browne being a dick for beating her up. Takes a real man not to hit a woman. One thing I have never and will never do

[FUTUREKINGSOFSPAIN]

This is the 80s! Genius tune.

[crissmurphy]

the big man can sing!

[nerette123]

some one else did the big mans vocals

[crissmurphy]

oh. damn.

[nerette123]

Check out the big man's website, the info on his CD'S mention someone else did the vocals, only his brilliant saxophone is C.Clemons, he is a cool dude

[CA4CNL232]

This song made me into a pussy my junior high school year.

[Brickwall2468]

the fraggles

[roygerdodger]

What show was this taken from?

[jsmoothe21]

Soak in the gayness!!!!

[CharlesNigro]

Songs about friendship are great, but the lyrics sound like these guys are too dependent on one another.

[bellomarcello]

hey people: Narada sit and play the drums!!!

Narada is not one of this two singers!

Confuse Clip Titel!

[sknyrd77]

I remember reading that Clarence wanted Springsteen for this number but scheduling( or some other matter) allowed it not to happen. Jackson(longtime friend of both) stepped in....

[MRDXKLIQ101]

IS THIS AS LONG AS THE VIDEO WAS

[nerette123]

the video clip is over 4 minutes long, hope it is shown one day

[Andrewkeh]

Daryl Hannah is a hot MILF.

[raceway24]

WAS a hot MILF

[Andrewkeh]

Daryl still is a hot MILF.....

[Golgi2200]

Daryl Hannah is the BEST

[nerette123]

this song is about friendship, it was produced in 1986 and I remember there was no talk of the song having a gay theme, gay political correctness is ^&*()%$#@

[Sampson678]

who cares if they're gay, the theme in the song about having a friend who would go through the fire for you is kinda like way bigger than if so-and-so might be gay...

[jsmoothe21]

this is pretty gay.

[SugarShandy]

This is the absolute best I love this song it is such a feel good song

[lovewalksin]

Jeez, I cant believe all this horseshit about being gay!!I am bisexual and have been involved in gay rights for years so there is no drama in my comments. But , fuck, cant two men sing about a friendship without it being construed as sexual? Especially when Jackson Brown's lovely girlfriend is clearly involved in the clip (Daryl Hannah). Why does everyone have to interpret love as sex?

[Bacio83]

this song was played during the tag team wrestling match when hulk hogan and macho man fought strike force and elizabeth got knocked out and hulk hogan rushed to the locker room and macho man and hulk became enemies after that. bangin memories great son holla

[dford007]

hey, sorry, i dont mean to offend, but r these two singers homosexuals? the video sure makes it look like they are.

[honeydrops78]

I ignore ignorant comments because they dont deserve a responise however the question I was commenting on wasnt asked in a negative way I didnt understand why you would answer weather someone is straight or gay with the fact they are an icon like i said his sexuality doesnt give or take away from this great song

[4oust]

some of these comments are so stupid man just chill and enjoy the music. Great song one of my favs love it to bits great sing along song.

[sqmuth]

Best thing Narada ever did was drums for Mahavishnu John McLaughlin on "Apocalypse". A few cuts off "Inner Worlds" were great too. I didn't realize he was on Jeff Beck's Wired, or did work with Alan Holdsworth.

I guess the cheese factory has to make some real money, and that he did.

[jgeorgel]

god this is bad.

[olgasavestheday]

kiss already.

[246624street]

they look alot more than friends in this video at the beginning

[retrophillysoul]

I guess Darryl Hannah on the couch was just Jackson's "beard".  nice beard.

[bassmanjoe]

I doubt that

[sideshowbob79]

Who knew Scott Baio could play guitar?

[djkai24]

Are/were they really friends? Cus if they weren't, they made damn sure that there wasn't any doubt in this video. And is that Alexander "Die Hard" Godunov playing piano in the background?

[Nordtroll]

Just kiss him already ;-)

[eDub5750]

lol they do get pretty damn close, secretly fags

[noelsolo12]

Is there any way this f*&&en video be wiped out from existence? Its like a throbbing tooth ache, or the kind of itch behind your throat. You just want to stick an ice pick in your throat but it still won't got away.

[chets808]

Is this a training video for kids about being "uncomfortably close" and invading personal space ?

[co21ss]

if this weren't gay they would lean into each other's ears to make a point instead of the kiss lean in.

[grandcosmo]

Happier days for Hannah and Browne as she later accused him of giving her a black eye.

Google it.

[amandalee7747]

shes a freak and beat herself up

[jbfan2000]

amanda just enjoy the hair!!

[amandalee7747]

OH! K~.. I do, I do.. 24/7 no matter how bad or embarassing this may be all I think about is that damn hair on that hot mess of a MAN! DAMN. WHY do I have to live vicariously like this? And that awful witch DH!

[segamartinez]

Get a room, Clarence.

[lancimouspitt]

Some guy sent me a message gettN all pissy about my comment.Sorry ihateuall,but I don't watch football.

[nerfertari]

Thats Daryl Hannah singing & she was dating Jackson Browne at the time

[victimsofthefuture]

Thirty year old guys don't stick out their tongue like the drummer does at 2:05, that's pretty childish.

[ElephantDrunk]

it is just for fun! have a good time with it only! :)

[ElephantDrunk]

i didn't find it gay at all. just two friends having some fun and singing.

[yhprum79]

The most amazing thing about this video is that back when this video was aired (1985, or so) nobody deemed it "abnormal", just another video.

[victimsofthefuture]

No, neither of these guys are gay, but this has to be the gayest video ever released. Sounds like the guy that was the voice over for the first 30 sec. or so was Simon Cowell.

[rcthil]

haha! yep, though back then we didn't think much about it when we saw this kind of thing. Still a GREAT song and theme though. Cheers.

[ElephantDrunk]

have u seen the Billy Squire video? lol

[lancimouspitt]

I was wondering this as well.These guys get to close for comfort.This is borderline softcore porn.

[dford007]

i know who it is, but my original question still stands. Are these two guys homosexuals, i mean it doesnt really matter, but the video sort of indicates that they are.

[k9feces]

They have to be, look how close they sing at eachother.

[amandalee7747]

Jackson Browne is NOT gay, he has had some of the hottest women ever...

[encierro75]

yeah and he would beat up girls like Carly Simon

[Janadu]

So what if they are? Why does that bother you so much? Grow up.

[amandalee7747]

JACKSON BROWNE IS NOT GAY

[bassmanjoe]

You got that right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malibu242]

No this is Clarence Clemons you idiot-the King of Soul, the Big Man-think before you speak dford007, especially about a music icon and legend

[honeydrops78]

Malibu242 so music icons cant be gay? i dont care if he is not my business but why cant he be dford007 isnt wrong for pointing it out either

[malibu242]

Music icons can be gay and I don't think I ever implied that they can't honeydrops but I am pointing out simply that he is NOT. Everyone should focus more on his music and not his lifetsyle anyway. He made himself famous for a reason and this is in his ability to make the most beautiful music using his sax. Don't try to complicate that with his personal life. As 4oust said, people need to chill and enjoy the music, you should follow this advice honeydrops.

[honeydrops78]

No you didnt imply that music icons cant be gay. Your answer to the question asked by dford007 "are these 2 men homosexual" was

"no he is a musical icon" let me say again as i enjoy the song what does him being an icon have to do with that question. I dont care who he sleeps with that wasnt my point at all, just pointing out you cant get mad because someone asked the question of his sexuality its not offensive to ask if someone is gay or straight.

[malibu242]

I don't really care enough to argue about this. Clarence is a personal friend of mine and of my family. I was upset when I saw some of the posts that people were adding regarding him being gay, not because being a homosexual is a negative thing but because they were saying it in a negative way and in a way that insults him as a person and an artist. If you feel like picking apart what someone says why don't you focus your attention to the people who were putting him down in the first place.

[dford007]

are the two main singers that did this song homosexuals????

[Amused80]

I love this song but the video is awful. It gets a pass though since it was the 80's. Let's party Clarence!!!!!

[RingoChen]

someone HAS to post the full video. PLEASE.

[bigcal21]

The full one's back up, with a picture of Hannah holding a camera... check it out!

[mybrucespringsteen]

check out mybrucespringsteen for a description of a brief conversation I had with the Big Man

[RingoChen]

where is the full version?! this video is classic gayness! :P

[lotirishman]

The full version was taken off, need many people to post it for it to stay...

[CanadaBoy1619]

omg i never knew their was a video!!! this rocks haha...ahh how i miss the innocent 80's....lol

[demonhoopa]

Uh....the 80's weren't very innocent. LOL. Any decade can look innocent if you're selective about what you watch. See The Carpenters. :)

[lotirishman]

that depends on what your comparing it to...

[demonhoopa]

"The Innocent 80's": Dead Kennedys, Slayer, Millions of Dead Cops, Venom, The Circle Jerks, Niggas With Attitude etc etc etc and on and on and on.

[humbertofari]

por que tambien son mis amigos... que buna cansion que han puesto en youtube. bueno un abrazo.

[ninatwo]

Oh for goodness sake - it's about FRIENDSHIP. Duh.

[lotirishman]

you said it, damn kids ain't got a clue....

[nannerbj]

What you giving out about ?? Grumpy wannabe Irish man !!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[lotirishman]

Some young kids trashing this music... Hey, I'm not grumpy, well only when I'm tired and or hungry, did I just say that aloud....

[victimsofthefuture]

This has got to be the gayest video ever

[lotirishman]

get a clue kid...

[ninatwo]

No he didn't. She was very unstable and SHE accused him and attacked HIM.

[MGM12]

Jackson beat up Daryl. That's why she left him.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

anyone have the full verson the sax rocks on this song

[socothbenoth]

Clarence is a great sax player but they were caught up in the 'video' era of music. When MTV aired every artist thought more about producing great videos than anything else. I love this song and Daryl Hannah was a complete babe back then! She has since left Jackson Browne and somehow made her way to Val Kilmer...etc...

[avp0713]

Ok, is it me? or is Clarence Clemons not really a sax player. This is one of the greatest "luck" stories in modern day music entertainment. Clarence Clemons has yet to play more than 4 bars at any one time, forget solos.

[Stevenarada]

There's a full version of this track on this site under "Jackson Browne & Clarence Clemons". In fact It should be in the related box, next to this video, by the way that's Darryl Hannah sitting & singing on the coach, I think she was going out with Jackson at the time.
