Thank you for this!!! Such a great tune and brings back so many memories!! 1985 was probably the best year of my life. Hasn't been too many to top it since. Thanks
This song was a wonderful collaboration between 2 great musicians! And back in those days, they made many of these fun, uplifting songs! I truly miss that on so many levels! Sincerely, BobbyK Thanks for the good music, Clarence Clemons! BobbyK
Looking back to February 1986 when "You're A Friend Of Mine" reached the peak of the U.S. Billboard singles chart: I was just 20 years old, hung out with good friends like Duane Lohse & Jim Gabelmann, & went to an establishment in Milan, Illinois called "Razz-Ma-Tazz Pizza & Game Parlor". Man, those were some great times, when life was better & America was on top of the world with a great President in Ronald Reagan to lead us. God, I miss those days of youth! R.I.P., Clarence Clemons.
Rest in peace, Clarence Clemons! Your playing of the sax was one of a kind. You were fantastic & will be sorely missed! Another one taken far too soon!
Played a mean sax, now your in the heavenly music hall, where you can play as long as you want to great auidence, you'll make great music to the King, who gave you the gift in the 1st place.RIP
I had no idea who this person was and after googling him and listening to him on the sax....looks like I missed out!!! R.I.P Mr. Clemons, looks like you touched a lot of people with your gift.
I am very sad to hear of Clarence Clemons' passing. He will always be one of the greatest saxaphone players of all time. The E Street Band will not be the same without him. Clarence, thank you for the memories.
Also best wishes for a speedy recovery and prayers Clerence. Man I missed the '80's when you had positive and uplifting music played on the radio and MTV (when they used to play music videos.)
PS This song has personal meanings to me. It helped me to recover when I was 12 years old the death of My sister's first husband a few months earlier in summer of '85.
@lorenzo152857 check out nme .com. Julian did a track by track review of their new album and for Undercover he said this song Youre a friend of mine influenced it!
Weird to think this was the inspiration for Under Cover of Darkness, a song by The Strokes, but then again the Strokes are inspired by the best of music.
This song is just so amazing!! Always loved this one!! Such a feel good song!! This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥
classic wwf at it's best (apart from Hogan's acting!)
loved that music clip - Elizabeth looking mighty fine. Can't remember where i was but remember loving it (but being a bit gutted that Savage was turning bad cos he was my favourite!!)
@chrisport1972 Best part of that Main Event was the reaction from Jesse right after they showed the mega powers clip:
"McMahon I'm disgusted! Once again you've edited tapes to prove your point! You know if you'd been around when Nixon was in the White House he'd still be the President! You know I'm right! There's a lot of dissention on that team, and your part of the cover-up!"
The more important thing to ask is...Where were YOU when the Mega Powers exploded that Friday night in Feb 1989?
Been looking for the song for a long time. Gotta admit it is hard to interpret the lyrics but I finally figured out the name of the song. This song is a classic.
always reminds me of the laughs a buddy and I would have before he suddenly passed away, I play this song time to time in his memory and I can feel him smile down on me.
So great to hear this song again, first time in a long time. I rem loving the original video, hope it's on here. A great pairing, Clarence and Jackson. They gave us such a good song-melody and lyrics, so enjoyable to listen to now.
Beautiful pics of Jackson Browne. He is both beautiful and serenely handsome -- like he has something from the inside out. I will always have a sense of respect for the person he is -- I've enjoyed watching him evolve and grow through the years . . . Hope he shares many more years with the public, and I'm glad he is still energetic enough to tour the world..
this song brings back one great memory of my older sister selena. she sang this to me when we both were younger and it made me feel very special since now she let the sister between us sever that relationship to smithereens. i still think of that moment whenever i hear this song..makes me smile despite the years..thank you for putting it here so whenever i get blue, i can smile throught the tears of a broken sister bond.
Thank you! A friend of mind send this vidio to me this morning- what a great way to start the day! In this high-tech, full-color, 3-dimensional world of hours it's lovely to be reminded that what can still touch us as human beings is a great old song in a video with great black and white photos of the two great guys who sung it: substance.
The first time I was "in love", Christmas 1985, this song was playing on the airwaves. What a great feeling. Cold outside but so warm and cuddly when you got home and snuggled up to your sweetie. Thanks for posting this.
