Hero (Clarence Clemons album). Hero is a studio album by Clarence Clemons. Known for his saxophone work with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, Clemons released this pop album at the height of Springsteen's popularity following the success of Born in the . It spawned two hit singles, 1985's "You're a Friend of Mine", a duet with Jackson Browne also featuring Browne's then-girlfriend Daryl Hannah on background vocals, and 1986's "I Wanna Be Your Hero".

Hero (Clarence Clemons album).

You're a Friend of Mine" is a 1985 hit song, written by Narada Michael Walden and Jeffrey Cohen, with lead vocals by Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne in a duet. At the time of the song's release, Clemons was already well known nationally as the saxophonist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. The song was released on Clemons' solo album Hero of that year.

This compilation (P) 2011 Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. More By Clarence Clemons.

Only 2 left in stock (more on the way). Clemons adopted the spiritual name Mokshagun (Sanskrit for Lord's All-Illuminating Liberation Fire). The album was recorded during a break in Springsteen’s ‘Born In The USA’ tour and unlike ‘Rescue’ is very much an album of the mid 1980s with that dramatic ‘wide open space’ production sound, drenched in electronics. The album spawned a top twenty hit single, the duo with Jackson Browne "You're a Friend of Mine" and actress Daryl Hannah (Clemons’ girlfriend at the time), on backing vocals.

The Hero album cover shows Clarence Clemons as we’d probably like to imagine the late saxophonist in heaven-fists raised high and triumphant above the clouds. He's also wearing head-to-toe red leather, and it's less certain we'd picture that. Either way, Bruce Springsteen's close friend and longtime musical partner in the E Street Band did in fact step out into the spotlight as a solo artist 30 years ago. Hero came out in 1985, at the arguable career peaks for both Springsteen and Clemons. The year before, Springsteen had released his album Born in the .
