Clarence Carter was One Cool Cat. Only heard him once, in -75, but him and Springsteen put on a great show, with much love and humour. He had a great tone, in the tradition of Johnny from The Hurricanes, and the tenor sax players in Little Richards band, like Earl Bostic on steroids. The originals in music are - in my mind - fewer, this day.
Today Gary Tallent is the only one left from the the original E Street Band, except for Springsteen.
