About
Clarence Clemons's tenor saxophone solo on "She's the One" provides the song's instrumental centerpiece, his bold, unadorned playing perfectly suited to the track's raw, primal energy. Playing at 91 BPM in E over a Bo Diddley-influenced rhythmic pattern, Clemons rides atop the E Street Band's relentless groove, his full-bodied tone cutting through the dense arrangement with an authority that made him one of rock's most distinctive saxophone voices. The hypnotic pulse created by the drums and piano serves as a launching pad for his impassioned playing on this driving rock track from the Born to Run album.
Clarence Clemons was 32 to 33 years old at the time.
