The late Clarence Clemons recorded these Christmas tunes back in 1981.
En 1981, los productores Dennis Bourke y Jim Nuzzo se encontraron con Clarence Clemons en un estudio de Nueva Jersey para grabar el tema original de Bourke (co-escrita con el fallecido Stevie Betts), «There’s Still Christmas». Clemons puso voz en la canción. El equipo también registró una versión instrumental de la famosa canción de Nat King Cole, «The Christmas Song», con Clemons al saxo. Bourke y Nuzzo recuerdan que Clemons iba vestido de Santa Claus cuando grabó las canciones (imagen que refleja la portada del CD-Single). Estas canciones nunca habián sido editadas hasta ahora.
Este CD single contiene tres pistas navideñas. CD digipack.
From the producers:
Back in 1981, we were blessed to have the opportunity to share some time with Clarence and record these marvelous Christmas tunes. He poured himself into the project, wearing Santa gear and really capturing the essence of the season. We had hoped that these recordings would have graced the airways back in ’81 but we were too late approaching the record labels that year. Subsequently Clarence’s career skyrocketed with the Red Bank Rockers, a hit song with Jackson Browne, and of course his tremendous run with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. With his passing in June 2011, we were all saddened to lose this American rock icon. One of the beauties of recorded music is its eternal power to play on long after the artist is physically gone. Clarence has a parting Christmas gift to us all with these soon to be holiday classics. Open up your hearts and listen to the Big Man say Merry Christmas to the world.
–Dennis Bourke and Jim Nuzzo
