Can't trad into WOS territory, but tired of Tequila. Yeah, great sax but not feeling it today

Leave it to the girl from Beantown to throw some Morphine in the mix. Me likes. Another BOS.
Wow Morphine, forgot all about them, just a sax and drums, right?  A lot of noise from two guys!
No, they had a bass, too: the late Mark Sandman. Two strings.
Props to you Wayback. Was just going thru the request thread, and you've gotten four hits so far (although one was the oft-called-for Baker Street).
Well, most were pretty obvious: Jr Walker, Bowie, Baker St, Tequila, Bruce w/Clarence, but I dug The Dan, Stones and Morphine tracks o' sax.

Clarence Clemons played at a holiday party where my wife worked.

Saw Clarence give a free concert about 15 years ago at Oakland ferry dock, on the big lawn in front of the Port of Oakland building just north of Jack London Square.  I videotaped it on a new-at-the-time camcorder, perhaps I should get that transferred to digital.   Of course saw him with Bruce numerous times over the years.

Death happens. Is it ever easy for those that cared about/loved the deceased?

A few rather significant pauses before AL turned up the mic and then in the first minute of the backsell, don'tcha think? Was AL a little verklempt? I would not be surprised.
Let's get right to it.

Regrettably I missed this set. But I do remember when George Harrison passed there was a 10@10 dedicated to him. Dave didn't seem all that worked up about that incident... it seemed almost like an obligatory dedication.

The time is coming when more of the music stars of the '60s, 70s, 80s will pass and we'll take a moment to pay tribute then as well.  However, think about it, there are many '50s music stars still with us: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Everly Brothers, Paul Anka, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Bobby Rydell, Little Anthony, Harry Belafonte, Pat Boone, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Debbie Reynolds, Dave Brubeck...

Now THERE's a trivia question for which I'm not sure what the answer is. Who is the oldest still-living person to have a Top 40 hit (1955 on)?

And perhaps another question: which of those artists you mentioned would be worthy of a 10@10 dedication set?
