What Lady Gaga wants, Lady Gaga gets -- just ask Clarence Clemons, longtime saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Clemons told Rolling Stone, "She said, 'We'll put the tape on and you just play. Play from your heart. Play what you feel.' It was all very pure."On a Friday afternoon three weeks ago, the musician was putting together an exercise machine at his home in Florida when a call came that Gaga wanted him in her recording studio stat. He dropped what he was doing, flew to New York, met Gaga at midnight and had a track recorded three hours later.
Clemons' sax can be heard throughout the "Hair" single, including a solo.
He says he was a Gaga fan prior to working with her and is an even bigger supporter now, "She's the real deal. All the craziness and stuff, there's a purpose to all of it. She has no boundaries. It's a day I'll never forget."
Lady Gaga's Born This Way album will be released in May.
