“Gimme Shelter” and “Like A Rolling Stone” are my top 2 “Rock and/or Roll” songs of all time.
The back story of Merry Clayton singing background is compelling and tragic.
She was called near midnight to come to a LA studio to record her vocals. Although pregnant, she went and gave a performance of a lifetime that truly blew Jagger away. If listening closely, you can hear him exclaim “Wow”.
Afterwards, she lost her baby from the exertion of her vocals.
“Naked voice from Merry Clayton in gimme shelter”
Merry & Jagger describe that late night session...and her voice is isolated - amazing!!!!
