What a BANGER to start off the week!!! What’s the next Stones track we gotta check out?!?! Let us know down below!! Cheers! 🔥🤟🏻
Andy & Alex Jumpin’ jack flash! Please!!
Great RS choice!! From the Olddd days, “Brown Sugar” is fun😎💝
A must do is Sympathy For the Devil. A later version or live one.
Sympathy for the Devil will blow your socks off!! Lyrically brilliant!
Sympathy for the devil ,ruby Tuesday.just wondering,are you guys angry that we grew up to this stuff and you guys were stuck growing up listening to 3 min radio garbage?just curious.as always dudes,great job ,great life.MERRY CHRISTMAS BOYS
I think the backing vocals by Merry Clayton are among the finest ever on a rock song.
I don't consider it backing vocals!
@@loosilu I hear where you're coming from. Let's call them co-lead vocals :-)
9 months pregnant at 2am
She absolutely nailed it. I had never noticed, until someone mentioned it on here, Mick Jagger's "Woah !" in reply to the second voice crack
@@danschrader4854 And then she went home and miscarried soon after.
Hands down one of the greatest Rock N' Roll songs ever written.
Yep!
Hands down it is THE rock anthem of the Viet Nam war era.
The Creedence tune, "Fortunate Son", while damn good is a distant second.
@@YerPope a band from venice calif would differ.
@@kelvinkloud They would be full of themselves
@@markh2200 jagger, though talented, would wait for trends to develop, then drop the goods for mr Jones … the boys from Venice pushed the perimeter the summer of ‘66 at the whiskey, dropping the heaviest song of the era 3 years earlier.
"Gimme Shelter is the best thing Keith and I ever wrote" Mick Jagger
It was surely one of the great "rockers" they ever wrote, but as far as lyrics are concerned, "Salt Of The Earth" is better songwriting.
Great tune, but not legendary without Merry Clayton.
@@diamonddog13 Richards co-wrote the song, but 1969-1974 belonged to "the man" Mick Taylor. The former John Mayall Bluesbreaker, took lead guitar for the Stones to another level.
No arguments here.
@@falcon5467 That or possibly "Sympathy for the Devil"
Every time I listen to this, Merry Clayton’s INCREDIBLE vocals blow me away. They give me shivers in my spine. Best decision The Stones ever made was to let Merry Clayton shine on this. Definite goosebumps material! BTW, this was recorded at like 2-3 in the morning. Merry was called to the studio in LA, came in and blew them away on one take. Oh yeah, she was several months pregnant at the time.
Merry Clayton was/is phenomenal!
The whole song is just classic. Jagger and Clayton pushing each other to their vocal limits, Richards incredible guitar work. Watts & Wyman providing their usual steller percussion and bass work and the overlooked piano of Nicky Hopkins. Just Rock n Roll at its best.
Shivers & goosebumps. Yes indeed 👍!
@@RM-iq7dk only LOVE for Nicky Hopkins! Vale Nicky!
@Sleeping Village really!! When she told the story she told it so vividly: she was asleep, Mick called her, she said, no. And again, to tell her a car was coming, she was pregnant, didn't want to get up, but up she got, threw on some clothes, her slippers, left her hair in curlers, went to the studio, in like 2-3 takes it was done.
Her voice crack in this is one of the best moments in Rock and Roll!
Merry delivered the goods!
With headphones on, you can hear Mick and the boys lose their shit when she hits the crack. The whole story of her pregnancy and coming in the middle of the night, and hearing them celebrate in the background in real time. The greatest moment in rock history.
That "break" in her voice took the song to another level.
Listen closely and you can hear Mick exclaim after her 2nd crack!
Mary had a bad cold causing her voice to crack.
So visceral and real
I'm 80years old this year, still loving THE STROLLING BONES, please never leave us....😎😎from Australia...
56 in Brisbane, spending my Saturday doing this. Awesome stuff :)
@@debralucas2224 keep on rocking Debra ,music keeps us young and so good for the soul...😎😎 from Perth...
Bless your heart! 55 here and I will also be rocking in my 80’s if I’m still here.
@@sammycat1052 I've a son 57years old, he's more of a Beatles fan, maybe I could swap kids, and adopt you? Ha ha .....😎😎from Australia....
@@peterclinch6740 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I found the two people who never watched a single Scorsese film in the last 30 years.
How is that humanly possible?!!! 😆
I was thinking the same
Hilarious
Based on their Who takes, they have never seen an episode of any version of CSI.
@@mc76 IKR
When her voice cracks you can hear Mick Jagger give a “wooo!”. He was right there in the studio with her.
I can’t imagine anyone would record like that these days. They’d do another take, or worse yet they would edit it out on the computer, sucking the life out of the song.
What’s the time stamp of that happening?
Djsharkbite
Her voice cracks at 4:01 of this video and Mick Jagger says woo right after. You can’t hear that on this video though, because A & A are talking. If you listen to the track on its own you’ll hear it. I learned it from the documentary called Twenty Feet From Stardom about backup singers.
They talked seriously at that point
They left Mick’s reaction in intentionally, as they left in the female singer pushing her instrument beyond its limits . It was illustrative of how far past the edge the world had gone. We were at the breaking point in the late 1960s . A little known and tragic piece of the story of this song is that the female singer was pregnant. Her performance so strained her body that she miscarried the next day. Listen to her performance and understand what she lost in pursuit of her art.
@@bernardboka4277 read that she lost her legs in a car accident recently.
Merry Clayton cemented her legacy in this song with her fantastic vocals. She is a world apart.
THE best Stones song, hands down.
And that is saying something , considering their back catalogue , no other band , has gone through stuff like Miss you , and Ghost Town …Ruby Tuesday , and street fighting man ….its FOOKIN ridiculous , once in you blood the Stones are one virus you can never be cured from , been my bible to get me through life
I actually prefer 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' but I LOVE how those two songs open and close this album, one of the greatest albums of all time. :)
I won't disagree, but I think Can't You Hear Me Knockin is better. The instrumental section is unfreakinbelievable.
Next to "Bitch".
Brown Sugar
The Stones are the same age as the Beatles but their influence was more blues based. The Beatles pop based. Both incredible gifts to mankind. We all loved them.
What a perfect way of putting it, you are spot on.
i am a proud fan of 1968 White Album
Me thinks characterizing The Beatles as "pop based" is a gross oversimplification, and does not do the ingenuity and genius of their groundbreaking and genre-bending music justice.
It didn't help that Mick tried to copy everything the Beatles did.
"Do they have more songs of a similar caliber?" Lol...yeah... it's the f.ing Rolling Stones.
Whoa, children, it's just a shot away
Ikr, where do you start? They and the Beatles defined the 1960's
When this first came out, I thought it was the best song ever. Still do.
"You probably never really knew how good you had it." That from my 14-year-old son.
One of my top ten.
Gives me chills. Every. Single. Time.
I think the Who "I Can See For Miles" by the Who is the greatest ever but this is right behind it or equal.
Great choice. Sympathy for the Devil obviously should be next Stones.
Good one, or Tumblin Dice but when Mick Taylor was in the band
Not a fan of sympathy for the devil. Just never was. Gets too repetitive for me maybe.
@@MrAitraining I wonder if you like Eminem, ( I do), because in the song " my name is ", he says it 48 times. Now thats repetitive
Picked the same as well, Peter! It's an epic story of suspense... So well crafted. There was a 40 min filming of them recording Sympathy, but they took it down & only have, I think, 6+ minutes? It was fascinating to watch!
Finally the best Rock band in the history of rock! Can't you hear me knockin is a banger that will blow your mind!
RIP Charlie Watts. Gentlemen, give us another STONES tune, in Memorial...
"Sympathy For The Devil" should be your next Stones song. And pay attention to the lyrics, because they're pretty dark.
Did you hear the background singer singing "Rape, Murder...it's just a shot away just a shot away". Thw song is about a small town in Nam where the American soldiers led by corporal Calley went nuts and killed 400 men, women, and children. Fun song huh? Music is fine and dandy, but the lyrics to songs of this era are what spruce the music.
@@billrehberg9271 No. It's been documented more than a few times by Keith Richards that the inspiration came from a sudden thunderstorm he saw:
"I had been sitting by the window of my friend Robert Fraser's apartment on Mount Street in London with an acoustic guitar when suddenly the sky went completely black and an incredible monsoon came down. It was just people running about looking for shelter - that was the germ of the idea. "
He also said he and Mick added the lyrics about rape, murder, and shooting as escalation into chaos and apocalypse.
(Joe Pegel:) "I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made." The Hundred Years War. Meanwhile, John Lennon couldn't state publicly that he wasn't a Christian believer and remain in the Beatles.
@@billrehberg9271 truth
times 10000000...this here
For me, the moment is when she sings "Rape, Muurrder" and her voice breaks! (and it becomes then becomes a SCREAM!!! It's primal)
Somewhere on RUclips is/or was that vocal isolated. And her name, I can't remember talking about recording this.
@@viviandarkbloom100 Thanks. I'm going to have to look for it now.
@@viviandarkbloom100 Found it. ruclips.net/video/ChONufP0FEs/видео.html
Wooo!
Absolutely! Brings me to tears every time!
Gimme Shelter is like a soundtrack to the Apocalypse. "It's just a shot away." I believe the Mary Clayton's background vocals were a single take. They got her out of bed and she laid down the vocals in her hair curlers. Sympathy for the Devil, Jumping Jack Flash, Brown Sugar, Tumblin' Dice, Rocks Off, and Bitch would all be worth a reaction.
And she was seven months pregnant, singing “Rape! Murder!” at the absolute top of her range.
Ton of documentaries about it, but two I really recommend are Muscle Shoals, and 30 Feet From Stardom, which are on and off of Netflix all the time.
It's actually Merry Clayton
And it’s actually 20 Feet from Stardom.
She actually had a miscarriage after this...some believe it was due to the strain she put on her body to belt that out
Powerhouse voice!
You can hear Jagger yell "YEAH!" after Mary Clayton cracks on that last "MURDER!" scream. The story behind the recording of this song is remarkable.
in that era of Stones recordings....Jagger was the king of exclamations behind the songs...the yeahs, woohs, etc. One of my favorite aspects of Jagger in that time frame. They always sound natural and organic...never forced.
I read that was Keith.
I just realized that it's the same Merry Clayton that's on cagney and lacey
Merry Clayton asked the guys if they wanted to do a retake because her voice cracked and they were like hell no... It was perfect.
Which is?
I don’t have a right to say this but I’m so proud of you kids for opening your ears and appreciating this music that came along SO Many years before you were born! Good on ya!!
John Napier Amen!
Nicely put John 👌
Kelly Lehto thanks for the thought, buddy! Yes, we did have the biggest variety of the best music to absorb, didn’t we? I was born in 1965 so I guess that makes me a X gener, but I was mentored by my older cousin so I got on the right path. I’ve got a music video on RUclips. Search “Sancho Party Started” and tell me what you think. The thumbnail is live shot of my long hair band playing. I’m the singer. Cheers, good to know you’re out there!
Yes
I'm an old lady who grew up with the music of late 60's/early- mid 70's and this is one of the best songs ever!!! We used to sit in a circle around the coffee table, smoking pot, drinking beer and listening to all the rock of the day. It was awesome!!!!! Really miss those days. Thank you guys for appreciating early rock. ✌
Hear ya! Sister!
It’s unreal how much great music came out that era.
Wife says that guy looks like a hippie.Daughter says that Andy looks nice.I think you two are brilliant,take care.
and burning the bras and draft cards
We did it then, and I still do it today.
That overdriven harmonica gives me chills everytime. It sounds like sirens, the f*cking apocalypse. Jesus this song is too good.
This is my favorite Stones song. I love the energy, the feeling of desperately trying to get away, to break out of a repressive bubble, the frustration and feeling of angst. I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Merry on this track! She OWNED this song! I love how she not only throws out the energy, but you can tell she is challenging Mick-- making him reach for more to meet her. Amazing song. You can't sit still on a song like this. Love you guys!
Watts and Wyman, if not the best then top 3 for backing percussion/bass for any group ever. There is no Stones sound without them.
Greatest rock song, ever! During Vietnam, Panthers, Weathermen, SDS.
Riots, protests, Kent State. Very dangerous times. We all grew up with total annihilation by the BOMB
You kids have nothing
I repeat nothing like the subculture we had
It’s sad. The music and its messages and personalities just isn’t happening now.
You’ve been BORGED
1. Sympathy for the Devil
2. Wild Horses
3. Ruby Tuesday
4. Paint it Black
5. Street fighting man
6. You can't always get what you want
As Tears Go By, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Get Off My Cloud
Street Fighting Man has such a killer intro riff, you could listen to it on loop all day.
Jumpin jack flash
Richard Edenfield Miss You
When she screams "rape, murder" at 4:00, it's just blood-curdling. Her tone and voice breaking up at this spot almost hurts. Great reaction.
I know everyone's gonna be sayin' "Sympathy For The Devil" next, but I'd really like your take on "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" Sax by Bobby Keys and the guitar work from Mick Taylor and Keith Richards are so freakin' TASTEY. Not that "Sympathy" wouldn't be great, but just get a little, tiny bit off the beaten path, dig just a little deeper than the hits/radio hits.
Glad ya liked "Gimme Shelter", Andy. Really dig the reactions you and Alex have to some of music history's best. I'll stick around for awhile. Maybe long enough for y'all to get around to "Sister Morphine"?
That is my favorite Stone's song. This would be my choice.
Couldn't agree more! Can't You Hear Me Knockin' is a stone cold classic that doesn't get the same recognition as Sympathy or Paint.
and to me, both Sympathy and Knockin' have been used in movies and on radios soo many times over, along with Gimme Shelter. It shocks me that just about everyone isn't familiar or hasn't ever heard those tunes. Here's the one which is a GREAT JAM, Mick T. is top notch, and to me, has always been underplayed and underrated. ruclips.net/video/PZaTeQBpsDM/видео.html
Drummingvulture I agree.
M
Charlie Watts is a jazz drummer who also plays in this band.
I’ve always said you two need to release bobble heads as merchandise 👍😂
@RUTHLESS SAUSAGE
Hahahaha I know right! 🔥🤟🏻
Fuck, yes, good idea...
TRUTH
Merry Clayton adds sick vocals to IMO, their greatest song!
She was requested by the Stones. She says she had never heard of them at the time. Cool story about the whole thing. Google it.
@@bidensclueless7353 oh I have... there's a RUclips video with her and Mick talking about it...
Check out the documentary 20 ft.from stardom .it's about background singers.Mary Clayton has get own segment. Pretty awesome
New Orleans’ own Merry Clayton. Legend is that she got the call for the gig and that she showed up and sang her iconic vocals with rollers in her hair.
Sam Clayton's sister, (from Little Feat), I have been told.
Do Monkey Man and Can't you hear me knocking.
Yup
Bingo.
And let's not forget, Angie
Yeah monkey man
ctmaz68 Love Monkey Man!!
Merry Clayton got out of bed in the middle of the night to sing back up on this track. I don't think she had had ever met the guys but was recommended and she did a fine fine job. Applause to all back up singers.
And she was apparently heavily pregnant!!!(True)
@@stephaneherringtoniowritin4986 Yes, unfortunately she suffered a miscarriage the next day.
Money's money
that was her first take, she wanted to do a retake and the stones said, "are you kidding?"
She said it was her third try.
searay26 correct ruclips.net/video/ChONufP0FEs/видео.html
She was also 9 months pregnant when she sang it..and miscarried right after she did it.. attributed it to the intensity of her performance..
@@grandtheftautotune7715 that's not true. They did a whole section on this great performance in the documentary 50 Feet From Stardom. They did get her out of bed and drive her to the studio, totally cold. She didn't know anything about them or the song until she got there. I believe Jagger was going to do that part himself, but it wasn't working out, so they decide at about 2 or 3 in the morning to try a female vocal.
Merry Clayton. Incredible talent in her own right.
Gimme Shelter, otherwise known as the song from almost every Martin Scorsese film.
Yes, this is very true. He just loves this one.
And why not? 😉😂🙏
Gimme Shelter is the Stones at their most get down badass peak. Totally captures the insanity of the times.
exactly..its everything that was goin on.. like the Mona Lisa when you see what's happening in back of her..Altamont, Woodstock..while the "45" spins on-
"...at their most get down badass peak." If we're talking badass, I'd have to go with "Let It Bleed" (You can be my rider, you can come all over me).
Merry Clayton was in bed asleep at midnight when she was called to do the backup. She went in her pj's and curlers and I believe got it in one take. She was also very pregnant and unfortunately suffered a miscarriage shortly after doing this.
When Alex knows the song, and it's Andy's first time, Alex just cannot help himself. He looks at andy with with a $h!t eating grin at all the key moments waiting for his reaction. Kind of funny.
"Monkey Man" has a similar sound and feel, and also a straight banger.
I love the way that song opens!
Oh, good one !
Agree, also Suck on the Jugular is another funky one.
Yes! I think Andy would get a kick out of Keith's guitar on that one.
I really like the whole album.
This is the very best Stones track ever recorded...
I love you guys! You get it! This is a spine chilling classic! Merry Clayton was called up in the middle of the night to record her legendary vocal , and she nailed it!
I'm surprised nobody is suggesting Midnight Rambler, in my opinion their best song after Gimme Shelter.
I did 😎
I did too!!
Followed by Sympathy for the devil, the democrat party anthem .
The whole Sticky Fingers album!
there is literally like 20 stones songs you could play that are iconic ..
Evileye68 that sounds perfect
And then some!!!
Let it Bleed is my favourite Stones' album forever - so many great tracks!
They didn’t “find” their sound. This was the 1960s. The Stones, The Beatles, The Who and many more-these bands were creating the sound; MAKING the sound that defined an era.
Don't forget Eric Burton and the animals
Agree 1000%. The late 60s and the 70s produced kick ass music that is still being played today and, at times, sampled by musicians of this generation. Puff Daddy sampled the iconic intro to Led Zep's Kazmir and when I told my nephew (when he was a teen) where it came from, he couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't believe he sampled it from a rock band.
Rob Foreman thank you. I didn’t have to say it - you did!
Rob Foreman sorry to contradict you, but yes, they did find their sounds, sounds they borrowed from black American blues musicians. They all even did covers during their early years. Check your history.
Louie Neira not borrowed. Influenced. We are all, not matter what our art, a product of our influences. Many of the artists you’re referring to have tipped a hat the inventiveness of these bands, too and these bands have equally reciprocated. I didn’t think I had to say that but I was wrong. Look more deeply into the history you’re referring to.
I feel sorry for kids who were raised on the shit being produced today and not having had the opportunity to experience real music by real musicians.
There were many "classics" that had little or no radio play and I believe it to be the case today. The internet has allowed everyone on it to be hipsters.
prikov1 Yep. Sadly, in this day & age, Mary Clayton’s voice cracks would be edited out today. Those little ‘imperfections’ are what makes music powerful. Pro Tools & other programs like that makes music a soulless mess.
There are still awesome young bands playing rock. Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown, Rival Sons, The Struts, Greta Van Fleet, KALEO.... just to name a few. Give them a listen ;)
@@lovroknezevic8555
Some bands are ok..but greta van fleet tries too hard to sound like Led Zeppelin.
@@prikov1 fair enough. Give Kaleo - No Good or Glass House and Barns Courtney - Fire or Glitter and Gold a try. Think you might like em
You guys need to check out the Mick Taylor years. Taylor is the guitarist that joined the band between 1969 - 1974. Easily their best musical period. A great song that features Taylor's amazing solo work is called "Time Waits For No One" from the album "It's Only Rock N' Roll" 1974. Absolutely incredible guitar solo by Mick Taylor. Great job guys!!! Merry Christmas...
My fave Stones song..❤
@@ginaluvsrush6093 Me too! Awesome, underrated tune!
Don't leave out Bobby Keys Sax!, but yeah, Taylor was at the very top of his game, for sure...Ol' Keef didn't really like Mick T...Told him he was a great guitarist, but he wasn't a Rock'n roller..Keef could be a petty little bastard...Didn't much approve of people outshining him, I guess..Mick was a much better lead guitarist.
@@sjd5750 Yeah Steve.
Actually from what I heard, that song was the last straw for Taylor.
He claims he wrote most of the track, but Jagger & Richards never gave him any songwriting credit for it. He had enough...
@@paulsullivan1650 Doesn't surprise me..Keith, and Jagger were not beneath that, at all..Don't get me wrong, I love 'em both for what they brought to the table, but, yeah..They could be that way.
R.I.P Charlie Watts. As a drummer, I want to stay in this groove forever!
I agree Albert, Charlie killed it on drums. RIP Charlie..
THE ROLLING STONES - Mother's Little Helper
Completely underrated banger.
The lyrics of Mother's Little Helper is a masterpiece, they should do It live in every show!
david viteri And it’s still super relevant!
19th nervous breakdown is mostly forgotten as well
There are many songs in Rolling Stones discography that did not have enough recognition, like Heart of Stone, Let It Loose, Live With Me, Some Girls, Rock And A Hard Place, Too Much Blood, Connection, As Tears Go By, Citadel, In Another Land, Out of Time, Dance and much more.
Hey guys. Very interesting to hear your takes on this timeless classic. I'm a member and music director of a Stones tribute located in southern CA and I can tell you this. We situate this tune virtually smack in the middle of a 90 minute or two hour show. Our female backing vocalist kills this. In fact, our criteria for this role, besides being a great harmonizer, is to slay this song. No doubt a SHOW STOPPER each time we perform it. Merry Clayton was called by them in the middle of the night to record it and did she ever deliver. Lisa Fisher and others, including Lady Gaga, have sent it to dizzying heights as well but let's face it, there's nothing like the original, that first time you hear this. Nice job, kids.
As an old man who heard it in real time I’m amused and heartened
Plus one
Like a well oiled machine...saw them live in 1964 when I was 11 years old...back then you were either Beatles or Stones..I was stones...still am..
Can't say enough for Keith Richards...his guitar makes so many of the songs brilliant.
Pretty cool that Keith wrote this tune!
If you've watched a Scorsese movie, you've heard at least part of this song.
Or Tumbling Dice
Ironically, one of the few Scorsese movies without “Gimme Shelter” in it is the Stones concert movie “Shine a Light”
It was also in Adventures in Babysitting, partly anyway, and every time I hear it I think of that particular scene. A car driving along under the "EL" in Chicago....it's on You Tube....check it.
My vote for the next stones song is Can't You Hear Me Knocking
oh fuck yes
Late 60’s and early 70’s was when the Stones ruled.
_Exile_ is life
The guitar riff in the beginning and Merry
Clayton as background vocal queen makes
this a powerful well delivered rock song forever 😎
You guys always want the best first. Then you're left with songs not as dynamic. For me early stones were the best. 💋
💕Angie - is their best song
🌈Like A Rainbow - psychedelic
💎Ruby Tuesday -
😢As Tears Go By - written by Melanie & Jagger for her solo album
🎸Dancing With Mr D - awesome bass
🎷Symphony For The Devil
🥂You Cant Always Get What You Want
🐎🐎Wild Horses
🔥Jumping Jack Flash 🔥
🍯Brown Sugar
What he said.
Angie is the worst song
DeadMeat_015 No it isn't the worst song, you've just heard it too many times? Me too.
7avalon! This is a PERFECT list!!! Well done! :-)
@@yarsivad000.5 Maybe that's part of it, the "heard it too many time syndrome." I'm old enough to have heard these these songs on the radio when they were in heavy rotation. I'm pretty sure I've heard the song "Angie" hundreds of times, for instance, and none of them by choice. But I think it's more than that. When I look at OP's list of songs, they are the exact Stones' songs that make me tune out. To me they're just...well, pablum. For the next song, I would recommend, in no particular order:
Midnight Rambler (live '69)
Monkey Man
Little T&A
2000 Light Years From Home
When The Whip Comes Down
Hang Fire
Bitch
Play With Fire
Emotional Rescue
Hand Of Fate
It's Only Rock 'N' Roll
Happy
Live With Me
All Down The Line
Shattered
She's So Cold
...And a bunch more. This list is already ridiculously long. But I'm 100% sure I NEVER need to hear "Wild Horses" again. Just typing that sentence got the song stuck in my head.
Try a little Brown Sugar.
Spot on. First heard it in the disco scene from the movie Nighthawks. Loved it ever since. Such an iconic opening.
The guitar riff from “Can’t you hear me knockin” is maybe the best from the king of guitar riffs.
God YES
Don Richter mick Taylor. He was perfect for the stones and gave them their Exile sound.
Mick Taylor! Superb.
I remember when I was a kid and music scared our parents. Now the only thing scary about music, is how lame it is.
This wasn't early in the game for the Stones, they were 7 years into their career. Merry Clayton did her vocal in one take.
They called Clayton "randomly" in the middle of the night, and she showed up to the studio "in curlers" and did the verse in a few takes, which Jagger remarked is "pretty amazing." Clayton performed the duet while pregnant, and soon afterward suffered a miscarriage; some have attributed the miscarriage to the physical strain from her exertions during the recording.
And, I read, she miscarried not long afterward and attributed this to the intensity of her performance here.
Two takes, straight from her mouth in "20 Feet From Stardom". Check it out.
curbmassa yeah, you got in first-she did a take and they were happy, but she insisted on going all out on a second. Ref:20 feet from stardom.
know Gimme Shelter was written during the Vietnam war right
Yeah, we would play it on a boom box, with 2 1,000 amp speakers on our chopper. We played when on attack. The VC knew we were coming to get em.
@@michaelbrynesr1451 ...and that's all I have to say about thayat"
This is my favorite song by the Stones. The first time I heard it was watching a documentary on Vietnam and it was played during the footage of Operation Rolling Thunder, the intense aerial bombardment of the country. The song blasted while the bombs and napalm ignited the jungle, and the helicopter flying in laying down machine gun fire. It always stuck in my mind.
Wow! I’ll bet!
"Tumbling Dice" needs to be heard.
Larry Williams perfect songwriting
One of the greatest songs of all time. Absolute perfection.
That’s an excellent request!
Hard to believe that this is the first time you've heard this! The Stones had so many hits you could spend a month listening to them. Try "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?" next.
Sympathy for the Devil and Can't You Hear Me Knockin? -- those should be next, and Can't You Hear Me Knockin' should be first...it's one you both might not know, and it's a definite BANGER!
Honestly their parents should be ashamed for not exposing them to this stuff...
I agree! How could anyone grow up without knowledge of the Stones? I taught my kids all about music and they repaid me later with their music.
Hopefully them doing the discovery on their own will really help it stick.
it's cool for people to discover and appreciate music on their own terms, not just because their parents or grandparents tell them it's good, although obviously that's kind of the dynamic of some of these channels lol
I don't understand that at all.
The Stones specifically wanted Merry Clayton as the backing singer.
Very cool song. "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo" gotta make your play time next. Seriously.
It is such a amazing story about her doing the back up.
@@MaryIBEW And a bit bitter sweet.
@@1001000111 I was talking about how the story is for us, which is what MaryIBEW was doing. I wouldn't presume to represent how a pregnant woman would feel about a miscarriage, even though my own second child was in such trouble during pregnancy that we couldn't bring ourselves to name her until two weeks before she was born. I assume you've been through this personally or else you wouldn't demand some grand emotional gut wrenching and vulgar expression of how Merry Clayton must have felt, even though I doubt you know her. Are you sure you are Vanduraa Sr and not Jr? You write like a teenager.
I heard it was Jimmy Miller who suggested her. He gave her a call late at night to come down to the recording studio. She showed up with her hair in curlers. She wouldn't have gone but she and her husband needed the dough.
Mary's voice cracks on her last "Rape, Murder" line and if you listen closely you can hear Mick say "Woo!"
There's a documentary "20 Feet from Stardom" about the singers who sing backup on several classic songs and she talks about singing on this (the subject matter, etc). The movies awesome, BTW.

BD Mary carries this song.
She is called MERRY Clayton :)
Love that part
A&A - Yes! Knew you'd love this 10! Merry Clayton is a powerhouse & should hear her isolated vocal. Merry let it rip to push Mick to the max. You can hear Mick say "woah!" in recording! Great choice & reaction! So good. Fantastic start to the week. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to you! :)
Her cover of it's pretty good, a bit funkier.
@@paulqueripel3493 She is so amazing! Great gift to us. :)
I’m so jealous of kids today hearing stuff like this for the first time! I was about 12 when I heard this track for the first time and I’ve loved it ever since. Peak Stones!!
Watching these guys turn on to great music is taking me back to those days
“Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” from Sticky Fingers (1971)
Rape, murder, is just a shot away.
Love, sister, is just a kiss away.
The greatest song ever by the Rolling Stones. I loved this one from the moment it was released. Great reaction guys!
I don’t think there’s anything close to Gimme Shelter. Stones fan for life. 🤟🏻
Check out the album “Sticky Fingers”, Brown Sugar; Bitch; Sway; Can’t You Here Me Knocking; Dead Flowers; Wild Horses etc. It’s a classic! 🎸
"Sway" may be the most criminally overlooked song in their catalogue. Mick Taylor's lead work is magnificent.
Stones fan since '64. I think "Beggars Banquet" is criminally overlooked, as was the "Flowers" album. "Sittin'n On A Fence" is a little acoustic masterpiece.
A70s CLASSIC ,, RELEASED IN 1971
Sympathy for the devil
LIVE VERSION
Studio. Always preferred the mastered sound, closer to what the artist envisioned.
Seen these guys 3 times. Never disappointed. Great live act!
BTW the "Black Singer" LOL Her name is Merry Clayton, No that's not a typo LOL This song is what she's most famous for.
Paul Rogers Evidently they called Merry out in the middle of the night to record. She showed up with her hair in rollers and a kerchief on her head, belted out that song turned around, and went home. Merry Clayton made that song what it is!
@@nanook8721 she didn't even know who they were either, she was a studio contracted singer and she was pissed about the 3 am call lol what an amazing song.
@@nanook8721 That incident is was also what caused her to have a miscarriage
Nan Rod: She did two takes.
I'm not huge Stones fan, but you should do "Sympathy for the devil" next
She lost the baby she was carrying after that performance... sad fact
I read that not too long ago she was in a car accident and lost her legs. So heartbreaking - but this beautiful lady keeps going ♥️ very close to her friend Darlene love - also the wife in the movies lethal weapon
Andrea Deamon yeah.. she’s had some terrible luck in life 😳
@@bledzeppelin76 and she can still smile ♥️
Sad
@@andreadeamon6419 Her arm fell off also, she was losing limbs left and right. It's a sad business.
"Get Your Ya, Ya's Out" is the most amazing live Stones' record, whether you are still alive or half dead. Some of the recent Marquee Club live cuts from the same era of music have come up recently on RUclips, and they are great, but seem like a rehersal and showed how teyas fabulos a dress rehersal for the most insane tour before or since.
The Stones were at their absolute peak during the Mick Taylor years. Those albums were the best.
They called Merry Clayton in the middle of the night and called her in to the studio, so she came in in a robe and curlers and did the song, then went back home to bed. She freaking nailed it !
Merry Clayton was called at 1:00 in the morning to come into the studio to record with the Stones. Merry showed up VERY pregnant and in hair rollers and a bathrobe.She nailed it in just 3 takes. Tragically, Merry went on to miscarry her child later that night. The success of this song brought deep pain to Merry, and she could not listen to this song for quite a long time.
@@MommyDawn1 is this true?
@@cov9290 Unfortunately it is!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Clayton
Pregnant
And was pregnant. Mic drop.
"Brown Sugar" is another classic. You cannot deny the RIFF MASTER, Keith Richards's killer riffs in so many Stones classics.
Y’all need to see the flick “12 feet from stardom” and see the story behind this song.
Jumpin Jack Flash
Mary Clayton was called in late on a stormy night to record this song.
She was pregnant & wearing curlers.
Stones thought it an amazing take with her voice crack.
Sadly, she lost the baby.
Yes. All true A&A. She didn't even know who The Stones were. I do think this was like take 2? She didn't need to redo her vocal after she hit that amazing "vocal crack" Alex was talking about.
Yeah I didn't see you added that fact, I did as well. Makes the song so significant to me.
Merry Clayton
Lawrence Dizon-Weisberg Oops❗️In a hurry, my fingers forgot.
Richard Otten The more the Merry-ier❗️
Great tune but it can't top Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Mick Taylor absolutely owns it.
You're right, the harmonica is so cool, especially when you take into account that Mick only plays two notes on it.
Try Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones.
Or the Live version for the solos
Or the whole album of Beggars Banquet...
Awesome shit!💜
The Beatles were a great band, but really poppy. The Rolling Stones to me were the essence of what RnR was. Sympathy for the Devil should be next.
The Beatles early stuff was poppy but later got much better.
Brian Myers You obviously dont know shit about the Beatles
“Can’t you hear me knocking”
eh
YES !
I live vicariously through these guys , I would love to go back in time and fall in love with gimme shelter all over again ! And OMG THE STONES ?!!! Wow , that would be so cool to hear FOOL TO CRY all over !
Radar love by golden earring
The odds y’all haven’t heard this song are very low
@Matthew Fortuna
Alex had heard it, I hadn’t, watch the intros dude lol
Matthew - This is not surprising considering their ages. It's never too late to be exposed to and appreciate greatness.
@@vincelupo8254 I'm in my 20s and most of the music I listen to is from 60s-80s.
Not really. I was about 24 before I heard it
Definitely one of the greatest songs ever. 51 years later and it still deserves plenty of spin time. Long live The Stones!!!
The best ever rock song and my favourite from the Stones.
I was a student '69 to '77 and there were so many great bands, British and American
This is the song answer I have always had when someone wants me to explain The Stones to them. This is their musicianship, vocals, lyrics, production and their blues-based rock at its finest.
