There was no Gimme Shelter without Merry Clayton...
Jeff Smith ..... DAMN RIGHT! That shit was LEGENDARY.
I so agree she wore it out
Not one of the many big stars that have been brought on tour have come anywhere close to matching Merry’s performance.
She's great but it's a Keith and Mick, at their peak, song so yes it would have existed anyway.
I like the way they left her singing free and integrated so differents musicians, cool.
Merry Clayton's contribution to "Gimme Shelter" was utter perfection. Nobody can even come close to her when singing that piece. God bless you Merry!
Yes! I always wondered who that voice was! Sheer perfection!!!
When they played her isolated track during "Twenty Minutes" I could feel my hair growing...
I don't even want to hear anybody else sing it.
That crack in Merry Clayton's voice came at a pivotal moment in her vocal and the flaw elevated the song to mythic classic status. It was always a great Stones song, but I wait for that Merry Clayton vocal. That crack in her voice still sends chills down my spine because it was real. A similar thing happened with Bachman Turner Overdrive in their hit "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," when the vocalist stutters the word "bbbbbaby" and on "nuthin'" -- that was an error originally. But they kept it because that flaw was the magical hook. And it was. This is what makes rock and roll so beautiful. The unforeseen that becomes art. That song has to have the stutter or it doesn't work as powerfully. Merry Clayton on "Gimme Shelter" was a moment -- her performance rocked like hell.
Merry Clayton was a backup singer to a great band, don't elevate her to any other status
@@mikedenman2567 you're right, she was a backup singer... However, her contribution was a part, and not an insignificant part, of capturing and communicating the emotion that the songwriter was trying to evoke. Without her, the song would still exist and would probably be popular, but it wouldn't be the same. At least not for me
It’s ABOUT TIME TO GIVE MERRY CLAYTON HER DESERVED RESPECT AND CREDIT, WISH IT WAS SOONER-this song is what it is BECASE MICK JAGGER WAS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE one HELL OF A VOCALIST
I so agree I think she is so unsung great voice bad material
Now THIS woman can SING!! She KILLS IT!! Outstanding! I've been diggin' her FOREVER!
Merry and Lisa both killed on this
Thank you both for the great shock to my system every time I hear each of you. I feel so close to heaven, words don't do y'all justice.
Would have loved to hear them do backing on Eric Clapton master piece
Lisa sang it perfectly so many times live without cracks :) Of course it's a Merry Clayton vocal line, thanks girls.
This is awesome history telling.
Merry Clayton.. Legend
So, so, so true!!
Lisa Fischer does a great job
The Stones asked Bonnie Bramlett to sing gimme shelter, but her husband said no. So they asked Merry Clayton
Mary touched me in places I neber knew I had...
That fiddle on Country Honk kills me.
I salute the rolling stones. They placed Merry Clayton on the stage whilst the racists danced and cheered to Gimme Shelter.
They should have Merry Clayton as a special guest on the current Stones tour to sing her part on Gimme Shelter, instead of having cover version guests.
I wonder because of her miscarriage she wouldn't do it losing a baby can be a mental strain
Unfortunately Ms Clayton lost her legs as a result of a car accident. I'm not sure where that falls timewise, possibly sometime around the time of your post. Keith Richards played the benefit gig they had for her. From what I read, she was accepting of her situation and ready to move on with getting back to normal as best she could.
With all the things that were going on at the time in the 1960's, by '68 it was only going to get worse - Nixon got elected. HA HA HA! "GIMMIE SHELTER" captures it, spot on. Great Classic work done by all in the song!
@5:10 to skip the old white dudes rambling and get to gimme shelter!
Gimme Shelter is an Awesome song...top 5 all time. For some reason this song feels like was written for a bluesy feminine voice...There is a version with Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Lisa Fischer, Patti Smith and the always the original first one...Merry Clayton...
Robert Christgau is quite rightly highly regarded as a journalist and critic; but his contention that the sixties wasn't so bad - in spite of the daily bloodbath that was the Vietnam war, assassination, intercity rioting and the police killing and battering civil rights protesters, all of which 'Shelter' depicts - is almost funny.
Robert Christgau is an asshole.
Ian Stewart???
Yes it captured the era......2 nd to Jimi Hendrix machine gun.
What is Chevy Chase doing , giving his opinion and commentary to a Rolling Stones song?
Slim Jim... I could ask the same question about The Stray Cats drummer having an opinion
love the stones however gram parsons should have gotten a share of the publishing

Music unite skin color
mary clayton sang so hard she had a miscarriage.
spanky stone indeed she did! NEVER WILL I FEEL LIKE SHE RECEIVED DUE SUPPORT AND RESPECT THIS SONG WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT HER!
It's Merry not Mary :(
Jagger has done fake black voices FGS! So much false knowledge in this mainly in trying to downplay Jagger for someone reason? Even when talking bout sympathy and street fighting man they don’t even praise his lyrics or say that sympathy was his song but when a Keith song they come all over it! I’ll never understand the Jagger bashing? He was the greatest frontman of all time from 65 to 78!
Give me shelter from the Black supremacists in 2020
