merry clayton is an unmatched vocalist... never imagined i'd hear both her and carole on the same recording, they sound like sweet sweet sisters, their voices together the sound is just incredible. i could lose my mind!
It's so good to see this again. I remember when this footage was shown on TV in the UK in the 70s (probably on The Old Grey Whistle Test) I have never forgotten it.Thanks for sharing
A very soulful take on the classic... of course, Maxine Brown captured a certain pathos that makes her version the one that elicits the deepest devotion... The Shirelles (also on Scepter/Wand label as Maxine Brown at that time...) did an extraordinary version with dual vocal leads... Carole King could write such profoundly spectacular songs... in the hands and voices of the right artist, they have become truly sublime and transcendent...

Oh Merry, one of the best female singers ever!!
The Great David T. Walker on guitar solo. You've heard him on alot of classics with the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye and others.
Fantastic sound on that guitar solo!!
Merry has a voice sent straight from Heaven .
Same Merry Clayton that screamed behind Jagger on "Gimme Shelter".
What a great video ! David T. Walker did fantastic guitar solo ! And nice to watch Wilton Felder (of the Crusaders) on bass ! Thanks for up !!

Love the arrangement on this. Love the guitar and the voice. Didn't think any version would challenge Maxine Brown's

Any idea how Merry is doing??? I was really hoping she would finally get her big break ...

So much for the separation of cultures!
I really want to hear this recording
Is that David Geffen in that plaid-like cap?
No it’s not geffen. It’s Lou Adler.producer
