A wickedly ominous doom laden Rock n' Roll Masterpiece by arguably the greatest rock band of all time with Merry Clayton slaying the vocals along with Jagger
Merry Clayton! 👏👏👏 Empress, you said "Woo!" at the same time the Stones can just barely be heard behind the instruments responding in the same way to Ms Clayton's legendary singing. She did her own cover of the song. You can find it on RUclips. I'm sure many others will post the lore about her involvement in this track.
Merry Clayton was woken up in the middle of the night and asked to come down to the studio to add those vocals. She had no idea about the project or even much about the group. And she blew Mick and the Stones away. Here she is talking about her performance. ruclips.net/video/ChONufP0FEs/видео.html
Yes! Preach!! 🙌 This is my all time favourite Rolling Stones song and Merry Clayton makes it everything. Check out the a-cappella clip of her isolated vocals on YT, you hear those notes and voice breaks in all their glory. I always get chills and goosebumps when she gets to her solo part. The only way to listen to this is as loud as possible 💃Shocking story that goes with the recording sessions of this song too... she had a hard life did our Merry
merry clayton i mean what an insane performance by her. and a tragic story to boot look it up. this song on my personal soundtrack gets me charged up everytime!!!!
Merry Clayton for sure(Jodie Fischer live is great too)but also the minimalistic guitar solo of Keith Richards,coz it's such a tasty one!And this song is so groovy.
I feel like a kid at Christmas when you do one of my picks! Knew you would love this classic from 1969, but didn’t see 20s across the board coming! 😁 you’re the best! 😍
I just love seeing people as musical as you are. Whether or not you play or sing. Your reactions really have weight because you don't miss anything; musically or lyrically. ♥
Empress check out the Oscar winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. Follows some of the prolific background singers in music history like Darlene Love and Merry Clayton who sings on this track.
My all-time favorite Rolling Stones song! Merry Clayton kills it! Worth checking out is the RnR HOF performance with Mick, U2, and Fergie doing the Merry Clayton part. ruclips.net/video/LQNTNWaYlUw/видео.html
Merry Clayton. the greatest of all the session singers. chose to look after her family at home and making other peoples work sound fantastic. over her own stardom. had she gone that way. Watch the documentary film. '20 feet from stardom' about Merry and the Rolling Stones full time backing singer Lisa Fisher, amongst many others.
You said "Woo!" the same time Mick and Keith did on the recording. You win the reaction for this song. Hands down.
😁we both knew it was 🔥
Merry Clayton slaying the background vocals!
when Merry sings her legendary part alone, I get chills every single time.

At 4:07 Merry's voice cracks. Then you hear Mick in the background yell Woo.
Then Empress yells Woo right after Mick.
Agree the background singer deserves an honorablw mention
2:21 You know some history! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person with just a basic grasp of things that happened before I was born.
We're vibin 😎
Merry Clayton baby whooo! Check out the short clip on RUclips on how she got that gig.
thanks!

And she was pregnant at the time too! What a vocal performance.
You are right when you said it was a duet.

That's Merry Clayton wailing in the background...!!
Watch the documentary '20 Feet From Stardom'; she's in it.
Such a great documentary!
I found a clip on youtube of Merry on Queen Latifah show talking about being asked by The Stones to perform this.

Yes! Preach!! 🙌

Will do✅
Great reaction! The lovely Merry Clayton made this song!!!
Merry was great but the song is so much more as well. Pure groove
The point: war is just a shot away and Love is just a kiss away. Both a Moment away.
Ah!
Fear and violence to paranoia and back to hope. Stunning simplicity.
You should review some live performances to appreciate their charisma and impact .They do perform "live" 99% of the time unlike 99% of other bands 😂
look as pretty as always those eyes get me every time
Merry Clayton for sure(Jodie Fischer live is great too)but also the minimalistic guitar solo of Keith Richards,coz it's such a tasty one!And this song is so groovy.
Your eyes are incredible.
Absolute banger. Would not be half as good without Merry Clayton.
What a Reaction........

Its all about the Viet Nam war baby girl
I don’t think you were even paying attention to the lyrics and makes me sad that you don’t even know what’s going on in the world
and she dont know what they re talking singing about
Pregant Merry called in to nail emotional vocal. Unfortunately your baby voice interrupting ruins it. Bye bye.
