Merry Clayton - Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow

[FABIOFRANCESE]

Bell bel pezzo

[djdavemick]

Groovy turntable!

[DanielBowden1975]

The groove is strong in this one

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Merry Clayton had a top 40 hit with "Telephone Man".

[drwhatson]

er, I think you'll find that was MERI WILSON ! LOL

[SoulThing1981]

what a great rendition of the Barretta theme by the woman who sang back up vocals for the likes of Joe Cocker, The Rolling  Stones. Merry Clayton is a true gem of a session vocalist / soul artist who came back in 1987 with her hit Yes from the movie "Dirty Dancing" i don't know if she's still doing session work or recording her own material nowadays . Whatever happen to her she has an amazing voice.

[MsTexas73]

Don't forget she sang backup for Roy Ayers.

LURVE her voice!

[78rstp]

AND THE ROLLINGSTONES AS WELL

[ChrisOtheBigC]

Merry Clayton's "Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow" lp SO needs to be reissued on cd, along with her "Merry Clayton" and "Gimme Shelter" albums. Thank you for this tatse!

[clean3]

Yes, Merry sang the chilling call and response chorus on 'Gimme Shelter'...and with all due respect to the wonderful Dusty vamppyros old man, I'm not sure she could have cut that particular cookie.

[vampyros1]

Dusty could have cut any cookie she damned well pleased......she had range, soul and tone out the wazoo-

[OPTHWAN]

baretta!!!

[vampyros1]

As soul singers go, Merry Clayton was no Dusty Springfield, but still pretty terrific! And gorgeous too...no wonder Bob Dylan chose her as shis main squeeze...

[nizxbit]

She's much better-just relatively unknown.

[drwhatson]

"Merry Clayton was no Dusty Springfield"???!! - I should bloody well hope not! LOL

[valerysgirl]

drwhatson...Merry Clayton is the best.

[drwhatson]

That's what I'm saying, especially on songs like "Emotion" (MCA, 1980)

[rckmcqd]

did she sing on gimme shelter?

[jeanjacqueslebon]

yes she actually did perform her own version which is a killer!

[IwishIwasGood]

If you listen closely, you can hear Mick Jagger give a loud shout of approval after her voice cracks the 3rd time she belts out the word "Murder"

[aschlochmann]

muuuoooaaa!!!!!!!

[biglongcadillac]

Great clip, and it's fun to watch the turntable go 'round

[demonsbutterfly]

Merry Clayton Right up ther with Etta James and Aretha Franklin. A true Vocalist, not like a lot of so Called "Superstars" of Today who have there voices altered by Technology. Keep Music Live

[jigga2jones]

[laskinko]
