Merry performs her classic rendition of the Stones mega smash "Gimme Shelter". Not only was she the featured female vocalist on their version she also covered the song on her album of the same name. The album has recently been reissued on CD in Japan by Video Arts/Ode Records . This was video tapped at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA. Notice the superb Waters family singing backgrounds vocals.

  • wikipedia entry says she had a miscarriage after recording this song with The Stones, because she strained to vocals so...I doubt that...

  • Does anyone have a post of Merry Clayton's version of the pop group 10cc's " I'm Not In Love" ???? If so - could you please post it? Thanks!!! I can't find it anywhere.

  • Tremendous rendition!!! The only thing I'd like changed (which is impossible) is to see this with her as the lead singer AND the backup singer. The first time I ever heard the Rolling Stones version of that song, I was totally devastated by her singing. She makes that song what it is. Great voice Merry!! (born on Dec 25th hence the name "Merry")

  • I thought it was Grace Slick on the original for years. Sounds just like her

  • When she delivered those original vocals on Gimme Shelter - she was only 20!!!

  • Amazing singer!!

  • i love this song - and I don't mean to be a hater - but i don't love the hi-hats.... who mixed this thing??

  • Awesome!

  • Amazing, Soulful Performance; she looks great!

  • Electrifying and looking GOOD!
