  • ...Cheech7 Chong's "Vietnam",.- Get 'em in on the Horn!

  • @MichaelHansenFUN As it says at the start, 1970.

  • @TJTele You obviously need to have your microwave checked. Your Jiffy Pop sessions have been leaking. If I had to pick one name NOT associated with the incredible female backup on Gimme Shelter, it would have to be one "Emmaretta Marks." I think it's more likely to be attributed to Nicola Tesla, Enos Slaughter or Cyrus Vance Jr. Thanks for dropping by for the comic relief.

  • @neocelt yes

  • @MichaelHansenFUN

    haha serious?

  • what year was this?

  • Incredible!

  • @TJTele "Emarette Marks created the intro?"

    Merry Clayton, by every source and authority, provided the wailing VOCAL for Gimme Shelter. And I suspect Keith Richards wrote the intro guitar lick. Do you have any PROOF, other than your word, that Ms. Marks of "Hair" and Deep Purple song fame had anything at all to do with Gimme Shelter? If so, you've got the basis for a HUGE story my friend.

  • The women that created the intro for Gimme Shelter and you hear today most prominently on Gimme Shelter is not Merry Clayton but my Dear Friend the Great Emmaretta Marks, note Merry Clayton didn't even try to Reproduce the iconic Intro..!

  • Fantastic
