Stevie Collabarations With Other Artists
Here on one of our national broadcating radio stations, 720am today 4/03/2024, with Amber Cunningham, they played The Rolling Stones, 'Gimme Shelter', and I was thinking wouldn't it of been great, to hear Stevie and Mick Jagger, singing this together?
Then they played 'Edge of Seventeen, commenting on 'The shugging 16th note guitar riff'. Wow, just Wow!:wavey: |

Merry Clayton's voice was incredible on this song. No-one could even come close to her on this song. I was talking in general and referring to when Stevie was at her "Peak Powers". It was just a suggestion, that's all. |

Ppppppleeeeeeeease! |
Gimme Shelter is the greatest "backing" vocal OF ALL TIME. They should have given her all the royalties from that song, because SHE MADE THE SONG.

No one could do this

Ann Wilson at age 60 did amazing on Merry’s part. Now she shouldn’t even try it.
I know Jim will jump in here as our Stones rep but I always enjoyed Lisa Fischer’s take on Merry’s part probably up until 2014. |
Although not quite as good as Merry's, I too like Lisa's version. Lisa is amazing singer who also sang backup for Luther Vandross for years.

My original, as posted, comment was only a thought. Not meant to cause dissent! Hello to 'Dissention', if you're out there, still. They were a poster from a long time ago! |

I don’t ever want to think of Stevie singing with Mick on Gimme Shelter. I don’t think even when her voice was at its peak I just can’t hear her singing that type of song.

I remember seeing the documentary "20 Feet from Stardom" that featured this story. Evidently, a very pregnant Merry Clayton at home asleep when she received a phone call from The Stones in the middle of the night asking her to come to the studio. She showed up half asleep with rollers in her hair and delivered the vocal in the sound booth. How long after the recording did she lose the unborn child? Do you think the stress and strain of delivering the searing vocal was the cause of the miscarriage? Since I heard this story, I always cringe a bit every time I hear the song. |

During the Mac's height of fame in the mid 70s, the Rolling Stones would check into hotels as "Fleetwood Mac" on their tours and then trash the hotel room. Mick Fleetwood and the band would actually get invoices for the damage. |
