Gimme Shelter’s Impassioned Merry Clayton

Posted: May 23, 2014

Hope you’re enjoying KQ’s Rock N Roll 500 Countdown of the greatest classic rock songs of all time.

#26 on the countdown: Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones. Did it place high enough on the list?

Iconic classic rock song, especially for Merry Clayton’s impassioned performance.

Check out her isolated vocals from the song in the video above. Chill-inducing. Mick even expresses his approval a couple times with a “whoo!”

Hope you enjoyed the count down and are having a fun & safe holiday.

Check back Tuesday morning when we’ll have the complete list posted on this site.
