Rape, Murder, it’s just a shot away!

Has any back up singer anytime on earth hit a series of unbelievable tones as Merry Clayton does when she sung those words in studio. I still get chills five decades later. Best back up vocals ever

Hard to argue.

It’s definitely way up there and probably on top, but I’m not in the mood to think about or look up possible alternatives. I’m end of the week pooped.

btw, such a great intro. If I’d ever made a movie, I was going to use that song. Then that rat bastard Martin Scorsese used it in a couple of his films and co-opted it from anybody else using it.

Just reading those words the music comes flooding into your head.

Longtime Stones backup singer Lisa Fischer killed it on this night...

Truth, DWags.

And, remember the lady who sang that part at the Stones show we were at at Ford Field? She was jaw dropping.

Not the same league at all, but, I also think of Ellen Foley singing the female lines on "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".

Help me out with myth vs fact. Was she pregnant when they called her up and said come to the studio. She did and she miscarried. Legend or fact?

Pretty sure it’s a fact, it’s on her Wikipedia page.
