A STORM IS THREATNING

Merry Clayton - "Gimme Shelter"

The 411: In a way, Merry Clayton did not really cover this awesome Rolling Stones song as she provided the back-up vocals for the original version with Mick Jagger. I prefer this more soulful rendition though. Also, Clayton's voice is heard on Lynrd Skynrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". Very nice? Yes.
