Merrie Clayton's backing vocals for the Stones' Gimme Shelter is fucking historic

She was pregnant and sang it in the middle of the night in her robe and a scarf. There's nothing out there like her contribution to that song.

She actually sang background on Tori Amos's Cornflake Girl-

I loved her in the not great film (but sweet film) Maid To Order starring Ally Sheedy

Amazing singer. Her song “Yes” from Dirty Dancing is one of my faves from the soundtrack.
