Merry Clayton - Southern Man

[@georgesemper1139]

George, was delighted to be a small part of it. Glad you dig. He lived for his Fans.

[@blackjakko]

I could watch this beautiful powerful woman singing all day long. Love Mary.

[@SpleenOverseas]

Love that voice !!!!!!!!!! in fact , all the band !!!!!!!!!!!

[@kellymcginnis8631]

I love you Merry Clayton! Thank you!!!

[@gbr_hrvth]

I love Neil Young's music - but this "cover"...oh God. Unbelievable. Fantastic. Thank you Merry. You are the Best.

[@bwj1158]

I love this version. However there's something about the way Neil Young did it. I could listen to it all day.

[@asupertramp948]

Her moves. Definition of feeling the music. Every beat. 😁 Yeaaa

[@striality]

Oh man she;'s a beast. What a voice

[@iluvmyboba]

Thank GOD there's only one Merry Clayton. Truly a very original voice. That little screech she does without any build up is amazing. This is what you call a vocalist with grit.

[@npol024]

The only voices on her level that I know are Jackie Verdell or Bessie Griffin

[@jamiyabennett4503]

Amazingly funky and full of soul

[@Martine1love]

Amazing talent!!! Love.

[@jdarrah17]

Killer voice, especially doing backup on Gimme Shelter. She deserved more fame than she got. They all did -- Darlene Love, Lisa Fischer, Claudia Lennear, Tata Vega, etc.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

She's still alive..

[@thekaliko]

​@@cockeyedoptimistaas of today, they all are.

[@bigemont]

I intend to look them all up. I'm a fan of Lisa Fischer, and have been listening to Merry Clayton. " When the World Turns Blue ! Peace and blessings y'all !

[@pezazul2917]

And no playback at all! ( yes, gimme shelter is a masterpiece)

[@paulamiles9559]

It seems like all the biggest singing stars were fans of Merry Clayton but she was out of the spotlight. I'd never heard of her until I saw an interview where Cyndi Lauper mentioned Merry as her primary influence

[@johnfulton4921]

What an amazing singer should have been superstar

[@thierryprevost4805]

What a groove, band & voice. The thrill is on!

[@simonwood3457]

This is how to perform with every ounce of your being

[@williemays]

Merry Clay owns this song!

[@dsh.2502]

This is CRAZY ..SOOOOO GOOOOOOD

[@vicarious4231]

Cool breeze- watch for the hook brought me here

[@heidiblunden6831]

What a great version

[@michaelespy6651]

The Righteous Deep Blues. Fly on...............

[@samtheman686]

Awesome cover of my favorite Neil Young song

[@sherylconley9126]

What a powerhouse!

[@a3a14613]

Why am I just hearing this in 2022, it's been 50 years!

[@valeriaalves8563]

Sensacional ❤❤❤❤❤

[@agustinsd438]

😊Marry Clayton, simplemente MARAVILLOSA!!!!!@

[@di-ot4pq]

This song deservs 10 bills of views and subscribers.

[@richkidboywonder]

I learned about her on 20 feet from stardom a music documentary

[@cattinamarie6545]

Wow!! Amazing cover!!

[@dimancor2925]

Everyone who love this song should listen to the version of Akshin Alizadeh - Southern Man

[@hassenmobarek5129]

Superbe. Groovy Merry. 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@kiwanishinton9410]

Mary could blow, and her band is blazing

[@28ksam]

Huge Neil Young guy, and I'd probably say After the Gold Rush is my favorite album of his. Might say, though, that this cover is even better than the original.

[@kcsunshine6122]

Wow! This is fantastic. Who is the band backing the great Merry Clayton?

[@j.joiner6263]

Not sure but that could well be her husband Curtis Amy on sax, who was Ray Charles's one-time music director.

[@npol024]

@@j.joiner6263 What are the odds that two killer sax players from the same era share the name Curtis?

[@eugenevincent145]

Fantastic

[@andygolightly6100]

Holy shit.

[@robertwoodyear2814]

Now, Neal Young knows Dolly Parton, (Whitney's cover) feels.

[@bigsed112]

THANK YOU!!!

[@dinosaurdino]

This is who Janis Joplin was trying to sound like!

[@zonalestesempre6777]

Esse som é da pesada 🕺🏽💃🏽

[@qualityserviceexperts9996]

Yeah, Southern Man paid back in blood. Duh.,

[@remowilliams7555]

WOW

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Cyndi Lauper's influence

[@slimturnpike]

Who else is in the band?

[@newmenewme-iw2ox]

This is what SOUL looks like. My word, all I can say is SING MERRY, PLAY BAND!!!!!

[@Ron71997]

No one can sing Southern Man like Neil Young, however this cover hits real hard - right to your soul about the pain and suffering that went on. Her voice so clear and powerful. Amazing.

[@lemonhead162]

So funky & cool! Why can't people be so fun-loving like they used to? I was a kid when this was filmed, but I do remember how good life was back then!!

[@kennethanderson1710]

She Never Got The Credit She Deserved!

[@kennethanderson1710]

Merry Clayton Killed It!

[@craiganczelowitz7225]

Dang -That's one of the greatest covers of a bonafide classic rock song that I'ver ever heard...

[@jitkasuarez]

My new favourite thing-- holy shit, indeed

[@kristinewood3473]

I think she's really "made it," and her voice is is singing the truth and she's still loving along her road...

[@fun4masc]

Wow ! All of them !

[@MrOvadose101]

Soulful song. Learned this was the sample for a Dungeon Family/Organized Noize song.

[@alfieleavy88]

Unreal she was so talented such a shame she didn’t make it!

[@philipjiggins6791]

This is so cold!

[@snugglebear09]

all around perfection

[@dawnfrancisco8355]

AWHOOOOOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💋

[@chesterkohlmeier3451]

Oh oh yes!!! Neil Young who?

[@jettyprice179]

What a dynamic singer !!!! I LOVE her....

[@josiesiudut-bf2rj]

One of my favorite singers. But she didn't have the right songs to be a major 🌟 starr

[@bookaholicblue2169]

Just found a new obsession! This band her voice🤩

[@edub813]

Watch for the hook!

[@marioleonibalpedroso3073]

Fantástica!

[@esi2952]

Unreal

[@sahar8292]

Come onnnnn her voice like cocaine for me 🎺🗣️😮

[@khiggins8733]

Wow !

[@antmac5335]

My ones and my twos leave your whole town shook, better listen to your corner and watch for the hook! - Cool Breeze

[@Anewceen]

The sweater she has on. Who made it...

[@terryosborne5397]

It's not a motown song. It's not a soul groove. It's a historical feel. Not something to dance to!
