The backup singer was phoned up in the middle of the night and she belted out that magic in her bathrobe and rollers in her hair. She totally killed it! Her name is Merry Clayton.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

One more fact. She was pregnant at the time. Sometimes the stars align and magic happens. 🤘😎

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

So it was recorded in America? I thought she went to England.

[@sallybannister6224]

She miscarried her baby shortly after tragically..

[@ronaldelliott4373]

The great Merry Clayton, as the story goes, went into a N.Y. recording studio in the middle of the night while pregnant and laid down one of the great vocal performances in rock history. Her voice cracking twice when soloing is legendary in the minds of those of us around at the time. 60yrs of Stones work? It’s gonna take time to get through the best of their catalog. 😉

[@raymondmanderville505]

When Merry Clayton let go with everything she had you can hear Mick Jagger loadly exclaim Whaooooo !

[@bungle3912]

She lost that baby shortly after doing this, poor woman.

[@Bikebrh]

That is the most famous busted note in music history, as far as I know. Amazing backing performance from the great Merry Clayton.

[@AliasMark69]

BANG.... This one is Outta Here. Another Home Run Hit. I saw the Stones live in 1989. What A Show they put on. I consider them the 2nd Greatest Rock Band Of All Time.... second only to The Beatles

[@josephdownes4718]

👍 u nailed it man

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

I AGREE!! Honorable mention to The Beach Boys and The Eagles!!

[@traviscook5768]

At 3:23 after Mary’s voice cracks you can hear Mick Jagger go “Woo!”

[@williamabrams9882]

Very sophisticated lyrics. Very sophisticated music.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

My all time favorite Rolling Stones song! Merry Clayton elevated it above what would be good without her, but with her became incredible.

[@jacqueline4514]

As you are seeing, the Rolling Stones are one of rock's greatest bands EVER. Next Stones songs: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Miss You" 🔥

[@vickihirsch8340]

Mary Clayton hits it outta the park with her vocals. The song works so well because of her

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

She’s a crucial component, but she’s given too much credit. Charlie drives this song with great tempo and plays with some muscle. His thudding drum fills emphasize the dark underlays of the song.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Moreover, Keef’s tremolo guitar rhythm in the intro and Jimmy Miller’s percussion arrangements are all far more integral features than Merry’s voice. She’s just the cherry on top. Without the other elements, we don’t have a song!

[@Mike-gn4un]

@@fuchsiaswing8545 You’re spot on Fuchsia. No disrespect to Merry but without that driving riff and haunting lyrics and vocals by Mick the song wouldn’t be the same

[@nordogvids]

Seen the Stones live 4 times, starting in 1981. One of my favorites is the studio version of "Beast of Burden"

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

I love the drums in this and that dirty guitar. Yes! Gets me moving.

[@joecampos5624]

I like how this song is saying war is just one shot..away ..but love is just a kiss. Away...so what one do you pick

[@egorock1632]

Make love Not war

[@slimpickins9124]

"Their stuff seems to have a deeper meaning" , yeah, The Stones weren't afraid of anything. Like your style young man, let it play & you seem to get most of the tunes.

[@f.murphy8340]

Mary Clayton was pregnant when she did the backing vocals. She also suffered a miscarriage the very next day, which adds another level of intensity to this song.

[@mikehaight8664]

I agree how fast things can change in a heartbeat.

[@user-dh8sg8ur5e]

Wow. Female Vocals by American singer Merry Clayton. Amazing singing voice!

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Such a versatile band. So glad you like them.

[@somersetcace1]

The lyrics to this song is kind of a take off of a very common phrase at the time. "Make Love, Not War." If you think it through, what he's saying is that it's as simple as a kiss vs a shot. And yeah, Mary Clayton's part is iconic.

[@MotivatingInspiration]

Such a great song. Coming from the tumultuous Vietnam War era. Filled with Truth. Have we as a world not learned anything yet? thumbs down to the governments/politicians.

[@angelagraves865]

Love this song!

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Man, Charlie on those drums. Perfection. 👍🏽

[@AliasMark69]

Hey JM, you're hitting some home runs with your selections. Step up to the plate and hit a Grand-Slam with this. A Classic Rock Icon from 1967. I saw them do it live when I was 14 years old and it was awesome, BUT this performance will make you want to stand and applaud.....Procol Harum "A Whiter Shade of Pale", live in Denmark 2006. BTW, the band name means "Far from these things" in Latin

[@Codex7777]

Remember that, at the time of release, you had the ongoing Vietnam War, the Cold War and inner city riots.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

all time classic! Check out their song Waiting On A Friend

[@johnniekight1879]

If you wanna take a trip with The Stones try "2000 Light Years From Home". One of the most psychedelic tracks of the era.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Another great one by the Stones.

[@terenzo50]

Merry Clayton! I repeat: MERRY CLAYTON!!!

[@rdhudon7469]

Another historic anti-war song from this era that is still true today is War Pigs by Black Sabbath .It is still happening today.

[@bobburroughs6241]

One of the great songs.

[@Quennyism]

Merry Clayton was the phenomenal backup singer for this song!! Check out the video with her vocals isolated!!❤

[@alex-E7WHU]

You simply cannot top this.💋🇬🇧

[@guidosarducci]

Excellent reaction, man...I agree with your analysis. Thank you.

[@kenhoyer8601]

let it Bleed was the Stones peak

[@vickihirsch8340]

This is one of many many loved Stones tunes. Saw them in the 70s and Doobie Bros opened for them . I suggest Beast of Burden as already mentioned

[@raenellefisher8514]

If you want to hear a dark song from the Stones, I recommend Midnight Rambler.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Keep throwing those Stones man. My all time favorite group. Great reaction as always man. Be safe.

[@Thewatcherinthering336]

Everyone says the same things about this legendary performance! Merry Clayton absolutely crushed it on this song, even humbled Mick Jagger! Incredible and powerful!!

[@14gilbertst]

Greatest song of all time.

[@worldfamouslanglois4805]

So much funk .. so much story .. one of the greats thanks for doing this one

[@audiofile8833]

There's a LOT of great anti-war songs from that era. Black Sabbath did War Pigs, Creedence Clearwater Revival had Fortunate Son, and so on and so forth. You don't hear songs like that anymore. I guess people got tired of protesting war. I'm glad you're reacting to songs that I've loved and known by heart for quite a few decades, and you're reacting to a wide variety of music. And that's what music is all about. My main music genres, the stuff I listen to the most, are probably classic rock, blues, r&b, soul and funk. That's the stuff I grew up with, courtesy of FM radio and HUGE record stores. And we didn't stream songs. We usually bought the entire album, and as a result we experienced a lot of different music. Mustapha and Fat Bottomed Girls off of Queen's Jazz album is a good example. You're walking off the beaten path you're used to and are being exposed to vast catalogs of music. And I applaud that. Some people say that they feel sorry for you because you hadn't heard of a given band or song. I look at it differently. I envy you for your journey ahead. I wish with all my heart, sometimes, that I could hear them for the first time, again. Enjoy it!

[@KillerNetDog]

Yeah Mary Clayton was the star on this track.

[@Chiari_Queen_T]

YASSS!!!! One of the top 3 Stones songs ever!

[@nanook8721]

This song may be by the Rolling Stones, but it belongs to Merry Clayton. RIP. ❤️

[@sergiogarcia-fk9ho]

Should listen to this song with a video called. Hey gunship. Vietnam music

[@AliasMark69]

You want "Deep".... Try this, John Lennon - "GOD". My all time second favorite song behind "Imagine"

[@AliasMark69]

Do this one.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWygKN-eL9nnaM

[@johnperez2635]

jmboy TV listen to the stones song "Harlem shuffle". so cool thanks peace be safe. Johnny

[@simonpanter3627]

Stones Vietnam song during the war.

[@dawnmoore4329]

How about a reaction to the man who turned down the chance to be a Roll8ng Stone? That would be the legendary Rory Gallagher. Rory was a musician's musician and his fans include Slash, Brian May, the Edge and many more. Rory was a force of nature on stage and could make his Strat sing, cry and scream. Try taking a listen to " Do You Read Me?" from the 1979 Rock Goes to College performance for a sample of his explosive energy. Thanks!

[@trep8387]

Tool Right in two ,the pot ,46 n 2

[@Xavier-Denis]

Very Clever our JM

[@markhenneberg2474]

Listen also to Sting - Fields of Gold

[@markhenneberg2474]

Hey !! Interesting comment !! How bout - BTO let it ride

[@arjaylee]

Classic!

[@carolbaumgart3773]

Check out a live performance of this song with Lisa Fischer singing backup. She commands the song.

[@SargonofQueens]

I miss the drummer Charlie wats. I just realized recently why I prefer The Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin. Even though LZ had great songs and guitarist. It’s because the drummer used cymbal a lot which made the sound more messy to me. I like the simplicity of the RS.

[@johnperez2635]

jmboy tv listen to mick jagger song just another night. its a groove. thanks be safe peace. johnny

[@johnperez2635]

jmboy tv - listen to the stones song - cant you hear me knocking . it's a banger . thanks be safe peace . johnny

[@troyshilanski380]

I almost lost a 67 corvette. Almost.

[@christinerobinson9372]

Putin. One person. But he did have help, and he still has supporters in our government.

[@futuregenerationz]

If you were to ask Mick Jagger, I'm pretty sure he would say 'watch the official video first. Then you can watch us live or whatever.' I mean, why else would they have made it? Anyway, I'm glad you did because from now on, original releases are the only reactions I will watch. I don't care how good the performance is and with who. It's about relating your reaction to mine. Your reaction to a different version is like comparing your apples to my oranges. It would have no value for me.

[@johnperez2635]

Jmboy tv listen to fool to cry. stones so smooth thanks peace be safe. johnny by

[@johnperez2635]

jmboy tv - listen to grand funk railroad cover song - of the stones song. it's lit. thanks be safe peace. johnnyboy

[@robinbeerman4726]

Listen to James blunt no bravery.

[@th.burggraf7814]

"Some Girls" would be another good tune for a reaction. But even if you don't wanna do a reaction to it, do yourself a favor and listen to the song.

[@octurn]

If you kill a Duke shit really happens

[@JMBOYTV]

For sure! Haha

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

Your bullets or your lips. What is your intention towards your fellow man?

[@TommyBackwater41]

Merry Clayton . Very special
