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.
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.
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.
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 !
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
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!!
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.
That took real guts♡
Believe me, sister, southern man still needs to get it together in 2024

The only voices on her level that I know are Jackie Verdell or Bessie Griffin
I love Neil Young's music - but this "cover"...oh God. Unbelievable. Fantastic. Thank you Merry. You are the Best.
I love this version. However there's something about the way Neil Young did it. I could listen to it all day.
I love you Merry Clayton! Thank you!!!
Merry Clayton Killed It!
This is what SOUL looks like. My word, all I can say is SING MERRY, PLAY BAND!!!!!

What a dynamic singer !!!! I LOVE her....
Her moves. Definition of feeling the music. Every beat. 😁 Yeaaa
I could watch this beautiful powerful woman singing all day long. Love Mary.
Amazingly funky and full of soul
Dang -That's one of the greatest covers of a bonafide classic rock song that I'ver ever heard...
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.
She's still alive..

Best video on UA-cam. I can't get enough.
Love that voice !!!!!!!!!! in fact , all the band !!!!!!!!!!!
What a groove, band & voice. The thrill is on!
Unreal she was so talented such a shame she didn’t make it!
Wow ! All of them !
Soulful song. Learned this was the sample for a Dungeon Family/Organized Noize song.
I think she's really "made it," and her voice is is singing the truth and she's still loving along her road...
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!!
Amazing talent!!! Love.
Merry Clay owns this song!
Awesome cover of my favorite Neil Young song

This is how to perform with every ounce of your being
What a great version
This is so cold!
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.
all around perfection
George, was delighted to be a small part of it. Glad you dig. He lived for his Fans.
My new favourite thing-- holy shit, indeed
What a powerhouse!
Wow!! Amazing cover!!
Just found a new obsession! This band her voice🤩
She Never Got The Credit She Deserved!
The Righteous Deep Blues. Fly on...............
😊Marry Clayton, simplemente MARAVILLOSA!!!!!@
Why am I just hearing this in 2022, it's been 50 years!
This song deservs 10 bills of views and subscribers.
I learned about her on 20 feet from stardom a music documentary
Sensacional ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantástica!
THANK YOU!!!
Wow !
Unreal
Fantastic
Holy shit.
AWHOOOOOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💋
Mary could blow, and her band is blazing
My ones and my twos leave your whole town shook, better listen to your corner and watch for the hook! - Cool Breeze
Esse som é da pesada 🕺🏽💃🏽
Wow! This is fantastic. Who is the band backing the great Merry Clayton?
Not sure but that could well be her husband Curtis Amy on sax, who was Ray Charles's one-time music director.
@@j.joiner6263 What are the odds that two killer sax players from the same era share the name Curtis?
Everyone who love this song should listen to the version of Akshin Alizadeh - Southern Man
This is who Janis Joplin was trying to sound like!
WOW
Now, Neal Young knows Dolly Parton, (Whitney's cover) feels.
The sweater she has on. Who made it...
She was never going to get any shine with Aretha Franklin dominating the scene at the time
Oh oh yes!!! Neil Young who?
Watch for the hook!
Come onnnnn her voice like cocaine for me 🎺🗣️😮
Yeah, Southern Man paid back in blood. Duh.,
One of my favorite singers. But she didn't have the right songs to be a major 🌟 starr
It's not a motown song. It's not a soul groove. It's a historical feel. Not something to dance to!
Cyndi Lauper's influence
Who else is in the band?
