You have only skimmed the surface but thank goodness you are listening to great music
middle class british white boys reinventing black Louisiana blues..... humans are a funny thing
@@elingrome5853 And now, modern rock music is a blend of many, many styles. Seems things melt in the melting pots.
Sympathy for the Devil. No. Not my personal opinion. But one of the Stones best. If not the best ever. Please check it out. Love your responses to some of world best rock music. Rock 🎵🎵🎵.
Into the neighborhood
Don't feel sad or embarrassed that you don't know this music. You don't realize how many people envy you that you are hearing it for the first time and for the delicious ride you are about to experience with new discoveries.
Absa effect Lutely!!!!
I wrote almost the same thing before reading your comment. Bless these young folks for giving our music a listen. Love to see them react as we did when it was Brand New. 🥰 It's like hearing it again with new ears.✌🏼
So true. I grew up hearing this. I often think how cool would it be to hear some of this iconic music for the first time grown, with mature ears. I wonder how much of it is pure nostalgia.
well put
Yeah I was gonna chime in because I grew up in the rock ‘n’ roll era but I rewound and went back and listen to the music of the 20s and 30s and 40s and 50s has a lot of gold in them there hills
The great Merry Clayton elevated this song to an even higher level..her otherworldly vocals were phenomenal
Clayton sings a tour-de-force! The Stones were in the control room when she recorded her part. You can hear them exclaim as she belts out "R*pe, M*rder".
According to Jagger, the collaboration happened partially by chance: Jagger stated that the band thought, "it'd be great to have a woman come do the… chorus." They called Clayton "randomly" in the middle of the night in Los Angeles, and she showed up to the studio "in curlers" and contributed her parts in a few takes, which Jagger remarked was "pretty amazing."[
Honestly, my all time favorite female vocal track. She pushed it to the limit, and left it all in the studio that night. When the vocal cracks I get chills everytime, and I've heard the song a million times. I never get over it.
@shanewright9735 I'm the exact same, when her voice cracks it gets me everytime. Giving it everything she's got!
Sadly, If I remember she went home and had a miscarriage after doing this.
Us boomers didn’t realize how lucky we were to live during a musical renaissance. We were exposed to all kinds of music because R&B, RocknRoll & Pop music were all exploding with new ideas, sounds, crossovers and artists. We could & did listen to it all by turning a dial on the radio. I’m so glad some of this generation is enjoying what we had. It takes us back to our own first experiences with great songs and artists like this one. Thank you!!!
'62 model here. I agree. From the time we were kids, we heard wonderful pop, rock and country music on the radio. Great music was all around us.
I couldn’t agree more with you. At the age of 9 I was experiencing rock, funk, disco, and such an eclectic mix of genres. There is no other generation that produces more people that have such a wide band of tastes.
Yeah - we did! Music was everything.
Yeah thanks for the music Boomer.... And the destroyed future of every subsequent generation.
this was recorded during the Vietnam war , about 1968. I was there and this music part of our lives.
I still get chills every time I hear Merry's voice crack. It's a work of art as much as it is music.
I literally get a tear every time I hear her final scream. It's happening now just thinking of it
@@kathyhall2627 I think it pretty much relayed the fear and anxiety the song is about in one vocalization
If you listen carefully you can hear Mick Jagger let out a "whoa" that sneaked in to the audio.
Sadly , she had a miscarriage on that last note .
@@davidmoorecatdaddy6994 not quite but most likely the grueling session was the cause. 9 months pregnant and a miscarriage in the next few days, i can't listen to the song and not feel bad about this. Edit: apparently it was 4 months pregnant.
Gotta hear "Sympathy For The Devil", "Paint It Black" & "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
All great ones and I would add Jumpin Jack Flash.
Don't forget Monkey Man😊
Can't you hear me knocking for sure
Agreed.
And wild horses, start me up, doo doo doo doo doo, beast of burden, can’t get no, and countless others😂
The female singer, Merry Clayton, remained largely unknown after the 1969 release. Then, out of the blue, she appeared on stage with them on their 2013 tour and blew everyone away.
You gotta try Paint it Black and Brown Sugar
She was pregnant when she recorded this vocal and she joked that she was in the studio with her hair in curlers, expecting her baby and just letting it go! She took the song to a haunting crescendo. Their best stuff was done during this time .
she did not play with them on any tour
Lisa Fischer was the backing singer during that tour. Clayton did not perform with them live.
Great contribution...🌹
It's so good that younger people are discovering our music. Old age is the price I pay for being young when this music was first made. Great song.
I was born in 1955. We took all the awesome music of the 60s and 70s totally for granted. Great to watch someone hear this for the first time.
100% agree, red. So many MORE classics then, than since, imho.
Always gives me chills.
Born in 55 too. I remember listening to Everlys and Holly very early. My favorites. Stones Beatles followed. Still play lps!
Maybe its better we dont know when
Things will never be that good again.
Love your reaction, Polo.
It is FRIGHTENING how insanely incredible this song is. The vibe and energy is just off the charts! Everything from these guys during this era is straight fire.
True! and yet it somehow only got to number 20 on the Billboard #200???? cheers
And they're still an active band!
Over 50 yrs.old and it still rocks. Love it.😊
@@jordimoore2167Actually they are not active,they died long ago, when there are stone concerts, those guys are stand inside that look like the stone members
This song was released in 1969. I am 62 years old today, this kind of music was the fabric of my youth.
Me Too! Nothing and I mean nothing compares to the music of that time. Still love it after all this time
72 here. Had the album.
Merry Clayton’s voice is perfect for this song. She made music history
I will never get tired of hearing Ms. Merry Clayton belting it out like no other.
She recorded her own version.
Rolling Stones,“Sympathy for the Devil”, “Paint it Black”, “Satisfaction”, “Angie”, “Wild Horses”, Honky Tonk Woman”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “You Can’t Always Get get What You Want”, “Beast of Burden”, “It’s All Over Now”, “Miss You”, “Brown Sugar”, “Under My Thumb”, “Gril With The Far Away Eyes”, “Ruby Tuesday”, “Can’t Hear You Knocking”, and many more. Welcome to the Rolling Stone rabbit hole.
YES!!
Little Red rooster is a good early cover
Midnight Rambler! Pure stones!
@@acidthunder1That’s a good one, I have it on a cassette tape in my garage.
Devil live on Ya Yas!
I wouldn't trade the era of music I grew up in for anything!
I can never decide whether it’s sad that some people never heard this music before or how happy I am that they now discover it.
This song has brought a tear to my eye for fifty years, the power of the message is undeniable
Same for me. I like this version, but the one from Twickenham is my favorite. Lisa Fisher is UNBELIEVABLE on that one.
Female vocalist Mary Clayton was called after midnight to come to the studio to record a backing vocal track. She was very pregnant at the time and showed up, in her words, in fur with curlers in her hair. She nailed it in two takes and went back home. She miscarried the next day and is haunted still because of the loss of her child. This adds another layer to the menace to the song. Her vocal crack/break defines the song.
All true, actually her name is Merry Clayton 🧑🏽🦱 She also had a horrendous RTA and han to have her legs amputated .. A very brave woman ❤💜
I'd never heard that backstory about her. Thanks for that.
In the song if you listen closely are her voice cracked you can hear Mick say yeah. 👍🏼😃
Her performance has always given me chills, but I never knew this backstory. I don't know if I can even listen to it anymore now. Wow.
@@shawnrivera3071 yes sir!! There's actually a video floating around UA-cam which is the audio alone of her doing the vocals there and you can really clearly hear Mick Jagger say either Yeah or whoa but it's very very clear when you don't hear the music and just isolated vocals!! You can tell that Mick was totally impressed and blown away by it!!!
Best rock and roll band on earth. Born in the rough times in the very early sixties. These guys swept through the jump blues into nasty blues and into the only music like it ever.
Best opening riff in rock n roll history hands down - Keith Richards Kills this riff
Absolutely one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Great reaction.
This was out during the Viet Nam war. The stories coming out of that war were tearing the country apart, as the constant coverage on the tv showed the suffering of the Viet Namese people and what our soldiers were being turned into by the things they saw and had to do. On the last "murder" when Mary Claytons voice cracks you can hear Mick shouting "Hey!" in the background in appreciation of her giving her all to the song.
I was an "Unfortunate son", VN 64 - 66
When you hear Charlie’s drums on “it’s just a shot away”, bang bang bang. Been giving me chills for 40 some years.
Me too. So simple but absolutely perfect.
Don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this both live and on record I still get goose bumps! It’s a perfect song!
I've been listening to this for 50 years and this gives me goosebumps every time that opening guitar riff starts.
“Can’t you hear me knocking” is a groove. Really can’t go wrong with any old Stones tunes.
Great choice with “Gimme Shelter”.
My personal favorite is “Fingerprint File”.
Love Fingerprint File!
Sway for me.
Dude... Nobody (except for me, of course) talks about FINGERPRINT FILE. It's bar none one of my fave tunes of all time. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
I feel bad for younger people who haven't been exposed to multiple genres of music. I was born in '67 and back in the day, there was so much variety of music played on the radio. You couldn't help but to be exposed to rock, motown, r&b etc. Nowadays people listen to their satellite radio or whatever on their specific genre and don't get the exposure to other great music out there.
67 here as well to think this music was being made when we were babies and we still listen to it today tells you it stands the test of time 56 plus years later.
and I was born in 57, so I got all the late 60’ as well as the 70’s saw the stones in the late 70s, so much great music
Born in 62. My family migrated from Texas to CA in 72.
I spent the 70s in a rural California area with a limited number of popular radio stations available. But as the post states, those stations played a wide variety of music, and in a nice mix. Some varieties of songs you'd never hear on the same station now, were played- you may have heard the Isely Brothers followed by Bachman Turner Overdrive, then some Steely Dan, Alice Cooper, Chi-Lites, Ray Steven's, and so on- not only on the same station but played one after the other.
It was a different time, for sure.
Loved the 70s reggae, punk, disco, r&b, soft rock, rock, metal, etc I loved it all..
But were you exposed to much music that was 50 years old on the radio when you were younger?
IMO this song is the GOAT. All elements fused together; blues, rock, soul. Classic. The back story on how Merry Clayton at the last minute graced this masterpiece is legendary.
The Rolling Stones worked so much on the beginning of their songs. So many songs had such a great intro. Count up all their songs that started with incredible beginnings.
We grew up during Vietnam 😱😭❤
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
"Sister Morphine" "Monkey Man"
Yes! that is "one helluva intro". It's brilliant and gives me goosebumps. I always enjoy your reactions
When Merry Clayton was asked to sing the solo part, it was 1am and she had been asleep, she threw her robe on and went down to the studio and belted out one of the most iconic guest parts on any rock song.
My favorite Stones song. From that great alternate tuning riff by Keith to those Charlie Watts drum bangs..and of course Merry Clayton's singing...A Masterpiece.
This one of the greatest rock bands in history, hugely influenced by what came before them, and hugely influencing what came after.
An American Songwriter article stated, “We randomly phoned up this poor lady [Merry Clayton] in the middle of the night, and she arrived in her curlers and proceeded to do that in one or two takes, which is pretty amazing. She came in and knocked off this rather odd lyric." The Socio/political scene and the absolutely musical giftedness of the crew writing and recording this track is legendary. So cool that you are exploring these jams and sharing that journey with others. Enlightenment is not soley for the individual, but heightens everyone in their sphere.
It's a lot of fun watching young people (I'm 63) reacting to songs I've been loving and playing since the '60's and '70's.
When I see the joy you get from them, it reminds me of how I felt when I first heard them years ago.
“This is revolutionary music.” Very astute comment . And I still get chills listening to the song . Also, Martin Scorsese‘s favorite song based on how many movies he’s put it in
The middle solo from the lady singing on her second verse where she goes an octave higher and her voice cracks in the best way gives me Goosebumps. You can hear Mick Jagger hoot his approval. Top 5 song ever.
There's a video floating around of Mary Clayton's isolated vocals. She's put her whole soul into it
Watch “ Twenty Feet From Stardom” doc about her, Lisa Fischer and other brilliant backup singers
This album is from 1969. It is part of their 4 album "glory years" of '68 to '72: "Beggar's Banquet", "Let it Bleed", "Sticky Fingers", and "Exile on Main Street'. The Stones then sort of became parody of themselves, until they retooled in the punk era with "Some Girls".
Some Girls was fantastic! Different, but fantastic.
I’m only a young 57 but my hubby and I long for all the music of the ‘60’s, 70’s because it truly was a special time in music history that we feel may never be seen again…. Enjoy!
Keith has amazing intercombining guitar plays to make a painting. He is the most significant member of Rolling Stones by far.
Born in the late 50s, grew up in the 60s, came of age in the 70s, played in bands through the 70s-80s-90s.........saw almost everyone in concert and even got the chance to open for a few international acts. No need to feel embarrassed. I actually envy you a little, as I remember back to the 1st time I got to hear all this legendary music.
As a 69 year old baby boomer I want to welcome you to my world. Thank you for being open to the oldies.
Play the UA-cam vid with Vietnam in the background. It's so PERFECT for this song. ..also, this song has the best backing singer EVER. (Merry Clayton, she's 75 today)
I loved the way you had to listen to the intro over again. It is iconic. I've been listening to this track since it first came out.and it still gives me chills every time.
From about 1968 to 1974, the Stone were making some of the absolutely best rock music in the world. Almost all of their songs at that time were basically blues based. In that period, a new guitar player was added to the group, Mick Taylor.
They made no bones about it: the loved the blues and gave a lot of credit to those old blues greats who inspired them.
Most anything from their Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers (the best), Exile on Main Street , and Goats Head Soup albums was a demonstration of their greatness. My personal favorites: I Got the Blues and Sister Morphine.
God bless Merry Clayton, the soul of this song......
Paint it Black, Jumping Jack Flash, Tumbling Dice, Honky Tonk Woman, Satisfaction, Little Red Rooster, Miss You, the list is endless, especially the classic album tracks right through to the 80s.
I never really considered myself a big Stones fan, but looking at my music library that can't be true.
Hey! If you love music? You love The Rolling Stones. 😊
For my generation listening to the Stones is like breathing. Love them so much!
‘Beast of Burden’ is my favorite Stones song. The guitar interplay is top notch.
Brotha, you're givin' me the big grins! I'm an old Arizona desert boy.....just turmed 69 in Dec. '23. A YOUNG 69 mind you. Oh man, at our ubiquitous Fri. nite "boonie" parties after high school games when this song was just hitting the airwaves everywhere (late 60's thru early 70's) we'd have hundreds of us kids out in the desert with a huge bonfire and all these 4x4 Jeep, Broncos and Blazers circled around us with huge speakers guys would bring from home.....and we'd blast this stuff as loud as we could stand it. OMG....keg after keg....Boone's Farm wine and everybody had a $10 fat bag of ditchweed in their purses and pockets. And we all BONDED for life at those boonies....with The Stones, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Rory Gallagher, The Beatles kicking ass until the wee hours. I've said it a million times, I feel SO LUCKY to have been birthed when I was and WHERE I was (USA). What a way to grow up. Not surprising, I'm still tight with a lot of those same people that I stumbled around with out in the desert back then. What a joy. So glad you have found The Stones, brother. Keep digging into all the stuff this era has to offer.....it's LIMITLESS. What a long, strange trip you're about to go on, kind sir! God Bless us all jbeinarizona
I seem the Roliing Stones in concert a couple years ago. They were the best group I have ever seen in concert and I've been to so many concert in my life. The Stone's put on the best show ever..❤🥰
I'm not the biggest Rolling stones fan but this is one of my favourite songs ever, and always makes me think of the departed haha
One of my all time favourite Stones songs! It was on the 1969 album “Let it Bleed”
That album and Sticky Fingers are my favourite albums.
That was a good year.
My favorite Stones album: "Let It Bleed"
Exile on Main St is the best!
I’m not sure if he is aware just how significant Gimme Shelter is in music history.
🤘🏻RocK LiVeS!🤘🏻
I was in Vietnam as a point man in the Ashau valley with 101st Airborne Division when this song came out in 1969. I first heard this song in a bunker at LZ Sally living what this
song was about. It still is a great song 54 years later,
This song has been my favorite Stones song for a long time. In recent years its enjoyed a resurgence in popularity.
“Sympathy for the Devil,” “Paint It Black,” “Beast of Burden,” and “Start Me Up” are all huge songs. You’d be safe with any of them, but “Sympathy for the Devil” is the next obvious choice.
I still get chills from this song. One of the best.
I concur about not being embarrassed. A lot of people weren't exposed to every kind of music. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. My older sister is a HUGE Stones fan, so in turn I became one, too. People are in two camps when it comes to the greatest bands ever. You are either Beatles or Stones. I personally am a Stones fan for life.
I'm enthusiastically adding my vote for Sympathy for the Devil as one you would appreciate as well! There's a similar style lyric video for that one too, which is especially important for understanding this song. It looks like graffiti.
of all stones tunes it's one I don't listen to// I have zero sympathy for the devil or any homage placed on it/ while it played at the California concert person was stabbed to death as the band played/ will never be great for me/ Peace loving old hippie that I am
I can understand your view. As a fellow child of the 1960s, I never interpreted the lyrics as being sympathetic to the devil. In fact, the message I got was it was quite the opposite. That we give ourselves a pass by attributing evil to this fantastical being when, in fact, it's "you and me". The many examples in the verses of horrors over centuries and from around the globe, reinforced to me that it's pervasive, and very human, behavior.
Many others that I love( Wild Horses. Waiting on a Friend, Paint it Black...) so why get caught up on one tune it's just not my thang...
Love Jesus is just alright by Me by the Doobie Brothers it just feels good. Don't get hung up on others; do Your own thang
Anything from the greatest four album sequence in Rock history -- Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street -- is worth listening to. My other favorites from the same album as Gimmer Shelter are the title track, Let It Bleed, and Monkey Man. You have probably already heard You Can't Always Get What You Want without realizing it.
Love the pureness of your reaction - it's never to late to come to great music. Top man.
This was on the album Let It Bleed. In 1969 I was in the Army and this was my favorite album. The album included Honky Tonk Women and Monkey Man. Great album and the music still resonates today.
Relaxing vibes, ‘wild horses’ by them, is timeless also. ❤️✌️
Yeah----this is one ripped song when the Stones were cranking out hit after hit after hit. The talent invilved with stuff like this defies simple explanation. loved it all.
One of the great songs, a song that marked the end of the innocence of the sixties peace and love vibe into the reality of a very screwed up world.
Many talented black women back up singers toured and still tour with the Stones.
I'm 62 now and when I first heard this song as a young child, I had a WTF moment.
Even though you can't physically see music, I stared at the speakers in disbelief as to what was coming out of them.
When you look up the word "Rhythm" in the dictionary it simply says " Gimme Shelter"
Everybody raves about the obvious female vocals which are great, though what impresses me most about 'Gimme Shelter' is Charlie's Drumming patterns and Bill's throbbing Bass lines.
As a Drummer myself, I found that I don't need to count at all, I can just feel anything that is required.
I won't give away any 'trade' secrets though.
'Gimme Shelter' is an amazing piece of art created by human genius.
Basically...............
"Mick have you seen my nail clippers?"
"They're on your Amp Keef"
Basically................
Greatest guitars ever on this song. Love how their intensity builds after every stanza. Absolute perfection!
GFR did a better version imo
@@BlazinRiver1 LOL.
I could have unlimited money, all the gear in the world and would still never recreate the tone of the intro, it's laced with something. was a spiritual experience listening to this for the first time., remember exactly where I was and what I was doing like it was yesterday
Thee #1 song the stones ever recorded IMVHO! Mary Clayton called down at midnight to come sing on a bands album she didn’t even know and showing up with curlers in her hair and pregnant, then giving the performance of a lifetime was so powerful! I will never get tired of this song ever!!!
YOU HAVE YOUR LIFETIME TO ABSORB AND ENJOY ALL MUSIC!!!!🎤🎤🎻🎺🎸🎷🎹📯🎤🎸🎸🎺🎹
It’s a joy to see the genuine pleasure you get from hearing this song
Merry Clayton made this song. Such an incredible story around this studio session and how she came to sing on it, as others have commented. What an amazing life and legacy she has had.
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking "..off of Sticky Fingers..one of the finest pieces of music ever...
The female singer Merry Clayton was 81/2 months pregnant in bed with curlers in her hair when got a phone call that the Rolling Stones were in town recording this song and needed a vocalist to finish up this song and needed her right then because they were wrapping up the song and going back to England. Her husband told her do it so she said OK and a car picked her up at midnight and she still had curlers in her hair and recorded her part that night and was paid cash on the spot and driven back home. Mick Jagger was so impressed with her he used her exclusively in the late 60's and 70's
Gimme Shelter is a powerful song. It raises goosebumps and makes my nipples hard. For older folks like me it take me back to a fantastic but turbulent time. The female singer, Merry Clayton, has her own tragedy connected to this song.
So Happy you found "The Stones" Polo!!
Every single song is Worthy of a listen!
I grew up with my four brothers listening to them in the 70's and as
A 10 year old in "74" I was a huge fan.
Huge Catalog, I'm here for it!!!
I am 63 and my mother exposed me to all types of music growing up. She. Introduced me to Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, all the great blues artist, jazz and country. I still listen to everything but opera. The greatest gift you can give is to pass along the joy of music
The Rolling Stones are a Blues band, this is one of their greatest hits amongst many. Mary Clayton's background vocals put it through the roof. Gritty, a masterpiece in hindsight
I’m SO happy you reacted to this, Polo! For an extra treat listen to the live version featuring Lisa Fischer, she’ll blow your mind! I’d suggest “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” next! ✌️🎶
It goes both ways dude...there is some music I never would have heard without you, so I appreciate what you do. There are a lot of reaction people out there, and you are the first person I felt was worth contributing to in hopes of you reacting to my favorite band, not just because you are brave enough for some Zappa or some Floyd, but that you seem authentic. I am so glad we get to share your journey together, and I hope you hop on the bus with my request!
I was lucky enough to see the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park in 2022. We had great tickets quite close to the front. They absolutely ROCKED it ❤. What an amazing experience. Glad you’re here now and enjoying their awesome work ❤
Merry Clayton is the lady singing the 'background' vocals on this classic rock song! They called her and got her out of bed in the middle of the night to come to the studio to sing them. 1 Take and she put so much into singing it, you can hear her voice crack, that it is considered one of the most amazing performances of all time. Sadly it put so much strain on her body that she miscarried her baby the next day! There are 2 songs that I consider the quintessential rock songs, this is one and the Stones "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is the other. You need to check it out!
One of the greatest songs of all time. The lyrics are power too.
Its not just an anti-war/protest song its an anti-wrong song, rape, murder, incest, the abuse of the planet, and ourselves. Thats what this song is about.
This band has a dark history, i like them.
@@shawnduncan7846 your absolutely correct, that was a dark time in American history...the civil rights movement was a turning point, a major one.
And ALL 1955ers freaking ROCK my brothers and sisters!!!
There's a reason the P
Rolling Stones have been around about a hundred years because they're great!
My favorite Stones song. I love this intro so much, such a deep sense of foreboading. Merry's incredible backing so tragic when you know she miscarried the day after this recording as a result of the strain.
The intro! Sometimes I just play it over and over.
I have checked out several of your reaction videos and you seem somewhat enamored by the classic rock genre. Don't be embarrassed you're starting on a journey and let me tell you you're still at the very beginning. Just keep doing a deeper dive starting with the Beatles. And you work your way through the 60s and the 70s. I believe you are just beginning to have your mind fully blown.
The Rolling Stones, the Beatles and the Animals use to hang together and talk music.
Best era for music 60's-70's and I was there :)
Sympathy for the Devil is more historically accurate than any text book you find today. One of the best songs written!
Sympathy For The Devil is my favorite but this is a close 2nd. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is immaculate...these 3 songs will change everything you ever thought could make a great song.
OH MAN!!!!!! I am a fifty year old English white boy who everybody LAUGHED AT for loving this music when I was a kid. It was like 20 years old even in those days. I ADORED IT AND I STILL DO! Those Rolling Stones went out and soaked themselves in old old RnB music that no-one had heard of (I'm talking Howlin Wilf etc) then got wasted, then produced this magic. Is there really any whitey music anywhere else this good? They got rhythm from the black old-timers. Charlie Watts the drummer was a jazz drummer, but anchored a rock band! The singer was apparently heavily pregnant and got called in to the studio on a whim with no notice, and produced an utterly timeless performance with THAT voice crack to end all voice cracks. Give it to me BABY! GIMME SHELTER!! The Old Stones at their Blistering Best!!!!! Peace and love xxxxxx
1969 Album “Let It Bleed”
Check out Paint it Black.
Angie, Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, Wild Horses, Beast of Burden.
Wait till you hear the song, “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” Listen to the entire album cut. It’s got some musical development happening.
This band another GOAT , love mick’s voice 🥰🔥🇬🇧🤛🏻xxxxx
It's the EFFING STONES, MAN!! Keep listening to every single song they ever recorded!!!
Correct
