On the old daytime David Letterman show Rich Hall played a private eye said to be investigating a missing woman: “We think she was kidnapped by a baseball team”, and they played the line: “when I was here and you were gone...the Angels came...”

“Gimme Shelter” and “Like A Rolling Stone” are my top 2 “Rock and/or Roll” songs of all time.

The back story of Merry Clayton singing background is compelling and tragic.

She was called near midnight to come to a LA studio to record her vocals. Although pregnant, she went and gave a performance of a lifetime that truly blew Jagger away. If listening closely, you can hear him exclaim “Wow”.

Afterwards, she lost her baby from the exertion of her vocals.

One of the most horrifically mawkish recordings of all time.

If you don’t stop I’m going to personally stand in your front yard and sing “McArthur Park” While playing a ukulele.

“Naked voice from Merry Clayton in gimme shelter”

Merry & Jagger describe that late night session...and her voice is isolated - amazing!!!!

If listening closely, you can hear him exclaim “Wow”.

Yup,I read that she lost her baby shortly after the session.I'm no obstetrician but I wonder if that wasn't just a sad coincidence.

As for "woo"...some time ago I found an isolated vocals version of Gimme Shelter on the web which is really awesome.On it,you can hear Jagger clearly go "woo".

First time I heard Gimmie Shelter was in the PX at Fort Knox as I was in BCT at the time.Being an Army recruit and hearing that song...Yikes! It's still as vivid for me today as it was almost 50 years ago.

I always thought Honey was murdered by a motorcycle gang.

“...when she was there and all alone, the Angels came.”

I have an urge to drive a stake through the heart of this thread. Each song mentioned made me puke then and now.

“And Honey I miss you...”

If it is in my brain all day, I am putting it in everyone’s brain. Consider yourselves queer song cursed.

:-)

Check this out...pretty amazing,IMO.But as you listen be prepared for long periods of silence...the vocal parts are *well* isolated.

I always thought “The angels came” was just a nice way of saying he hired a hit man to take her out while he was gone so he would have plausible deniability.

“Honey I miss you, and I’m being good...with your sister”.

Aw jeez another song that will be bouncing around my skull for awhile. I’m not sure even Iz could save that song with his uke.
