I saw some pop culture survey last year or so that said Gimme Shelter was voted the best Stones song by fans. I'd have to agree. A lot of the appeal was the cries of “Rape! Murder!” by the exceptional backup singer, Merry Clayton.

Sadly, I can’t listen to that without thinking about what happened to Merry the day after she recorded the vocals.
