Merry Clayton makes this song all that it is.

You do know what happened to her as a result of singing on it. Sad story.

Lisa Fischer, who has performed this song excellently for years on Stones tours, has said every time she sings it is her tribute to Merry Clayton.

Yes indeed! This is just an average track without her power. So much so you even hear Mick let out a “WOOOO!” at one point when she’s pushing really hard.

There’s a great interview with her, and when the opening notes play you can see it hit her. There are LOTS of feelings attached to this song for her.

Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChONufP0FEs

“Merry Clayton makes this song all that it is.”

Lisa Fischer was also great on the song.
