Jim in Anchorage Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I have no idea who they/she are , but sometimes I wish Mick would just keep his mouth shut.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I have no idea who they/she are , but sometimes I wish Mick would just keep his mouth shut. Half of the tracks on Darkside of the moon.
UB2SF Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Agreed on the others posted so far. I'll submit: - "Young Americans" by David Bowie... featuring a young Luther Vandross. - The "Harvest" and "Harvest Moon" albums by Neil Young... featuring James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt
The Poojer Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Clayton Merry Clayton is the female vocalist. She was a Gospel singer who did backup vocals for various artists, including Ray Charles. She had a regular role on the '80s TV show Cagney and Lacey, and played a maid in the movie Maid To Order. She released her own version of this song. I have no idea who they/she are , but sometimes I wish Mick would just keep his mouth shut.
inkman Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Clayton Thanks Pooj. I like to find out about these cog in the wheel types that are really the foundation for good music.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Pretty cool. Sweet Home Alabama? Who'd a thought it?
Fan in San Diego Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Half of the tracks on Darkside of the moon. +1
buffaloaggie Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Sandy Denny...only outside vocalist ever to sing on a Led Zeppelin song.
1billsfan Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I have no idea who they/she are , but sometimes I wish Mick would just keep his mouth shut. I've always considered that to be the best backup rock vocal ever. Never knew who it was singing it until now though.
GOBILLS78 Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Agreed on the others posted so far. I'll submit: - "Young Americans" by David Bowie... featuring a young Luther Vandross. - The "Harvest" and "Harvest Moon" albums by Neil Young... featuring James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt Hmm, I always thought Ronstadt was only on "Heart of Gold." I'll have to break out "Harvest" again. Awesome album.
HopsGuy Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Lindsey Buckingham backed up Tom Petty on "Walls". No video's anywhere on the intarwebs, tho.
linksfiend Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Lindsey Buckingham backed up Tom Petty on "Walls". No video's anywhere on the intarwebs, tho. I love that tune. I waver between which version I like better - Circus or No3 I had no idea Buckingham sang backuop
MarkyMannn Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Sandy Denny...only outside vocalist ever to sing on a Led Zeppelin song. Huge LZ fan and I never knew that. She died a short life it looks
MarkyMannn Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I have no idea who they/she are , but sometimes I wish Mick would just keep his mouth shut. Local cover band Hit N Run does a killer version of Gimme Shelter, especially the female vocals. This Wednesday they close out the summer Molson concert series at Gateway Park in N Ton. Don't miss it
apuszczalowski Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Half of the tracks on Darkside of the moon. I was just at the Classic Albums live of "Dark Side of the Moon" on Friday. They had a woman who did all the backup singing who was pretty good, although on that album, I'd also have to give the soud effects guy credit for backup vocals too, lol
bbb Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Whenever I've seen the Stones sing that song in concert, and I'm sure it's not Merry Clayton up there every time, but whoever it is, absolutely steals the show. She's incredible.
Buftex Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Whenever I've seen the Stones sing that song in concert, and I'm sure it's not Merry Clayton up there every time, but whoever it is, absolutely steals the show. She's incredible. The woman who has been the Stones touring back-up vocalist for the last 20 years or so, is Lisa Fischer... does a great duet with Keith Richards on "Talk Is Cheap", called "Make No Mistake".
Wooderson Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Half of the tracks on Darkside of the moon. That's the first thing I thought of. Good call man.
