OK, this would've been just another number from the Stones [yawn], except for "that" voice. Credit the lady? I'm posting a recording as opposed to a live video on purpose. Hear that backup?





Probably the best, like fn' ever. Her name is . . . Uh, don't know? Somebody finally gave her and her sisters the credit they are sooooo long overdue in a new flick. Hard to believe, but I actually can direct you to what should become a very important resource about the ladies who totally made the music better, and they rarely got their creds. Just take another look at my post title wink

Hey, Love Shack convinced me that I'd wasted my life by not becoming a backup singer. I'm short enough and almost have red hair laugh

Anyway, this docu rightfully recognizes the awesome voices of the women that made all those guy "gods" of rock, soul and everything else possible. Cool stuff 4 sure.

Lisa Fischer sang with the Stones. GREAT film! Saw it a few weeks ago. Darlene Love, Claudia Lennear & Táta Vega are amazing.


You want to see another film that will knock you out? Look for The Wrecking Crew.

I will check it out, I think it's on Netflix. Gimme' and the Great Gig in the Sky would be nothing without them. That's just two of many.

They are more lead than backup, but like a bit pompous Bruce said "That walk to the front is complicated." It was taken out of context of course, but, it is Bruce. I personally can only take so much of him...and, this has been slightly hijacked. grin

So how's it goin' girlfriend?

"...all great minds..."


** It's the exact example my mind leapt to
(just before I hit the rack...)

...must be 'The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon'!

The first time we saw Roger sans THE Floyd
he had HER (Clare Torry) flown in from FRANCE
via the Concord... just to swoop-in do Great
GiG In the Sky for 7 mins., then rushed back
to JFK in time for the return trip to Paris.

All that was said... "Ah! Our 'SPECIAL GUEST!"
and Immediately broke into, what I always call,
"The GREATEST BLUES RIFF Ever Written!"

Nobody knew just HOW 'Special' until we read
about how it had all been accomplished the
following morning in the New York Times!

But then Rog has always been BIG on Theatrics. wink

According to this article, she sang backup on Gimme Shelter. The audio is worth a listen if you have time.
