That voice is Merry Clayton, probably the most famous back-up singer in rock history.
-
Merry Clayton, a background singer whose voice cracks, was called into the session in the early morning hours, pregnant, with curlers in her hair (and wearing a fur) She miscarried the child the next day, and speculation says it was because of her effort singing and opening a heavy studio door by herself. She was plagued by the event for the rest of her life. Adds a bit more menace to the song.
-
The country was really on fire when this song came out, for many reasons and this song really captures that. Every time it comes on the volume goes way up. Great reaction to this first listen.
-
Just getting started, but the instrument you're talking about is a Guiro - it's a long kind of submarine-shaped hard but lightweight wood thing, usually with a colorful design painted on it and it has all these ridges built into it and then you just take a stick and run it back and forth across it to make that really distinct rhythmic sound.

Next up, Tumblin dice, Can't you hear me knocking, Sympathy for the devil, dead flowers.
-
From this point, when Mick Taylor took over as guitarest, until he left in 1975, were the best years the Stones had. Get Your Ya Ya's Out, Exile on Main Street, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Goats Head Soup, It's Only Rock and Roll. All were multiple platinum.
-
As a guy of 68 yo, I’ve seen the stones 10 times. Best live RR band. The real thing in concert. I admire this guy, for a first lesson , he wants to know historical context. Props to you man!
-
You should check out the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. Great show. It talks about Merry Clayton's career & the Gimme Shelter session, and also the incredible Lisa Fisher who's sang on tour w/ the Stones forever (featured on this song). Background singers are super talented, and it's a complicated story. You also have weird situations like Tina Turner and the Ikettes singing backup on tracks on Frank Zappa's most popular albums in early 70's (Apostrophe, OverNite Sensation).
-
To me, this is the best Stones song ever and it’s in my Top Ten songs of all time. Glad you enjoyed it!
-
GREAT first impression song!
-
Stones have been my favorite band since they hit the US airwaves in the early 60’s. Have seen them 19 times in concert. Let It Bleed is my favorite Stones album.
-
My favorite RS song. I'm not a really huge RS fan, I will admit it, but this one really gets me, especially the crack in Clayton's voice. So powerful, even sexy.
-
Merry Clayton was backup singer for Ray Charles and is the sister of Sam Clayton the conga player for Little Feat, still with them. I saw him and his band last year in Houston.
-
Can't wait until you check out my fave: ' Can't You Hear Me Knocking' , the full album version It's an amazing jam session!!
-
The percussion raspy sounding instrument is called a guiro. Love your reactions.
-

-
Maybe their best song! ♥ I suggest these Rolling Stones songs: Paint It Black, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Angie, Honkey Tonk Woman & Angry (their brand new single)
-
The incredible Merry Clayton 1969 (The Original) & Lisa Fischer graced us with their voices on "Gimme Shelter".
-
You picked the RIGHT SONG to get an intro to the 'Sones! And Merry Clayton killed it!!
-
The Stones have some absolute masterpieces. This is one of them . Suggest you listen to you Can’t Always Get What You Want… studio version with the choir… absolutely beautiful.
