Originally released in 1969 on the Let It Bleed album, “Gimme Shelter” is widely regarded as one of the Rolling Stones’ most powerful and politically charged songs.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it reflects the chaos and violence of the late 1960s, particularly the Vietnam War and civil unrest.
(History repeating?)🔥 🌍
In live performances from the late 1980s onward, the Stones added a dramatic twist to the song by featuring a powerful female vocalist to deliver the haunting solo originally sung by Merry Clayton on the studio version. Among those vocalists, Lisa Fischer stands out as the most iconic .🎸 🚀
Fischer, who toured with the Stones from 1989 to 2015, brought raw emotion and breathtaking vocal power to the live performances of “Gimme Shelter.” Her rendition of the famous “rape, murder—it’s just a shot away” lines often brought audiences to their feet and became a highlight of each concert.
