What a track! Those horns are blistering. This is my first time (knowingly) hearing Merry Clayton. After listening, I did a cursory search; looks like she's put out a record as recently as last year.
Wow....thanks for shining a light, Matt, on Merry's story and gutsy cover! You're right, the horns are bitchin'! I've certainly been aware of her impact on music lo these many decades, but I never knew the personal pain she endured doing the Stones song. I gotta think her covering the song helped her heal, emotionally. Hope so.
I'll say it again: your "Going to a Go-Go" is the best new 'Stack to emerge in months, and a wonderful way to unleash your fabulous writing skills on "the rest of" the rock galaxy! Readers who may not be all in on your wonderful Elvis lane, "That Fatal Mailing List" (https://tfml.substack.com/), because they're not a fan of his, etc, would do well to swoop up a subscription to "Going to a Go-Go"! And, pronto!😎👍🎼🎶🎵
