Listening now to this fantastic guitar rendition of 'It Ain't Necessarily So' by the great Grant Green with a superb lineup behind him: Sam Jones (double bass)-Art Blakey (drums) & Sonny Clark (piano) from the Lp 'Nigeria' originally recorded on January, 1962. Enjoy!
This is Mary Clayton's vocal on “Gimme Shelter” stripped completely naked. No music. Just her.
That crack in her voice was not planned. It was real. The Stones kept it.

Album: Communiqué 1979
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
"You know, it may be a game
Ah, but I won't play to lose"
He's burning the grass
He take up a glass
He swallow it neat
He crosses the floor
He open the door
He take a sniff of the street
And she tell him that he's crazy
She's a-saying
"Hey baby, I'm your wife"
Yeah, she tell him that he's crazy
For gambling a-with his life
But he climbs on his horse
You know he feel no remorse
He just a-kicks it alive
His motor is fine
He take it over the line
Until he's ready to dive
And she tell him that he's crazy
Yes, she's saying
"Listen baby, I'm your wife"
Yeah, she tell him that he's crazy
For gambling a-with his life
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
"You know, it may be a game
Ah, but I won't play to lose"
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He's too fast to stop
He take it over the top
He make a line in the news

This time last year, we announced John’s new album, Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, a project that meant so much to John, the family/band, and everyone who has carried these songs with them over the years.
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
There is no dark side of the moon, really
Matter of fact, it's all dark
