Story goes that when Mary Clayton's voice cracked during her solo spot, she glanced at lead singer Mick Jagger, and you can hear him shout "Woo!". She thought she biffed it, but saw Mick lovin' it, so she kept right on singing. That's the take they used, and Mary's emotive cracking became the best moment in the song!

She does the best reactions you can tell she has a great ear for good music 🎶 and understands how these rock songs are timeless

I wasn't around then, but I feel like this is one of the songs that made people's parents afraid of the Rolling Stones and rock'n'roll. It's SO funky and SO dark.

Pretty much every rock band that has earned their worth will tell you that The Rolling Stones has been a major influence in their music. The Stones and the Beatles pretty much Changed rock and roll throughout the sixties to what it is now. The amazing thing is that they just released a new album and are touring this year [but had to postpone due to the virus outbreak].

When Merry Clayton, the backup singer, realized her voice broke in the "rape, murder" part wanted to go again, they said it was exactly the intensity and urgency they wanted in the song, you can hear someone yell "yeah!" in the background. Fun fact, Merry Clayton was 8 months pregnant when they recorded this.

Amazing how these musicians were so smart at such young ages. The song starts with them knowing the horrors of war which could have rape and murder and in an instant. Then at the end the song offers a a solution of Love. It's just a kiss away.

“Tumbling Dice.” Just an old fashioned, straight up R&R song. “I’m all sixes, sevens and nines” :)

Hella groovy is right! The Rolling Stones are a badass rock-n-roll band. Here's a short list, of what could be a very long list, of assorted bangers and ballads to check out: "Honky Tonk Women" (1969), "Wild Horses" (1971), "Brown Sugar" (1971), "Monkey Man" (1969), "Let It Bleed" (1969) , "Miss You" (1978), "Beast of Burden" (1978), "Tumbling Dice" (1972) and on and on and on.

When they released this song on the Let It Bleed album in late 1969, there really was a war going on in Viet Nam. The song asks you to think about what it would be like if war and destruction were right on your doorstep. It could also be about really bad natural disasters. Scary stuff, but they end it by reminding you that love is just a kiss away.

"Ruby Tuesday" & "As Tears Go By" are a must!

One of the few videos that enhances the song.

Merry Clayton, soul and gospel singer.

That's Merry Clayton on vocals. You can hear Jagger yell "Whoo!" when she hit that high shriek. "The recording features guest vocals by Merry Clayton, recorded at a last-minute late-night recording session during the mixing phase, arranged by her friend and record producer Jack Nitzsche.[6] After the first verse is sung by Jagger, Merry Clayton enters and they share the next three verses. A harmonica solo by Jagger and guitar solo by Richards follow. Then, with great energy, Clayton repeatedly sings "Rape, murder! It's just a shot away! It's just a shot away!", almost screaming the final stanza. She and Jagger then repeat the line "It's just a shot away" and finish with repeats of "It's just a kiss away". When speaking of her inclusion in the recording, Jagger stated in the 2003 book According to the Rolling Stones that the Rolling Stones' producer Jimmy Miller thought of having a female singer on the track and told fellow producer Jack Nitzsche to contact one: "The use of the female voice was the producer's idea. It would be one of those moments along the lines of 'I hear a girl on this track - get one on the phone.'"[6][7] Summoned from bed around midnight by Nitzsche, Clayton - heavily pregnant - made her recording with just a few takes and then returned home to bed.[6] It remains the most prominent contribution to a Rolling Stones track by a female vocalist.[8] At about 2:59 into the song, Clayton's voice cracks under the strain; once during the second refrain on the word "shot", then on the word "murder" during the third refrain, after which Jagger is faintly heard exclaiming "Woo!" in response to Clayton's powerful delivery.[9] Upon returning home, Clayton suffered a miscarriage, attributed by some sources to her exertions during the recording.[10]"-Wikipedia
