Vocal dynamo Merry Clayton was just 16 when she became the lead female singer in the Ray Charles Orchestra and 20 when she famously duetted with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones’ classic “Gimme Shelter.” She was 21 when she sang on Neil Young’s equally classic “Southern Man” and on much of Carole King’s landmark album, “Tapestry.”
Now, at the age of 73, Clayton who co-starred in the 2014 Oscar-winning music documentary “20 Feet From Stardom” is back with “Beautiful Scars,” her first solo album since 1994. Born out of tragedy, it marks the start of an inspirational new chapter for the versatile singer, who has collaborated with everyone from Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson and Coldplay to Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Lynyrd Skynyrd (that’s her singing on the choruses of “Sweet Home Alabama”).
