Merry Clayton was the background singer on Gimme Shelter and Sweet Home Alabama and 100s of great songs and was one of the standouts in 2013 documentary, "20 Feet From Stardom".    A year later she was in a car wreck and lost both of her legs.

Check out Rick Rubin's podcast:  She grew up with Billy Swan and people like Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson sang in her dad’s church.
