------------------------

"Gimme Shelter" is a song by English rock band The Rolling Stones. It first appeared as the opening track on the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed. Although the first word was spelled "Gimmie" on that album, subsequent recordings by the band and other musicians have made "Gimme" the customary spelling. The Rolling Stones first played the song live in 1969 at Pop Go the Sixties.

I’m reminded on this week of independence that both “War, children, it’s just a shot away” but so also is love… its just a kiss away. Enjoy this cover of Rolling Stones “Gimmie Shelter” by Maxayn Lewis recorded back in 1972. Happy 4th.

does anyone have the entire version of this song ? I had the album back in the day and remember that this was the last song on side one and it continued on the other side with a monster jam . If any one still has the album could they post the entire song I would love to hear it in total . It was a very good year !

I think Kenya's comments are probably very accurate. Maxayn's version of 'Shelter' is truly great--a real gem--once heard, not easily forgotten.

Maxayn Lewis, one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. Unfortunately, she came along when the voice of female rockers was a pimple-faced nobody named janis joplin who, like elvis, made her name at the expense of, and copying from. Black people. Maxayn sang rock music, soulfully, at a time when Blacks were only marketed as R&B or "soul" or "jazz" vocalists. She was truly great, an underrated vocalist and a great band, overshadowed by a racist music industry.
