Merry Clayton
I would like to take this space and this time to thank all of my fans – from the ones who’ve stood beside since ‘the early days’ (“shhhh”) to the ones who discovered me in “20 Feet From Stardom” – for all of the love and support you have showered me with during these several recent years of challenge for me. My gift to you is this song and the album from which it is taken. May they inspire and comfort you as we lift ourselves to higher ground in our Days of Victory ahead. I’m claiming them…and I’m claiming you.
Pre-Order 'Beautiful Scars' and listen to "Touch The Hem Of His Garment" out NOW!
