Great read thanks for sharing. A much underrated gem for sure and would have made a tremendous live addition to the Licks Club dates.

I thought Scorcese used it to brilliant effect in the painful hand-pummeling scene in "The Departed"

I always thought it was "She could never arrive on time"!

I also thought it went "I ain't in love/I ain't in luck"

It was also used poorly in Beyond The Sea, the movie bio of the late & great Bobby Drain.

Really?  I missed that entirely.  But then again I was hiding behind the couch and peeking between my fingers for much of that movie.  What a shameful and lame bio of a great performer.

Charlie Watts does not drum on this track. Jimmy Miller does.

Vanetta Fields has lived here in Oz for over 30 years, mainly known here as backing vocalist for our most successful solo male artist, John Farnham.

It does. I've certainly listened to it enough times to know.

nice sentiments in the article, but just a lot of blather, really. I thought being on the Gibson site, it was going to have hard information about the gear used on the recording. Instead the writer seems to think the track including backup singers was all done in one "moment," rather than having things overdubbed after the core band put down the backing. And was this one even done at Nellcote, or later in LA?

"Shine a Light" anyway dates from well before the Nellcote sessions.

Yes, it was poorly done. Maybe someday...

YES!!!  When those horns come in I get chills up and down my spine every time. And the vocal...indescribable.

Truthfully, I never thought much of the song.  Maybe I didn't fully understand the emotion of the tune.  After reading this article, I'll have to give this song a careful listen.

Tremendous track obviously. One of their best recordings, if you know what I'm trying to say- just amazingly constructed. It's got to be one of the top 10 ballads in the rock canon. Definitely one of the best uses of gospel in rock music. Plus Mick's vocal is absolutely first rate. He was at his peak during the late 60s, early 70s no doubt. Every instrumental and vocal part is incredible, although I never really have noticed a prominent bass part but otherwise. Most songs going over 5 minutes are padded with meandering solos, but not this one.
