I had heard that Mick wrote Shine a Light after Billy Preston had taken him to hear a Gospel church choir, but did not know they sang on Exile.
Really great to see the breadth of musical knowledge here on IORR.

Yes, but Shine A Light was recorded first by Leon Russell as Get A Line On You.

Tom, are you saying that my statement above is not correct? Mick wrote SAL before Billy took him to Gospel churches? I listened to Leon's version on Youtube...on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a -5.

Some songs were done in Los Angeles where Jagger was attending a local church.
The choir on Shine A Light is from that church I believe...

Specialty Records "Greatest Gospel Gems" is a good collection for those who want to test the waters (before the full baptism in the rivers of righteousness,y'all!)
Lots of greats on that one: Blind Boys of Alabama, Sam Cooke, Swan Silvertones and others.
