At 3:25-3:29 in the song Let It Loose, right as Jagger sings "...won't ya shine a light...." - you can hear someone in the background singing "liggghhhhhhhtttttttt...", almost screaming it - really heartfelt...To my ears it's Keith. Can someone check and let me know what you think?

Thanks!

He is listed for background vocals, so it is possible.

It's Keith! Ah I love that song, it is so dramatical, souflul...damn, it just moving me, you know. And I just love all those little turns Keith takes there...like the first one I think at "some things, well, I can't refuse". This song got a heart. i just love it. And I just love all those tiny heartful background vocals from our beloved Keith !

Yes, it's a very emotional song indeed. A good one!

one of my faves

I wish they would have peformed this song live in '72. It would still be nice to see them dust it off, but Mick just couldn't sing it like that anymore.

GREAT song, whether it features keef's vocals or not . . .

Nice catch, Ron Burgundy.

Keith really had some pipes back in the late '60s/early '70s, didn't he? At times he almost sounds like a gospel singer - a female gospel singer, more specifically.

What the hell happened between '78 and '81? Did substituting the booze for the smack @#$%& his voice up that much?

I guess so, he was a phenomenally gifted backup singer.

Now is voice is going south, I might be wrong but in Milan, during the Licks tour, he sang "Happy" in A rather than the usual B ...

Me and my brother have a theory that he is the guy who invented the role of the rock n'roll back up vocalist in the waiy it is meant in every rock band.
Just listen to any rock record with back-up vocals and you realize Keith's was the paradigm everyone else followed.
I like is backups also on Torn and Frayed but his greates effort is on Casino Boogie, that song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.

I just played this on my high-end system, and boy, that sure sounds like Keith! The same voice makes an appearance at the 4:01 mark; this one sounds even more like Keith. I think it is conclusive.

Yeah - it sounds like Keith's backup's on so many other Exile songs as well...

He sang his arse off on this album

At least we've got the "Dallas Rehearsals" versions from '72 where Mick tries it 9 times. But I agree: Mick could not deliver like that today. He's too much of a perfectionist these days.

I just don't hear it early on. I hear him from about 4:15 on.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

But

Amen. A real pity.
