Adele "Rolling in the Deep" music video
This video and this song are really beautiful. My faith is always restored in the mainstream when Adele belts something out. Right on. I love all the musical references in this too (from the 60s all the way to the 80s, the BeeGees, the Ronettes, Patti Labelle, etc.)

Merry Clayton's backup vocals on "Gimme Shelter"
