"Clayton's life almost ended i 2014, when a car accident so shattered her body that doctors had to amputate her legs below the knees. She has channeled her trauma into music, and one result is the star-studded album Beautiful Scars. Some of the album tracks are inspirational and others are straight-up gospel, her voice honed from growing up a preacher's kid in Louisiana ... The pop, soul, R&B, and gospel mix that is Beautiful Scars is an ideal salute to Merry Clayton's career, because she excels in all of these genres".
